lyrics

Well I'm here looking at Eriskay
Just waiting for the perfect view
I hope something special will step in to my life
Another fine edition of Uist
Its beauty and scale is the truest

Sometimes you find a yearning for the noisy life
The city air and rock and roll
But badgers more than compensate at twice the price
For just another night in Glasgow oh yeah
And Glasgow will be Glasgow , will be Glasgow

They say Bonnie Prince Charlie visited here
And pulled out his hankie one day
And accidentally dropped seeds from his pocket
Then let the seeds fall where they may
To form sea bindweed wahey hey hey

And as I was drifting past Stoneybridge
I thought I heard a standing stone wail, whooo
So look out Julian Cope, if you hear them croon
You'll never be the same again oh no
Their crazy music drives you insane, this way

South Uist, North Uist, do what you will
Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Cherish Benbecula is my advice
And stay cool is still the main rule
Don't play yourself for a fool
Too much shortbread too soon
Old money's better than new
No midges if you visit in June
And don't let this happen to you
