lyrics

LOSS AND GAIN
They came first & deprived us / Of our freedom, to fight, to protect / Things were moving, improving / Better cannon and new ways of killing / The tacksmen exiled / And the chiefs with the love of gold / But the mountains remained / And the deer were still on Creag Uanach / They came and took away / Our means with the land / We kept the ties with earth / Scraping a living / They came and gave us / New education, new equipment / No need left for crofts / But the mountains remained / They deprived us of the ancient knowledge / The old tales of the old ways / Our heritage and in their place they put / New songs to make a new heart / They gave us cars, supermarkets / Gear without end, development boards / Fish farms, shellfish farms / Deer farms, nuclear power / Electric light, water on tap / Visitors, people who stay / People who stay, people who frequent / They came and gave us / But the mountains will remain / They gave us money / All the city's mod cons / Sin and grace / Rubbish and polluted water / Great wide roads through the glens / They found what they sought / Nature enslaved and power / Over life and death / A finger on the button, like a god! / Isn't it wonderful how well you have done? / But the mountains will remain. Exp: An adaptation of the poem 'Loss & Gain' by Maoilios Caimbeul.

The sound of being incinerated by a heatwave. Feels like a concentrated beam of sand hits you in the chest, splattering grains like shrapnel. Amazing record. Fuck you, Adam Lehrer. I bet your podcast blows. phoebe}}}}}}}}}}}}
