Sad, but same. It makes me tear up when I'm not even away from home! Or Loch Lomond, can't end a party without it! I had American friends visiting one time who were terrified about the weird old people mosh pit where everyone ran headfirst at each other |

Third vote for Caledonia, more so as you get older and now living outside of Scotland exiled down south for just a little bit longer. |

I remember going to a Max Boyce gig in Edinburgh and the whole crowd was singing it! Just shows how popular he was at one time |

East 17 - Around the world
"Been around the world
Seen the seas seven sailed across them all
Seen the moon rise over paris and I watched her gently fall
On to the beat
Keep moving never stopping
Though sometimes
I feel like dropping gotta keep on and be strong avoid the wrong
Cos in this life you walk alone
Through the danger zone until you get home
Been around the world but there's no place like home" |
