GUEST,Para Handy Lyr/Chords Req: The Generations of Change (Armour) (17) Lyr Add: GENERATIONS OF CHANGE (Matt Armour) 27 Oct 11

The lyrics from the album cover still have a few mistakes on the place names. Maybe I'm being pedantic but I grew up in Pittenweem in the 70's and 80's and remember well the fairmers, rich fishermen - they were loaded in the 70's so the song's a bit inaccurate here - or maybe it's jealousy because then came the oil and many of my pals went to the rigs and made a lot of money.

So the corrections are: Kingsbarns (it's plural), Fladen Ground and finally Auk.

I never knew this song existed until I heard it recently on BBC Alba's Hor Gheallaidh recording of a session during Celtic Connections.

Man, it's gie braw.
