Well, since there was at least the one specific song request in the request, and Joe recently (and rightly) admonished me to include the actual lyrics in a thread rather than just the link, since links can go away, I'm posting the words (and chords) of "HEARTS OF OLDEN GLORY" here. I got them at this here blicky, which appears to have the entire lyrics of the album you're wanting, Marc.

  Hearts Of Olden Glory


G e D
There´s thunder clouds round the hometown bay
C G
As I walk out in the rain
e D C D
Through the sepia showers and the photoflood days.

G D
I caught a fleeting glimpse of life
C G
And though the water´s black as night
e D C D
The colours of Scotland leave you young inside

Refrain:
e C G D
There must be a place under the sun
e C G D7
Where hearts of olden glory grow young.

G D
There´s a vison coming soon
C G
Through the faith that cleans your wound
e D C D
Hearts of olden glory will be renewed.

G D
Down the lens where the headlands stand
C G
I feel a healing through this land
e C G D
A cross for the people like wind through your hands.

Refrain
