Who needs Paris, who needs Rome
When we could simply stay at home?
Should we fly to Uruguay
When there’s a bridge to the Isle of Skye?
Should we dream of distant lands
When we could walk to Culbin sands
Oh, the places we could go
Let’s keep our carbon footprint low
Greece has views for which to kill
But there’s a beach at Bettyhill
The Dead Sea is a gorgeous thing
But have you cycled round the Isle of Luing?
The sights and sounds of Singapore
Can they compete with Aviemore?
Amsterdam is fine I guess but, listen, we’ve got Inverness
Can Brisbane really offer more
Than Kilchoan village store?
Seville is famous for its barber
But what about Finechty harbour?
A trip to Lisbon would be fine
But I’m in love with Catterline
I’ll admit Berlin is cool
But the best coffee’s in Ullapool
Dubai has stunning geometry
But I like the shore at Cromarty
New York, Washington, LA
I’m content in Berneray
(Do I) need a Zambian safari
When the eagle soars at Invergarry?
We could plant our flag on foreign soil
Or spend a week in Aberfoyle
Some folk long to walk on the moon
But have you sailed from Gourock to Dunoon?
This world has sights that would blow your mind
But Dunfermline, well... oh never mind
Dan's the man! There's such fragility and strength combined here and such healing, too. 'We'll be God's tiny carrier pigeons', us and the idiot savants. Ursula's Crow
