    Whilst tidying up and sorting through all the old merch stocks, we inadvertantly came across this lone remaining copy of 'Live on Radio Heemskerk'. This limited edition CD received a single print run of approximately 1000 copies which were numbered and signed and given away to the first 1000 people through the door at the band's concert at the Markthalle, Hamburg on 10th October 1998 (recorded and released as the band's '"Here Come the Ranting Lads" - Live!' CD & Video in 1999).

    What marks this copy out as particularly rare and unique, however, is that it has not been numbered and signed and must therefore be one of a very few copies that were printed slightly over the 1000 run.

lyrics

THIS VILLAGE

This village draws me
I hear it calling me back through the years
Its people are its life-blood
I am its joy; I am its tears

Makers were forged here
To forge a bond no cruel hands could destroy
Artists' hands seized it
Lost lovers grieved for it
Builders have reached for its skies
Poets have captured its beauty
They speak of its sad beauty now

This village haunts me
Its whispering hurt tears at my soul
Why did I forsake you?
Welcome me back welcome me home

A sacred bond exists here
Between the land and the people it owns
It grants no escape from the realms of its fate
It reaps the crops we have sown
This village has made me all that I am
This village is calling me home

(Gary Miller)
