I first fell in love with this song after hearing The Johnstons' rendition of it.
lyrics
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
What is right and what is wrong, by the law, by the law
What is right and what is wrong, by the law
What is right and what is wrong
By short sword or by long
The weak arm or the strong
For to draw, for to draw
The weak arm or the strong, for to draw
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar
What makes heroic strife, famed afar
What makes heroic strife
To whet the assassin's knife
And haunt a parent's life
With bloody war, bloody war
And haunt a parent's life with bloody war
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
Then let your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
Then let your schemes alone
Adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone
To his fate, to his fate
And leave a man undone to his fate
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear

Liquid Sound Company a Legend in the Acid Rock subculture make their comeback with a fine piece of an Album who makes big honor to the Bands name. Trippy and psychedelic as Always their songs are very playfull, the guitars like circle waves where floating across each other. The Vocals are like soft spells where comming out of nothing.
