Finally it's time to leave and ‘Not in Narnia’ is Dave's tongue in cheek lament of heading back down the M6.

about

‘Gibraltar Farm’ is the name of an inconspicuous farmyard shack on a wartime airfield in England where secret agents were kitted out prior to flying off to occupied Europe. I can just hear you asking ‘what on earth does that have to do with Scotland?’ It was long after I had written the song about a girl named Violette flying off to France from Gibraltar Farm, that I happened upon a place in the far reaches of the western highlands, where the real Violette actually trained for her dangerous mission.

lyrics

Gibraltar Farm


Gibraltar Farm,
Violette came
She walked in its long green grass
and left on an aeroplane
With all that she had,
One summer’s night
riding the clouds of England and France
in the fading light
And every night I heard her calling out across the wires
(Louise…)
and I’m out on that long and lonely road I chose
and nobody in England knows but you, you, you

Oh let me go where the tears don’t flow
Oh let me stay where there is no war today


Gibraltar Farm,
Violette knew
Every turn and glance of the dangerous dance
that she had to do
With all that she had,
she did it so well
with a fire in her heart
she played out the part til the curtain fell
And every night I heard her calling out across the wires
(Louise…)
I’m out on a long and lonely road tonight
And nobody can see my light but you, you, you

Oh let me go where the tears don’t flow
Oh let me stay where there is no war today
