World of Chances draws heavily on the bands extensive touring experience, as well as the many and varied influences that have driven how their music has evolved. At times uplifting, at times reflective, the result is a brighter, breezier, feel-good sound, yet one that is still unmistakably Skerryvore! The ‘Deluxe Edition’ features bonus live tracks, exclusive acoustic versions plus more.

Are you ready?
Here we go
Grab a friend by the hand
And swing them to and fro.
Cos tonight
I’ve got an offer
To which you can’t say no…….. no, no, no
If you give it a try
I know you won’t regret it
Or forget it.
Up to the sky, down to the ground
Put them together and around we go
Up to the sky, down to the ground
Put them together and around we go
Here we go……… here we go
Put your hands up
Are you ready?

Don’t be scared, just let go
That way you can perfect it
You’ll soon get it.
Up to the sky, down to the ground
Put them together and around we go
Up to the sky, down to the ground
Put them together and around we go

Because tonight is the place to be
You wanna be cool then listen to me
Your inhibitions should be running free
So put your hands up come on let’s see
Put your hands up, put your hands up, put your hands up……..
Put your hands up….. put your hands up…………
Let’s take a walk, once again
Take a stroll on the flooded roadside
There’s no blue, in the sky
Cos today it feels like rain
But I won’t, waste my time
Feeling sorry for myself and the weather
It’s the same almost every day
Take the rough with the smooth
Cos today it feels like rain
Let’s go outside
No matter what the weather
Even if it rains forever
Let’s be happy we’re together
Let’s go outside
We’ll all get soaked together
I won’t complain not ever
I’ll be happy come whatever
Cos I’m happy with what we got
If the sun shines or not
And if you look, at the news
And they tell you that we’re in for stormy weather
Don’t you ever get the blues
It’s just that today it feels like rain.
Let’s go outside
No matter what the weather
Even if it rains forever
Let’s be happy we’re together
Let’s go outside
We’ll all get soaked together
I won’t complain not ever
I’ll be happy come whatever
Cos I’m happy with what we got
If the sun shines or not
If it feels like rain
Don’t be ashamed
To call my name out loud
I still feel the same
Since the rain clouds came
And tried to put your fire out
Cos I’m happy with what we got
If the sun shines or not
Can you see
What I mean?
It may look like rain but with you I can’t feel a thing.
Let’s go outside
No matter what the weather
Even if it rains forever
Let’s be happy we’re together
Let’s go outside
We’ll all get soaked together
I won’t complain not ever
I’ll be happy come whatever
Cos I’m happy with what we got
If the sun shines or not
Yes I’m happy with what we got
If the sun shines or not.
I’m looking for that magic number I’m looking for the key
There’s a world of chances waiting pack your bags and come with me
I’m not telling you it’s easy it’s not simple it takes time
You gotta fight to get your piece of the pie and eat it in the sweet sunshine.
You gotta just fly so high, no time to be slow
You gotta just try, just try, don’t tell yourself no.
I shouldn’t take for granted all things I call my own
Life is just a gamble it depends which number your chips are on
When things aren’t going your way and you’re staring at the ground
Just look to the sky and search for all the things that should be found
You gotta just fly so high, no time to be slow
You gotta just try, just try, don’t tell yourself no.
You gotta just fly so high, no time to be slow
You gotta just try, just try, don’t tell yourself no.
I’m looking for that magic number I’m looking for the key
There’s a world of chances waiting pack your bags and come with me
You gotta just fly so high, no time to be slow
You gotta just try, just try, don’t tell yourself no.
You gotta just fly so high, no time to be slow
You gotta just try, just try, don’t tell yourself no.
Over land and sea and through the open sky
The people that you meet and the things that you try
The world’s a little place when you look from above
The things that really matter are the ones that you love.
Well you worry about money and the things you’ve got to pay
What other people think, what other people say
You worry about the future, you worry about the past
You wonder how longs it’s all going to last.
Cos it’s you and me and nothing else really matters
All the rest of life, is just trivial subject matter
Cos it’s you and me and nothing else really matters
All the rest of life, is just trivial subject matter
And I just want to know what you’d do when push comes to shove
It’s about the ones that you love.
Over land and sea and through the open sky
The people that you meet and the things that you try
The world’s a little place when you look from above
The things that really matter are the ones that you love.
It’s your hair or your make up or how your trousers fit
People finding out about the sins you commit
What’s the use in being guilty all of the time
Being truly happy isn’t a crime.
Cos it’s you and me and nothing else really matters
All the rest of life, is just trivial subject matter
Cos it’s you and me and nothing else really matters
All the rest of life, is just trivial subject matter
And I just want to know what you’d do when push comes to shove
It’s about the ones that you love.
It’s about the ones that you love………….
The sun splits the sky today
The sun makes me feel fine today
Show your face from the dark
Cover us all with the light
Take us away from the wind and the rain
Then leave us with the stars and moon at night.
That summer high been waiting for so long
Hiding through the winter but it’s been burning strong
That summer high I’m so glad that you’re here
Making people happy I want to keep that feeling near.
The sun burns the clouds away
The sun makes me feel fine today
Wake us up in the morning
Show us the good times again
When the days are long and the night is young
Only the shadows on the walls remain.
That summer high been waiting for so long
Hiding through the winter but it’s been burning strong
That summer high I’m so glad that you’re here
Making people happy I want to keep that feeling near.
And when the sky is as blue as the ocean
And you can lie with your feet in the sand
Well that’s when I wish that we
Could just dance like we did yesterday
Cos I just can’t lose that summer high.
That summer high been waiting for so long
Hiding through the winter but it’s been burning strong
That summer high I’m so glad that you’re here
Making people happy I want to keep that feeling near
There you stand with your masterplan
are you gonna fix it do you think you really can?
I don’t believe you
you said the same the last time.
Does it make you feel good
When you’re telling lies
Can you still say it while you look into our eyes
Cos we don’t need you
We’ve heard it for the last time.
Cos you’re always saying something and it never really works
You always do it your way never listening to us
Avoiding all the questions with your clever play on words
You shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it
You said the same the last time.
Do you think you fooled us
Do you think you’re wise
I hop you know that you’re someone we despise
And we don’t need you
We’ve heard it for the last time.
Cos you’re always saying something and it never really works
You always do it your way never listening to us
Avoiding all the questions with your clever play on words
You shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it
You said the same the last time.
Does it make you feel good
When you’re telling lies
Can you still say it while you look into our eyes
Cos we don’t need you
We’ve heard it for the last time.
Cos you’re always saying something and it never really works
You always do it your way never listening to us
Avoiding all the questions with your clever play on words
You shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it
You said the same the last time.
John was only young when he
Learned about the birds and bees
Or so he thought
His parents told him long ago
‘Bout everything that he should know
And should be taught.
And later when he went to school
He found another set of rules
Which he forgot
It wasn’t what he’d like to hear
And went straight out the other ear
He had his shot.
He was a one can danger man, a liability
Far too free, no attention span, or sensibility
Found out too late
To try to mend his foolish ways
But he had fun at the end of the day.
By the age of seventeen
His record was so far from clean
It turned to rot
His soul was just a barren land
An empty space where once was planned
A beauty spot.
He was a one can danger man, a liability
Far too free, no attention span, or sensibility
Found out too late
To try to mend his foolish ways
But he had fun at the end of the day.
He was a one can danger man, a liability
Far too free, no attention span, or sensibility
Found out too late
To try to mend his foolish ways
He was a one can danger man, a liability
Far too free, no attention span, or sensibility
Found out too late
To try to mend his foolish ways
But he had fun at the end of the day.
Where you gonna be in five years time is a question often asked
But one that you don’t need to know the answer to
It’s the kind of thing that people say to help you find your way
But if you’re not lost then answer it another day.
Cos you still have time, take as long as you need
You don’t need the answers all at once cos they can wait
Just as long as you know there’s something on its way
You can bide your time until you’ve got another move to play
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey.
Some people find that answers a little quicker than the rest
It doesn’t mean it’s gonna be the right ones
It’s better to be late than to be early and be wrong
So bide your time I promise you it won’t be long.
Cos you still have time, take as long as you need
You don’t need the answers all at once cos they can wait
Just as long as you know there’s something on its way
You can bide your time until you’ve got another move to play
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey……..
Cos you still have time, take as long as you need
You don’t need the answers all at once cos they can wait
Just as long as you know there’s something on its way
You can bide your time until you’ve got another move to play
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey…………………………………….

We’re the lucky ones
Without a doubt we’re the lucky ones
Just having fun
Young and free until these days are done.
But I don’t wanna grow up
I just wanna be me for the rest of my life.
So live for today
And know that you’re a lucky one
You can’t regret
The things you haven’t even done
You get so long
Before it catches up on you.
But I don’t wanna grow up
I just wanna be me for the rest of my life.
What you said to me
It doesn’t fit
It sits uncomfortably.
Damage has been done
You said it all
With one quick look at me.
So live for today
And know that you’re a lucky one
You can’t regret
The things you haven’t even done
You get so long
Before it catches up on you.
You only get so long
You only get so long to live
So be glad for what you’ve got
You only get so long
Before the chance is gone
So if you’re feeling strong
Learn to forgive
Love the life you live.
We’re the lucky ones
Without a doubt we’re the lucky ones
Just having fun
Young and free until these days are done.
But I don’t wanna grow up
I just wanna be me for the rest of my life.
So live for today
And know that you’re a lucky one
You can’t regret
The things you haven’t even done
You get so long
Before it catches up on you.
I don’t wanna grow up
I just wanna be me for the rest of my life.
