    The romantic vision of the Scottish clans is questioned. There were deals done for profit then wraped in the flag of freedom and family.

    Story Behind the Song
    a little am riff, the idea, the craw, a kid
    caught up in the need to fight.

    Lyrics
    Sweet 18
    off in to battle
    he joined the line
    as they cleared the glen
    Sweet 18
    off in to battle
    he crossed the burn
    and he joined the men

    As the Craw sat high on the dyke
    As the gale of wind blew all night
    As the hag with the second sight
    Said its not right
    its not right
    its not right

    Word came down
    from the chieftains table
    100 young men should join the cause
    they should fight for family
    they should fight for freedom
    they should fight for his share
    of the big reward

    As the Craw sat high on the dyke
    As the gale of wind blew all night
    As the hag with the second sight
    Said its not right
    its not right
    its not right

    Word was slow
    but we heard there had been slaughter
    weeping and wailing
    filled the glen
    and in the funeral fire
    that lit the night
    I saw sweet 18 once again

    As the craw sat high on the dyke
    as the gale of wing blew all night
    as the hag with the second sight
    said its not right
    its not right
    its not right
    its not right
    its not right
    its not right
