I've always had a soft spot for Thousands Are Sailing, Lorelei, and London You're a Lady.

Thousands are Sailing is just such a lovely song of the diaspora. It's not a cry-in-your-beer "I miss the auld country" song, nor is it a "Lumps o' gold in Cali-forn-i-aye" song. It's just a really nice song about the hopes, dreams, and loss of emigrants everywhere.

Lorelei just evokes wonderful imagery and lore. A broken hearted lover wishing for release.

London You're a Lady is a beautiful serenade of a city. I can't recall another song that so nicely evokes the soul of a city in so romantic a way; a wilted flower, still filled with beauty but carrying the scars of a life long lived. Just poetry.

If I'm in the mood, almost any of them can, with tears of sorrow or of joy.
"Kitty" and "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" are great tearjerkers to end the first two albums.
"Thousands Are Sailing", and much though I love Shane's vocals the live Philip Chevron version especially.
"The Broad Majestic Shannon", "The Old Main Drag".
And Andrew Ranken's "Four O'Clock In The Morning" is devastating.

Eric Fish / Subway to Sally - Abendland. Horribly quiet and simple, yet very "effective" song about a father that abuses his daughter, though it is never really spoken out clear. Thank god he stopped playing it live.
