My FCP project has narration - I'd like to make the volume and tone consistent so I'd like to make it one audio file (a compound clip)- however the audio clips are scattered throughout the project - some are at the top, some at the bottom. I don't know how to select them without also selected clips that run next to them - it feels impossible - I'm sure I'm unaware of some "weird trick"

Assign Roles to the audio, then you can view the timeline with audio lanes.

You already got a perfect answer from terryb - do follow his recommendation.
I'd just like to add a little reminder about a great feature of FCP that is often neglected: the Timeline Index.
By using it you can do multiple selections using the standard mac techniques (like command-click for noncontiguous selections), plus you can search to narrow it down to the things you want, and more.
So in other circumstances where you might want to do complex searches or selections, remember this nifty feature.
@terryb Thank you - this is a great feature! I've been working on it - but am a bit overwhelmed as the narration runs over layer after layer of additional, atmospheric dialogue making me juggle hundreds of assignments...
Thanks Luis - the command click is actually working - glad to learn - had a feeling it was something simple
