Scatter Me

Scatter me far and wide, up in the hills where we walked
Although the wind may blow cruelly, scatter me my one and only
Scatter me where we live under your favorite rose
Although the blossom is falling, scatter me on one hazy morning

Oh scatter me once, scatter me twice
Oh scatter me fondly like wedding bell rice
Then live on, bang a gong, sing a song for the land of the living

One day real soon I'll be a particle just floating
Maybe by chance I'll fly and land beneath your feet

Scatter me down the lane under a mackeral sky
November leaves will be falling, scatter me when crows are squawking
Scatter me all alone, down at the secret place
Once there was made these 3 wishes, dandelions blown with 3 kisses

Oh scatter me once, scatter me twice
Scatter me sweetly in wedding gown whites
Then live on bang a gong sing a song for the land of the living

And if one day it cuts up rough I'm at your window
Be careful where you tread it might be me swept in

Scatter me...... Scatter me......

Oh scatter me once, scatter me twice
Oh scatter me fondly like wedding bell rice
Then live on, bang a gong, sing a song for the land of the living

Oh scatter me once, scatter me twice
Scatter me sweetly in wedding gown whites
Then live on, bang a gong, sing a song for the land of the living

Greatness (The Aspiration Song)

Greatness
Is where I wanna be

Overwhelming greatness
Is where I wanna be
Make my daddy proud of me
Hope my mamma lives to see
My greatness
Like Churchill
Hitchcock

Greatness
That's where I wanna be
Greatness

When I'm sold a lemon
I'll just make lemonade
Show my daddy I'm no dope
As he waves me down the road
To greatness
Like Spielberg
Gershwin

Greatness
That's where I wanna be
Greatness
Now come on

I talk all day of greatness
And people get so tired
It's old fashion to aspire
But I won't wallow in the mire
It's greatness
Like McCartney
That's where I wanna be

Greatness
That's where I wanna be
Greatness
Greatness
That's where I wanna be
Make my daddy proud of me
Hope my mamma lives to see
My greatness
Greatness
Now come on
Make my daddy proud of me
Hope my mamma lives to see
Greatness
Now come on
Greatness
Where I wanna be
Just you wait

Kenny

Monkey Bars - Swing and slide
Goalpost Jerseys - Picking up sides
Kenny played where the grass had died
Rotten council

He learnt his skill on the compact mud
The talent scout gave him the nod
Now the stingers grow where Kenny was God
Go Kenny

Let’s go down where the dream is made
All over England
Going, going, going
Let’s go where he made his name
All over England

The tree is shook and the conkers fall
Follow the echoes on the garage wall
Now bungalows will settle the score
Rotten council

The newts and tadpoles under rocks
The kids in streams with the jam jar pots
See the wonder of allotment plots
Pick a broad bean

Let’s go down where the dream is made
All over England
Going, going, going
Let’s go where he made his name
All over England

Grinning Mayors in local papers
Shaking hands with business leaders
The Tench and the Carp are bottom feeders
In Milton Keynes
They planned until they burst
In Coventry
The Germans got there first
Reading, Swindon, Temple Meads
The lungs are knackered but the teeth are clean

*Let’s go down where the dream is made
Monkey Bars - Swing and slide
Let’s go where he made his name
Goalpost Jerseys - Picking up sides
Let’s go down where the dream is made
All over England
Going, going, going
Let’s go where he made his name
Monkey Bars - Swing and slide
Let’s go down where the dream is made
Goalpost Jerseys - Picking up sides
Let’s go where he made his name
All over England
Going, going, going

(*Repeat and fade vocal)

Comrades of Pop

It's the guy that writes the hits
That gets the money
In this funny old world of pop

The bassist and the drummer might be lucky
They never seem to get a lot

You start out high school buddies
And swear allegiance for all time
But when the checks come rolling in
It's cash or I resign

But the duffest tune a band can play
And even the nightingales despair
It's the sound of a lawyers doorbell
That rings in Berkeley Square
Ring out

High school buddies
Allegiance for all time

Comrades of pop turn away
In love and war all is fair
A far worse fate awaits you
On carpets made from human hair

Good Night
