If only I'd realised what cr@p you could get away with when I was trying to write songs back then! Another odd word, but much better music, is 'Scatterlings'.

If/when HWT comes along with his selection, I've never heard of them, and I probably don't need to! OK?

Never noticed either of those but the associates was a great track.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There are several in this verse by Carter USM, and note the Brighton connection:

Moving up on second base
Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
At six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slums
With more aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only
Hold the front page!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Some pecular use of tuppent and root in this song by Prefab Sprout

I's a jealous boy root,
The world should be free,
But don't you go following suit
My heart is aligned
It couldn't be neutral,
I couldn't be that way inclined.
It's hard to defend, ba ba ba, ba, ba ba,
These feelings tuppent up friend.
It's cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba
Its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba,
ba ba
It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]
