She Said 03:14
lyrics
She said she'd never been out of England. She said she'd never been abroad, She said she couldn't see the point. All that money on a destination When there ain't no place like home. . . She said. . . She said she did't need no holiday prize, Two weeks in a villa in Rome, All that money to be continental When there ain't no place like home. . . She said. . . Where her heart belongs, She can read about the world, Underground, in her hideaway. She said she'd never been out of England. She said the offers she'd had, Some good, none of them bad, But a team of wild horses couldn't drag her away, 'Cos there ain't no place like home, There ain't no place like. . . She said she'd never been out of England. She said she'd never been abroad, She said she couldn't see the point. All that money to be continental When there ain't no place like home, she said There ain't no place like home. . Where her heart belongs, She can read about the world, Underground, in her hideaway. She said she'd never been out of England.

Nine Times Out Of Ten 03:49
lyrics
Feeling like a king, doing it solo, But under everything there’s a romance, With some Katie or Clara, Jenny or Sarah, One to make you think, The one you remember got away… 9 times out of 10 I would have had that one, 9 times out of 10 I would have had that girl, But I let her slip away… Never settled down, never got caught up, Nothing in your mind ever concerned romance, All the loving and leaving, Ducking and weaving, Then you meet the one who throws the world Back in your face… Ah 9 times out of 10 I would have had that one If I had it again… 9 times out of 10 I would have had that one, 9 times out of 10 I would have had that girl, But I let her slip away… 9 times out of 10, 9 times… 9 times out of 10, 9 times… 9 times out of 10 I would have had that one…

Famous Last Words 02:52
lyrics
You think you've got it under control, and you say so famous last words. Your life is full of rich and many colours of the rainbow, famous last words. Your partner is perfection and will remain so. Oh no, famous last words. Oh no, famous last words. You're sittin' on top of the world and wanna stay there, famous last words. And you and her have made a name and fortune together, famous last words. You thought that your lives would be like that forever, but you were wrong. Oh no, famous last words. Oh no, famous last words. Famous last words. Something you can recognize, now you're looking through different eyes. And that just made you realize what a fool you were to be surprised All those famous last words. All those famous last words. All those famous last words. All those famous last words.

Where I Am Tonight 04:19
lyrics
She tells you your face doesn't fit. And there will be no terms. She's making the most out of it. Ain't it great, love burns? Privately falling to bits You hang around shattered. . . Your friends have all scattered. If you had to lose your little girl, You'd know where I am tonight. You watched without waving goodbye, Without wishing returns. Bitter and wondering why, Ain't it great, love burns? The lovin's gone out of her eyes, You're on the ropes, shattered, Nothing else matters. If you had to lose your little girl, You'd know where I am tonight. You spend a lot of time walking around Sleepless nights long and down, When love turns and bites, And you think about what you lost. . . And what it's gonna cost. . . Nobody's counting on you. . . If you had to lose your little girl, You'd know where I am tonight. . . Where am I tonight ?

Down at the Kudu 03:08
lyrics
The silver tongue in me unlocks the treasure, It is a part of me… You need defences, when you are that Good looking, you need Karate. What are the chances? What are the odds? If I put my money on the blonde… Down at the "Kudu" Let’s see the wine flow Down at the "Kudu" I wanna see the bodies swayin’ To and fro…"Kudu"…."Kudu"… All of the members are music and movie People, and it’s exclusive, It takes some time to be part of this Menagerie, and it’s expensive… What are the chances? What are odds? I’ve still got my money on the blonde! Down at the "Kudu" Let’s see the wine flow…? Down at the "Kudu" I wanna see the bodies swayin’ To and fro… Down at the "Kudu" Down at the "Kudu"…

about

Andy Scott and Chris met up at Shepperton Studios when Andy was filming his band Sweet, and Chris was doing a video with The Heroes. At a lunch break Andy drove Chris and a couple of the band members to the local pub in his Roller, Chris in the front, the others swaying side to side in the back! Contact! Andy and Chris were both managed by David Walker (Handle Artists, Mayfair ~ posh address ~ funky outfit ). David put the two of them together to write songs, good move David! These are a few of the as-yet unpublished results.

". . . the lady on the cover is my Mother, Irene Bradford, taken at a cocktail party in Iraq late 50s. I was there, six years old, playing 'round the back with my mates. . throwing stones at the camels under an Arab moon. . ." ~ Chris Bradford
