SING ALONG AT SEVEN
Hi all during this Covid-19 lock down I have to keep practicing and you’ll be getting bored. For a wee bit of fun I thought we could do a sing-a-long, each evening, at 7pm. It will be broadcast from the Pepper Jock facebook page.
Songs for Tuesday 24th March below:

Scottish Boys

“Maggie May”
It’s late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I’m being used
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that’s what really hurt
The morning sun when it’s in your face really shows your age
But that don’t worry me none in my eyes you’re everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn’t need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that’s a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
You lured me away from home ’cause you didn’t want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn’t leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy’s cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin’ hand
Oh Maggie I wish I’d never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I’m as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
Maggie I wish I’d never seen your face
I’ll get on back home one of these days
Scottish Boys
Verse 1
From a council house in Scotland
To the suburbs of Detroit
To a small holding in Australia
To Russian oil we exploit
Thirty years have passed in no time
To make our way we all took flight
But at the Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow
There old friends would reunite
Chorus
Scottish Boys are doing alright
Charge you glass and raise it high
To old friends and to our loved ones
United till the day we die
Verse 2
Corner boys in a Scottish city
Memories we won’t forget
Bloody rascals causing trouble
Many things we still regret
Susan, Ann, Elaine and Mary
Who offered love which we declined
There in our hearts, we raise our glasses
To all the girls we left behind
Chorus
Verse 3
This is such a common story
For the world is our domain
Scottish people made a difference
And for that we’ll drink again
Chorus
Chorus
“Broken Stones”
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Like broken stones – they’re all trying to get home.
Like a loser’s reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone – they’re all trying to get home.
As another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else truly matters – at such a cost?
Like a loser’s reach –
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone – (like broken stones) they’re all trying to get home.
(Yeah, you are)
And another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters – at such a cost?
Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones – they’re all trying to get home.
Like a loser’s reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone – they’re trying to get home.
Trying to get home, trying to get home,
Like broken stones, they’re all trying to get home.
“Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)”
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
[Chorus by pupils from the Fourth Form Music Class Islington Green School, London]
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
