Artist picture
Original songs from the mid to late 1970's. My first adventures in songwriting and performing. Good times
It exists therefore it am. They came from inner space and left no turn unstoned. The journey began and nothing was ever the same again (or during). Are you ready to cruise with the Spaceship Vicar?

Story behind the song
Written in the front room at mum's house in Orchard Road by Paul and myself. An epic tale of a cataclysmic struggle.
Lyrics
The Scrap Adrian J Pratt/Paul Maylor 1973 See there on the hill, A little piggy standing still If he's still then he's alive Keeping still's the only way he can survive. He's a little piggy on a plastic stand The sort of little piggy that you find in a band Don't let this piggy lead you astray Becaues this little piggies only plastic anyway. See there on the hill, Terry the Tortoise is feeling ill He's vomiting and coughing like a bat out of hell Surely this tortoise can't be well If he could find a doctor it would do no good Because this tortoise is only made of wood. Pig stares at tortoise with an air of distaste Tortoise maker hasn't carved in tortoise face. See there on the hill, Terry hits piggy on the bill Piggy says 'That's not nice' So the tortoise does it twice. He stabs the pig with a rather sharp blade And conks him on the brain with an enormous spade Pig smacks tortoise on the head So both the animals end up dead.
