    We used to sing it in assembly at (what is now) Sunnyfields Primary School in the early nineties. That, and When I’m 64, Jetplane - with a hymn always chucked in too like Colours of Day, Whole world in his hands - I think the teachers were maybe a tad chemically enhanced in those days, bizarre looking back on it

    This has to be a reference to the song 'Last film' hasn't it?

    Paul McCartney's brother, Mike, was a member of Scaffold, but used Mcgear as his last name so as not to cash in on the McCartney name. Bit of useless information for you.

    The only thing Shed missed on his piece was that some soon to be famous names played or sang on the record....Elton John, Tim Rice, Jack Bruce and Graham Nash.

    The bloke in the middle obviously looks like Paul Maccas brother lol, the one who sang about Mr Frears, with sticky out ears. :rolleyes:
    And I'm glad somebody mentioned the bald one on the left lol, I just couldn't remember where I'd seen him before.
    Yeah he's John Gorman, who was with Chris Tarrant on the Itv Satdy morning Tiswas. :D
    And I think he was also in the Buzzcocks Id line up once lol.
