Oh babe, oh honey I love you so Don’t need no money To let you know Now I leave it to the seasons Let the wind blow, let it snow, let it shine Oh I’ve got a brand new smile Oh Lord, oh darling I need your touch I feel I’m falling I’ve drunk too much Now I’m through with crying Crying is not my style Oh I’ve got a brand new smile Oh I’ve got a brand new smile I don’t want to hear about it You’re saying I don’t love you enough Don’t know how I lived without it And all that crazy stuff Oh babe, oh honey I love you so Don’t need no money To let you know Now I’m through with crying Crying is not my style Oh I’ve got a brand new smile Oh I’ve got a brand new smile Oh I’ve got a brand new smile

See you struggle through your weekdays Working for your living in the world Wish away the week and then Go out dancing and you’re back again You lose so much life like that Wishing all your days were through Living up to the label Living up to the label Living up to the label That’s been stuck on you Can’t go on like this for too much longer Wasting all your time away You’ll wake up and wonder where it went You’ve gotta start living more than one percent You’ve been living by the rules for too long girl Doing what they tell you to Living up to the label Living up to the label Living up to the label That’s been stuck on you You’ve got your number now Who knows your name You’ll only lose yourself If you keep playing the game You lose so much life like that Wishing all your days were through Living up to the label Living up to the label Living up to the label That’s been stuck on you You’ve gotta make your feelings plain Say what’s on your mind Too many nights I know you cry Try to deny all that you feel inside The world’s got no rights on your freedom You can tell them what to do With the label With the label With the label That’s been stuck on you Been stuck on you Been stuck on you

We Dance 04:28
lyrics

What do we do when we get together Finally come out of our caves 99 ways to talk about the weather And wondering if Jesus really saves What do we do when it gets too close We’re too shy to take the chance We dance We dance We dance Strange kind of desperation we call romance Sittin at a party when the drink’s all gone Wondering how to fill up the space Pretty soon you find yourself the one to run And someone who’s got too much time to waste What do we do when it gets too close In this kind of circumstance We dance We dance We dance Strange kind of desperation we call romance Strange kind of desperation we call romance Lady in the corner who’s had too much wine Sign up saying she’s out at lunch I know she’s tryin to give me some kind of sign Pretty soon we’ll come to the crunch What do you do when it gets that close Want to run but she won’t give me a chance We dance We dance We dance Strange kind of desperation we call romance Strange kind of desperation we call romance What do we do when we get together Finally come out of our caves 99 ways to talk about the weather And wondering if Jesus really saves What do we do when it gets too close We’re too shy to take the chance We dance We dance We dance Strange kind of desperation we call romance

Waiting For You 02:43
lyrics

Seems like such a long time Looking back Not one rainy day can make you feel that way for so long Nowhere to belong time Painted all over black Now you tried out something and seen it slowly go wrong We all get to know it We all have our time to do But I can’t stop hating the time I spent waiting for you Seems like just a dream now Fading away slow But one dark night can bring it all back home Just a memory now Refuses to go Harms are creeping up behind me and hitting when I’m sitting alone The light inside me, it shines when you do what you do But I can’t stop hating the time I spent waiting for you I threw away all the time I was given Drifting in a loose way of living All the time I was wasting I could have been tasting your love I’ll never get it back now I’ve thrown too much at the wall I was too slow to know I was going the long way down And it’s a matter of fact now It ever happened at all I’d have never have been winning and I’d be endlessly spinning around You came on my last chance My good luck was way overdue But I can’t stop hating the time I spent waiting for you No I can’t stop hating the time I spent waiting for you No way I stop hating the time I spent waiting for you

Gloryville 02:32
lyrics

The sun shone down on Gloryville Made all the metal shine Paper blew down the avenue And I drew another slug of my apple wine There’s a man selling papers on one leg The other left behind at the war What’s that? That’s just something you talk about While you’re waiting in the hardware store While you’re waiting in the hardware store The moon shone down on Gloryville Gave it such a friendly look Man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do It doesn’t matter about the time it took Doesn’t matter about the waste all the time and the trouble Some you listen to and some you ignore What’s that? That’s just something you talk about While you’re waiting in the hardware store While you’re waiting in the hardware store The wind blew cold through Gloryville Like it tends to do out West Feel it’s cold and getting hold in a dusty old caress Somewhere away the sun’s still shining I’m jumping from an aeroplane door What’s that? That’s just something you talk about While you’re waiting in the hardware store While you’re waiting in the hardware store When the rain came down on Gloryville On the old and undefended Age old story of misguided glory Once again been ended There’s a man lying dead in a foreign world There’s a woman on a kitchen floor When the rain came down on Gloryville Flattening the hardware store When the rain came down on Gloryville Flattening the hardware store

Someone to Sing Me a Song 02:37

Hear the streetlights humming Hear the sirens crying Feel the morning coming Feel the night time dying No one’s dancing anymore All is quiet it’s the end of the war All the people celebrating Have packed it up and gone And I want someone to sing me a song I want someone to sing me a song In my ears the music’s ringing Don’t wanna let the feeling go No one’s laughing no one’s singing Home’s the only place to go No one’s making any moves Nothing left to try for nothing to prove I always try to do the right thing Always ends up wrong And I want someone to sing me a song I want someone to sing me a song Sing me something wild Sing me something gentle Wanna let my feelings go Play it loud play it low Play it soft or sentimental I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care Soon the church bell will be chiming See the dawn rise all around me Ring a ding ding ding ding ding Once again the morning’s found me Sitting in a doorway feeling lost and alone Last night the world was laughing now you hear it moan I’m looking for a place to hide Somewhere to belong And I want someone to sing me a song I want someone to sing me a song I want someone to sing me a song

See you got your curtains closed See you got the blind pulled down See you got your smile on straight You’re pretending Putting on your hurting clothes No one’s gonna mess you round No one’s gonna catch Your straight back bending Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love See you’ve got the front door tight See you’ve got the catches up See you’ve got the ‘full’ sign on You’re a liar A man alone is always right Doesn’t need the loving cup If someone reaches out You cut the wire Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love Never gonna let it roll Never gonna let it go You’ve got a safety switch On your senses Never gonna lose control Never gonna let it go No one’s gonna get behind Your defences Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love And I know just how you’re feeling I can see behind your eyes There’s some things you have to deal in That you just can’t organise And you’ll only end up speechless If you play the silent game And I know just how you’re feeling Yeah I know just how you’re feeling Cos I used to feel the same Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love Too scared to love

Sitting all alone and wondering why The world just seems to pass you by You tell me that you need someone To bring back all the good times gone Turn on all your lights and set you free Baby please don’t leave it all to me I can’t stop the rain from falling I can’t make the sun shine Can’t stop the blues from falling down on you Tell me you’re the lonely one Oh babe you’re not the only one Things that hurt you babe they hurt me too I’ve been sitting all this time Trying to put some reasons to your rhyme You’re never gonna help yourself If you depend on someone else To come along and wake you with a kiss That’s one more boat you’re bound to miss I can’t stop the rain from falling I can’t make the sun shine Can’t stop the blues from falling down on you Tell me you’re the lonely one Oh babe you’re not the only one Things that hurt you babe they hurt me too Tell me that you want somebody strong If you mean me, you got it wrong But baby if you think you can Go grab yourself a superman Who’ll make you feel the way you feel you should Baby there ain’t nobody that good I can’t stop the rain from falling I can’t make the sun shine Can’t stop the blues from falling down on you Tell me you’re the lonely one Oh babe you’re not the only one Things that hurt you babe they hurt me too

I put a note out for the milkman And I lock the door up tight Check on all the windows And I turn out all the lights And echoes of our history Cut through the midnight hour We’re all buying wallpaper now All the friends I had my times with The ones who shared my dreams Are up to their necks in mortgage cheques And company pension schemes Have we had all our freedom Or just the freedom we’re allowed We’re all buying wallpaper now I remember all those crazy days Of bullets bells and beads Somehow time has changed our ways And the nature of our needs And all that peace and love stuff All turned upside down somehow We’re all buying wallpaper now And everybody’s closing in And everybody’s buying One more picture for the wall To make it right And all the neighbours nosing in And all the kids are crying And Johnny Cool is staying home tonight To put a note out for the milkman And to lock the door up tight Check on all the windows And turn out all the lights Will the man who made it through all this Stand up and take a bow We’re all buying wallpaper now We’re all buying wallpaper now

about

Pete Scott was a singer-songwriter from Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

In the 1970s, Pete released two much-loved albums: Don’t Panic and Jimmy the Moonlight. His records were played on the John Peel show and he toured extensively all around the UK, appearing with the likes of Lindisfarne and performing on the Jake Thackray TV show.

Pete’s record label stopped trading in the early 1980s and the rights to his records were later sold to a third party against his wishes. The landscape of the music industry at the time meant that there was very little an independent artist could do to record, release, or promote their own music without the backing of a record label. Fortunately for Pete, his good friend Ken McKenzie owned a recording studio in Newcastle, which meant he was able to record all of his songs from this era, even though at the time he had no way of releasing them. Eventually both Pete and Ken forgot all about these recordings.

Later in his career, with the arrival of the internet and developments in recording technology, Pete was able to record and release his own material without needing a record deal, allowing him to combine his unique blend of the hilarious and the heartbreaking on his albums Why Sing Goodbye Songs and Songs to Sing & Jokes to Tell.

Pete passed away in early 2023 at the age of 74. After his death, his daughter discovered a treasure-trove of previously unreleased recordings in the loft. With the help of Ken McKenzie, these recordings are now being digitised and Pete’s family are working to make it all available to his loyal fans both locally and around the world. The project of making this music available starts with the release of the album Brand New Smile.

Brand New Smile features 11 previously unreleased songs dating from the late 1970s, as well as an early recording of Wallpaper, one of Pete’s most popular songs. Pete recorded these tracks in what Ken assures us were “coffee-fuelled” late-night recording sessions.

Pete Scott may be gone but his music lives on. With your support, the discovery of these recordings means that we can keep releasing new material for a long time to come.
