on the scaffold

The three of them, admittedly a little older but hopefully no wiser, were in good form as we sat on a sofa and chatted about the project.
Roger McGough, who was only in the city last month for the Liverpool Saga reading at St George's Hall, clutched a hand-written copy of his re-worked lyrics to The Lightning Seeds' Three Lions - now entitled Three Shirts on a Line (Everton (McGough), Liverpool (Gorman) and Tranmere (McCartney)) and with the chorus "it's coming home, culture's coming home".
There were jests about the songs they could have chosen. Gorman had a fancy to do a Scaffold version of Lady Madonna, or You'll Never Walk Alone. I suspect Evertonian McGough and Rovers fan McCartney would have been non too chuffed.
There was also speculation about who might record the Scaffold's number one Lily the Pink.
McGough hoped it might be The Zutons.
Gorman said he thought Ringo should do it.
Mike McCartney, who had been in the studio, joined us to talk about the old days and about the Number One Project concert at the ECHO Arena on January 19.
He described how the band took part in the Royal Albert Hall's centenary concert almost 40 years ago which is when they saw their first big screen which now seem to have become ubiquitous at major gigs.
McCartney also revealed how it was the first time they had been in a car with electric windows - George Harrison's to be exact.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, and a lot of cars with electric windows have rolled off the production line.
And here we are on the brink of 2008, sitting in a suburban studios with a poet, a producer and a photographer, a blue, a red and a white.
