Songs
Kris Drever is an award-winning songwriter and self taught master guitarist.
The folk tradition is built upon the sharing of music, songs and stories.
It is important to Kris that this is continued, and so here you’ll find the lyrics (and in some cases a “How To Play” video) for Kris’s songs.
In the dropdown menu, you can filter songs by album and/or band (e.g. Kris Drever/Lau).
Those with an asterisk * include a “How To Play” video.

Scatterseed
Spin me round tiny time machine,
They used to call you Lions tooth or windblow,
They used to call you milkwitch or parachute,
They used to call you evening glow
Scatterseed, Scatterseed, the fallen star of the football field,
Let new names take, let them thrive and grow,
Dazzle me you little sun of the grass,
I hear you roaring, death to lawn perfection,
The timepiece no longer known as.
Scatterseed, Scatterseed, the fallen star of the football field,
Scatterseed, Scatterseed, I’d never call you ‘just a weed’.
