GUEST,stuart swanston Lyr Req: Tommy Flinders/Cinders/school/burning (6) Lyr Req: Tommy Flinders/Cinders/school/burning 14 Mar 06


looking for lyrics of a song sung or written by ewan mcoll or raplh mctell about :-
little tomy flinders/loved to play with cinders/loved the leaves of autumn/the red leaves of autumn/ and the golden grain??/
...hated the school and the rules and railings and the class room /had just one ambition to burn it to the ground.....oh who he laughed as the flames lept through the class room....

last heard on an album with "dirty old town" in the early seventies

a friend who works with runa away kids who sometimes set fire to their schools would like to find a recording or read the lyrics.

best wishes from stuart swanston, edinburgh
