Scattered Lyrics - Kinks

This song is dedicated to the memory of 

Annie Florence Davies and Carol Bryans. 

Like a seed that is sewn 

All the children are scattered 

By a breeze that is blown 

Now the crops are all scattered 

We are torn, we are shattered 

Now some of us are barmy and battered 

And the fields where we gathered 

Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters 

Through it all we were scattered

NEW SONG: ASHLEY O (Miley Cyrus) - On A Roll​ - LYRICS 

To the fields we are scattered 

From the day we are born 

To grow wild and sleep rough 

Till from the earth we are torn 

And a soul that is free 

Can live on eternally 

And the spirit can live on 

Though it's scattered in the world beyond 

And I've been out of my mind 

Ever since she's been gone 

I look around that empty room 

No sight nor sound 

She's left so soon 

She's out of view 

But the I find 

Those scattered clues she left behind 

A photograph with a smiling face 

A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace 

A coffee cup with her lipstick stains 

I guess I'll never see her again 

Photos 

Now my life is all scattered 

Ever since she's been gone 

I feel older, I feel fatter 

I feel the blues coming on 

We get bruised 

We get battered 

But we'll pick up the pieces that scattered 

And with emotional glue 

We're gonna stick together, body and mind 

Ever since she went away 

I've been alone to contemplate 

Time and space and why world's move 

While sitting in my solitude 

I've watched the stars and wondered why 

They're scattered up there in the sky 

And is she up there out of view 

On some higher platitude 

I wish I knew 

Wish I could prove 

The reason why this life on earth 

Is scattered like the universe 

I'm scattered here and scattered there 

Bits of me scattered everywhere 

To the fields we are scattered 

Then from the dust we are born 

We survive somewhat battered 

To a new life, a new dawn 

IN the end what will it matter 

There'll only be my ashes to scatter 

And all the logical answers 

To a worrying mind 

Will be scattered in time 

Beaten and battered 

To the earth you are scattered 

You're going home so what does it matter 

To an atomic mind 

Scattered here while you travel time
