A Thousand Scouts

Written by Quick step minded at 15:14 30/12-2015

  Making my way to the hire-list
  Watching fast
  Riders pass
  And I'm scout bound
  
  Staring blankly ahead
  Just making my way
  Making a way
  Through the crowd
  
  And I need you
  And I scout you
  And now I wonder....
  
  If I should want you
  Into my team
  Do you think time
  Will give me advice
  'Cause you know I'd make
  A thousand scouts
  If I could
  Just find you
  Tonight
  
  It's always times like these
  When I think of you
  And I wonder
  If you ever
  Think of me
  
  'Cause everything's so wrong
  And I don't belong
  Being in the
  OCM top-10
  
  'Cause I need you
  And I scout you
  And now I wonder....
  
  If I should welcome
  you, Into my team
  Do you think time
  Will give me advice
  'Cause you know I'd make
  A thousand scouts
  Before I find you
  
  My superstar
  
  
  ------------------------------
  A Norwegian birdie whispered in my ear that today I reached the milestone of having scouted a 1000 times, being the first team in OCM who 'achieved' this. And I can add I did that without any form of cheating whatsoever. Not sure I should be proud or ashamed I spent 4 million on scouting, but oh well, it's too late now!

  scouting is one of the best pieces of this game - I am an addict so I may join the 1000 club soon :-)

nonnies at 22:14 4/1-2016
  I'm also in the 1000 club now , maybe one or 2 short

Schiavi di Don at 01:15 31/12-2015
  Best piece of OCM converted lyrics ever :)
  Still, you should know Finz is our superstar, so 4 thousand scouts is a bit of a waste


Manisaspor at 16:09 30/12-2015
  4 million on scouting, the real q. is how many of them were good talents? (good=d1 captain) and do you have a record of them somewhere? :))

NECFTW at 15:54 30/12-2015
  pfff, and I thought I wasted a lot of money on scouting.
  
  Think I'm at 1,2/1,3 million.
