I will worry when you cross the street
When you stumble just to find your feet
Watch in wonder as you take your seat
On the fairground ride for grown-ups
And if you’re thinking that the safety belt
Isn’t for you, but for someone else,
Who am I to make my presence felt
When you’ve got the whole thing sewn up?
I just hope you understand that
Life won't always go to plan and
We can keep your bedroom just the way it is
There’ll be love with no condition
There’ll be space for you to rest
There’ll be food upon the table and a lining in the nest
If you want to come home
Come home – come home – come home
Even if the hour is late don’t you hesitate
Come home
When the world says "No, you can't do that"
And you're wond'rin' if you're where it's at
Tries to tell you to wear a diff'rent hat
You say you like the one you're wearin'
So when it comes to push and shove you
Just remember that we love you
And we'll keep your bedroom just the way it is
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
