She lives out in around a place that's never seen
You chase her up and down the dark streets of your dreams
She's everything that might have been
The girl in a Gene Clark song
She's here and there nowhere and everywhere between
You'll find her somewhere east and west of what she seems
She's every face you might have seen
The girl in a Gene Clark song
You'll make the mistake of thinking she exists
And dream that you can wake her with a kiss
The girl in a Gene Clark song
The girl in a Gene Clark song
So when you find someone you want more than the world
Remember she's beyond the reasons you love her
And watch her step out of a dream
The girl in a Gene Clark song

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
