THREE DAYS RUNNING
Words & Music : Iain Whitmore ©2021 Aurora Music

It’s been raining for three days runnin’
River is rising high
I’ve been runnin’ these three days of rainin’
I’m beginnin’ to laugh at the sky

Life is a holiday
And it’s hard for me to understand
Why it should be this way
It’s gettin’ harder to be a softer man

There’s a highway that runs to the city
And a plane to fly me home
All I need is a foot on the highway
What I don’t need is being alone

Life is a lazy day
And it’s hard for me to understand
Why it should be this way
It’s gettin’ harder to be a softer man

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 14 fans who also own “Three Days Running”

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

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 11 fans who also own “Three Days Running”

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
