Beauty is skin deep
And mine's not even that
You broke through, I couldn't touch you
And you left me shaking on the concrete ground
Its funny how things
Just turn around in one minute
You got what you wanted
But, man, I'm sure there was a hair's breadth in it and
You’re my lidocaine baby
And I, I lied again baby
And Hell, Hell hath no fury
Like me
Cold as stone and
I think I needed that to understand
I fell in feet first
Bloody underwear is in my hands
And he said my pockets
Are lined with deep regrets
Whatever the fashion
For constant angst I haven't learned it yet
You’re my lidocaine baby
And I, I lied again baby
And Hell, Hell hath no fury
Like me
One, two, spread your legs girls
Those dirty little angels
This tense, this numb
And let's forget the alarm bells
My, my lidocaine, my lidocaine
And I, I lied again, I lied again
And Hell, Hell hath no fury
Like me
No matter like me
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
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
