I overheard two mean preachers on the radio. I hope they have peace of mind today.

lyrics

Did Your Mother Teach You That?

I heard your voice on the radio
asking things that you knew-
you said you knew, you thought you knew
the answers to already
How can one man hate so much, hate so much
he brings the weakest of us down to his level?

Did your brother teach you?
Did some other teach you?
You call yourself a preacher
Did your Mother teach you that?

People are born to love one another.
You must have learned.
Where did you learn to be so hateful?
Nobody is born into this world
with hate inside. Where did you learn?
How did you learn to be so angry?

Everyone in this world has to learn to get on
or else live in pain, and fear, and darkness.
When you say those hateful words to someone.
To anyone-
You have decided your own fate will be the same.

Did your Mother teach you that?

I was on tour with Darrin. This is a recording of his set on the last night of the tour. A great set from an excellent songwriter. Tim Easton

Serpent's Tears

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
