lyrics

Son, My Son

I went down to the market
to buy whatever I wanted
I told the woman who worked there
I was afraid to leave my home
She said “son, my son, that’s how I feel ev’ry day.”

I got back in my automobile
to fill the tank again
I told the station worker
I was afraid to go downtown
She said “son, my son, that’s how I feel ev’ry day.”

At the demonstration
I faced all the police
They looked afraid behind their masks
I just wanted to tell them
Son, my son, we don’t have to live this way
Son, my son, we don’t have to live this way
Sons and daughters, we don’t have to live this way

I laid my head on a pillow
safe and sound at home
I prayed to God for an answer
I just really wanted an answer
how do we help each other
She said “son, my son, that’s what I ask ev’ry day
Son, my son, that’s what I ask ev’ry day

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
by Richard Thompson

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
