lyrics
‘Got a very unusual head
‘Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Cuz he’s soaring through boring predictable games that they play
With the glorious noise that can steal all our sad hearts away
Up through the atmosphere
Very unusual head
‘Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Yeah they’re following, swallowing everything he’s got to say
But he’s wallowing, hollow and barely can get through the day
But he’s coming back again
Yeah he’s rambling, scrambling, getting his ducks in a row
He’s preambling, gambling this time the whole thing will go
Up through the atmosphere
Got a very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
(Play trumpets here)
Everyone sing along
Very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Surely take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
‘Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Cuz he’s soaring through boring predictable games that they play
With the glorious noise that can steal all our sad hearts away
Up through the atmosphere
Very unusual head
‘Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Yeah they’re following, swallowing everything he’s got to say
But he’s wallowing, hollow and barely can get through the day
But he’s coming back again
Yeah he’s rambling, scrambling, getting his ducks in a row
He’s preambling, gambling this time the whole thing will go
Up through the atmosphere
Got a very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
(Play trumpets here)
Everyone sing along
Very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Surely take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 11 fans who also own “A Very Unusual Head”
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.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 11 fans who also own “A Very Unusual Head”
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.
