The things prepared the way, the way was never found
The things filled up the day, the way went underground
Cuz there was so much noise, you couldn’t hear a sound
Look around, Look around, Look around round round
Look around, Look around, Look around
The Queen was misinformed about the style of suit
They said that all the clouds would beneath the boots
So when it came to town, they thought it was a hoot
They turned around, turned around, turned around round round
They turned around, turned around, they turned around
I’m dreamin’ of a day, I’m dreamin’ of a time
‘Cause there’s this better world keeps screwing with my mind
I tried to shake it loose, you know it causes so much pain
The thought that it might come if we just try again
Whoa, Whoa, etc
I’m dreamin’ of a day, I’m dreamin’ of a time
‘Cause there’s this better world keep screwing up my mind
I tried to shake it loose, you know it causes so much pain
The thought that it might come if we just try again
The things prepared the way, the way was never found
We built a flying ship that got stuck on the ground
Let’s start it up again, who knows what might be found
We’ll look around, look around, look around round round
We’ll look around, look around, look around (We’ll look around yeah)
Look around, look around, look around
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
