lyrics
Jupiter, Jupiter and Mars
Mercury and Earth agree
It’s not what it used to be
Venus told Neptune and the stars
She’s been crying every night
Since she learned poor Plutos’ plight
She said:
We’ve all been friends forever
We’ll never change the way we feel
So strange to hear the clever
Tell Pluto that he wasn’t real
How’d that feel?
He may be a little stupider
But surely you could see
He always tried his best to be
Dignified and heavenly
He’s just a simple planet
Maybe he wasn’t quite as deep
But don’t take our hearts for granted
Don’t let ‘em put our dog to sleep
Little creeps
Saturn told all his little moons
Say a little prayer tonight
They don’t turn out Pluto’s light
Hey!
No no no no no, oh no
What would it lose or gain us
Science is filled with fact and flaw
But your heads are up Uranus
When love’s not greater than the law
Fatal flaw
Yeah
Venetia wished upon a star
Someone would still want to play
And not just chase her dog away
Hey!
No no no no no, oh no
No no no no no no etc, oh no
Jupiter, Jupiter and Mars
Mercury and Earth agree, it’s not what it used to be
Mercury and Earth agree
It’s not what it used to be
Venus told Neptune and the stars
She’s been crying every night
Since she learned poor Plutos’ plight
She said:
We’ve all been friends forever
We’ll never change the way we feel
So strange to hear the clever
Tell Pluto that he wasn’t real
How’d that feel?
He may be a little stupider
But surely you could see
He always tried his best to be
Dignified and heavenly
He’s just a simple planet
Maybe he wasn’t quite as deep
But don’t take our hearts for granted
Don’t let ‘em put our dog to sleep
Little creeps
Saturn told all his little moons
Say a little prayer tonight
They don’t turn out Pluto’s light
Hey!
No no no no no, oh no
What would it lose or gain us
Science is filled with fact and flaw
But your heads are up Uranus
When love’s not greater than the law
Fatal flaw
Yeah
Venetia wished upon a star
Someone would still want to play
And not just chase her dog away
Hey!
No no no no no, oh no
No no no no no no etc, oh no
Jupiter, Jupiter and Mars
Mercury and Earth agree, it’s not what it used to be

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 11 fans who also own “Pluto's Plight”
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 “Pluto's Plight”
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.
