lyrics
Heart of Nat Turner
I am reading the confessions of a man driven mad by the chains And the whip upon his back
I look up at once to see the angry sons of those he claimed
In their January march to the attack
Let not anger overtake me as I watch their spirits soar
On the heady incense of rage
Let not visions fill my head - of dancing in the fields
As those sins come a’calling for their wage
Chorus:
Don’t let me feel the heart of Nat Turner
Beating in my chest
Beating in my chest
Don’t let me feel his troubled voice calling me from rest
Me from rest
Calling me from my rest
I am trying to be kind
To calm this beast
I am hoping with reason to respond
If I allow myself
To enjoy the feast
I may never return from beyond
As you wail about the insults to your rights
As you’re crying stop the steal
Don’t tread on me
I would like to submit for your
Consideration
It was you who denied him liberty
(Chorus x2)
You make me feel
Don’t make me feel
You make me feel like a Nat Turner woman
Don’t make me feel the heart of Nat Turner beating in my chest
Beating in my chest

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
