lyrics
23 & ME
Outnumbered at nearly every turn
She’s chosen to neither hang nor burn
She’s chosen - to close her eyes
And think of England
We saw her - (23 and me)
And felt her woolen hair
We heard her - (23 and me)
Crying
Tears - fall into her ears
Chorus:
The British are coming (in spite of her)
The British are coming (inside of her)
One if by land - two if by sea
The British are coming (in spite of her)
The Sun - never sets on her
The Moon - pirouettes on her
Her body - is a drum to beat
The shackles - rattle at her feet
Tears fall into her ears
(Chorus)
Tears - fall into her ears
Run - run darling can’t you run?
RUN
Your Bible - tells her from birth
Her joy - - will not be on earth
Damnation is the curse of Ham
Enforcement is the curse of Sam
Tears fall into her ears
Sometimes I’m mistaken for one of them
They tell me they long to return again
My heart shatters finding it’s still too soon
To suffer the dreams of this Octoroon
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
