lyrics

WHY DON’T YOU

I was standing in line behind a guy in a camo shirt and an orange vest
In the grocery store another man came up and said - did you get the big one yet?
He said no man I was out in the woods and a giant buck - walked right in front of me
He didn’t know I was there so I laid down my gun and I let him be

Chorus:
I know it’s in there somewhere
I know you’ve got a heart
I’ve stumbled on you doing things that just tore me apart
I know it’s in there somewhere
I’ve seen what you can do
I’m certain that you can be kind so
Why don’t you

I saw a story on TV
About a man whose little boy came home crying
He said Daddy I brought my little ponies to show and tell
And they laughed at me
They said my shirt looks like a dress, and my hair’s a mess - and only girls like flowers
He told his son we’ll go to school on Monday
And we’ll get it all worked out

(Chorus)

That night the missus asked him how it all went
He said - pretty good I think
I know they’d never seen a guy 6 foot 3 with a wand - wearing pink
All the kids loved my tutu too
And the glitter in my hair
Even little Cody said I like your slippers man
Do you have an extra pair?

(Chorus)

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 6 fans who also own “Why Don't You”

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.
