Every word straight from the mouth of Mary Winter (but she loved him in the end)

lyrics

Chorus
I'll give it six months,
You've got nothing in common
Or maybe a year, cos you never give in
And when it's all done
And you come running home crying
I'll still be your mother, but I've never liked him

You had a good life, you had all that you wanted
A husband who loved you, so steady and strong
But it wasn't enough, settled down didn't suit you
Seeking adventure, you found it in song.

Chorus

Where did I go wrong? I tried so hard to raise you
To teach you my ways, how to be a good wife
But you never would listen, you always knew better
Now I'll just have to watch as you ruin your life
Chorus

If your father was here he'd be blowing a gasket
And when he was mad who know what he could do
He was wild he was foreign and god knows I loved him
I can still see his smile when I'm looking at you

Chorus

Fast forward in time, nearly thirty years later
I wonder what Mary would make of the scene
For we're still here together, and many years married
Still laughing, still singing, still living the dream

But she gave us six months,
We had nothing in common
Or maybe a year, cos I never give in
And I went home often,
Both laughing and crying
And just as a footnote she really loved him

Bloody Noses EP

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
