Forever Never
Will I wake up or will I go on sleeping forever, never knowing what’s real?
Am I dreaming or am I just believing in untruths
with no proof beyond what I feel?
Always praying to who—I don’t know. But onward I row until I die.
Who am I without my story? When there’s no more me will I care why?
Or will I go on sleeping forever, never knowing what’s real?
Always praying to who—we don’t know. But onward we row until we die.
Who are we without our stories? When there’s no more we will we care why?
Or will we go on sleeping forever, never knowing what’s real?
Are we dreaming or are we just believing in untruths
with no proof beyond what we feel?
Will we wake up or will we go on sleeping forever, never knowing what’s real?
Forever never knowing what’s real.

Psychedelia of a darker shade than usual, Francie Moon eschew kaleidoscopic colors for a slow, sludgey trek through the sonic badlands. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2019
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
