lyrics
Not the End
It's not the end of the world
But it's the start of something new
Thank God it's not all up to me
But there's something you could do
If you wanted to
You could start off with a smile when you wanna hurt somebody
Then wait a little while
Show some faith show some style
And you just might save a whale
My precious little child
Trust me now
It's not the end of the world
It's just the start of something new
This place could use a lotta love
There must be something we could do
If we wanted to
If we could start with some restraint instead of yelling' at each other
There's a picture we could paint
Of a universal truce led by angels running loose
With the wisdom of the saints
Trust me now
It's not the end of the world
There's nothing to like about fear
Nothing to fear about love
Someday you will be a god
The day you learn how to forgive
And the angels will adore you
Because you live and let live
Like they want you to
Trust me now
It's not the end of the world
Trust me now
It's not the end of the world
Trust me now
It's not the end of the world
Trust me now

Not the End: Composed, performed, recorded, and mixed by RF. Backing vocals by Bee Haskins (save a whale!) and Chris Arduser (he played drums, too.) Bass by Bob Nyswonger. Matt Hueneman recorded the drums.
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
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
The Australian jangle-poppers venture further into dreampop territory on their verdant new single, with summery, shimmering results. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2019
Rising UK trio FES balance math rock's instrumental mischief with pop punk's anthemic sweetness for a distinctive, endearing sound. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2022
