If you live you’re gonna suffer.
Stick with me and you won’t cry alone.
If you breathe you’re gonna suffer.
If you see you’re gonna suffer.
If you feel you’re gonna suffer.
Stick with me and you won’t cry alone.
Waste your life avoiding sorrow—might as well be dead.
Pain will always teach us something—get it through your head.
If you live you’re gonna suffer.
Stick with me and you won’t cry alone.
Fear and love are all we know, they’re never far apart.
They tie us up, they don’t let go, they both can break your heart.
If you live, breathe, see, feel – you’re gonna suffer.
Stick with me and you won’t cry alone.

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
