What you do happens to you. What you do happens to you.
It’s so simple, it’s so true. What you do happens to you.
So maybe you were having fun but what you did really hurt someone.
What you do happens to you.
You treated me so selfishly, now the pain won’t let me be.
What you do happens to you. It’s the truth.
The Alpha and Omega: your face is in the mirror.
Could they make it any clearer?
A hundred billion ways to live but nothing works till we forgive.
What you do happens to you.

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
