Richard Thompson Live From Austin Tx Dvd

Well there's a house in an alley In the squats and low-rise Of a town with no future But that's where my future lies It's a secret, but no secret It

Oh the last bus has gone Or maybe I'm wrong It just doesn't exist And the words that flew Between me and you I must be crossed off your list So I'm walking

who needs me out there She's kind and tender and one day I'll find her I swear So set me free while I've still got time Don't try to hide your shame, dear, from

You and I, tempted by the promise of a different life Time has fled, there's a constant battle running through my head I don't know what to do...'cos

Well we were heroes then, and the girls were all pretty And a uniform was a lucky charm, bought you the key to the city We used to dance the whole night

This time you hurt me You really did it this time you did Did you count your fingers after shaking my hand God forbid Riff raff crawling from the slums

me up if you want to come slumming Some say you're a rattlesnake in the grass But I say the sun shines out of your arse So it's no hard feelings, live and let live

Did you call my name? Did you call my name in the night? In the whispers and sighs, in the whispers and sighs of the night Ah ghosts in the wind, eh
