lyrics

We Ain’t Never Going Back

The status quo, Latin for slavery
Jim Crow redux, back to the way it was
Tear gas and bullets no match for our bravery
We're gonna leave that legacy in the dust

We ain’t never going back

No more, "She didn’t mean it that way."
"He should have kept both hands on the wheel."
"Why don't you just obey, do what the cops say?"
Don’t talk, don’t think, don’t fight, don’t feel

We ain’t never going back

If I have to choose one favorite song, right now it's Resolution. The story hit home with me. The performance tells the truth, like the entire record. OK, but Rise is fucking awesome. Cash has a deep southern gospel blues groove she totally claims. Damn. So good... ya, don't be making me choose... thisisheavyrotation

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 5 fans who also own “We Ain't Never Going Back”

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

This album is both oral history and dreaming for the future. I listen to it when I need to be emotionally moved. ejp1216
