lyrics
I want to rise above the crowd
I want to rise above the scene
I want to rise above this now
This foolish ignorance of dreams
I don’t want to know who I will be
Or if I ever should become
I want to rise above the scene
I want to rise above it all
I don’t want to somebody’s hand
Like it’s a rock firm in the stream
I don’t want tell you that I’ve loved
Until I know what it all means
I need to know what I’m to lose
Before I ever try to hold
I want to rise above your love
I want to rise above it all
But I’ve got dreams so meant for breaking
And no one feels inclined to break my fall
Oh I’ve got kindness for the taking
They took it all
There’s a world dancing before me
But I’ve so little time to hear its call
I want to rise above this feeling
I want to rise above it all
I want to hear Nick, Leonard, Christie
I want to know the things they’ve seen
If the world was like their songs
I could decipher what it means
I want to know just how the time goes
With no bad thoughts caught in between
I want to rise above this world
I want to rise above it all
I want to rise above this world
I want to rise above it all, oh no
I want to rise above this world
I want to rise above and rise above and rise above it all

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

Sierra, your music resonates my soul. The voice of Billie Holiday and the stylings of Django, gritty American songwriter music! Thank you!!! Favorite track = Rocket b_ret93
