lyrics
Come Home Baby
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me forlorn
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me too long
Everything’s peach when you are around
My ego gets stroked I feel safe and sound
The taste of my tea’s much sweeter and wetter
The sound of your voice just makes me feel better
Since you’ve been gone I’ve been tossing & turning
Sleepless less nights where my heart keeps yearning
You said you’d be away for the only one day only
But even a days way too long
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me forlorn
Come home baby come
Please don’t leave me too long

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce

What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
Anything that helps is the least I can do, missed dearly. Joe Zux

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
