lyrics
mama, are you listening?
please put your tea towel down
this is the most important thing I’ve ever said
I love you as my mother
I love you as no other
but the pain we cause each other is killing me
can we hereby agree
with love and dignity
from now on my life is fine
and you are free
you know, anytime you come to me with love
my arms will always be open
all the times I lay my head upon your lap
your hand upon my forehead brought such comfort
such treasured memories
as are so many still
but across this kitchen table words are hurting
can we hereby agree
with love and dignity
from now on my life is fine
and you are free
you know, anytime you come to me with love
my arms will always be open
don’t worry about my health or my weight
my body is just fine
don’t worry about what other
people think of me
just laugh about my ways
and be glad that I have faith
and for what time is left
let’s just enjoy each other’s company
let us hereby agree
with love and dignity
from now on my life is fine
and you are free
don’t cry, mama
this is not goodbye
not at all
try, mama
be light, mama
like with your friends, mama
be light with me too
you know, anytime you come to me
with love (or not)
my arms will always always always
my arms will always be open to you
please put your tea towel down
this is the most important thing I’ve ever said
I love you as my mother
I love you as no other
but the pain we cause each other is killing me
can we hereby agree
with love and dignity
from now on my life is fine
and you are free
you know, anytime you come to me with love
my arms will always be open
all the times I lay my head upon your lap
your hand upon my forehead brought such comfort
such treasured memories
as are so many still
but across this kitchen table words are hurting
can we hereby agree
with love and dignity
from now on my life is fine
and you are free
you know, anytime you come to me with love
my arms will always be open
don’t worry about my health or my weight
my body is just fine
don’t worry about what other
people think of me
just laugh about my ways
and be glad that I have faith
and for what time is left
let’s just enjoy each other’s company
let us hereby agree
with love and dignity
from now on my life is fine
and you are free
don’t cry, mama
this is not goodbye
not at all
try, mama
be light, mama
like with your friends, mama
be light with me too
you know, anytime you come to me
with love (or not)
my arms will always always always
my arms will always be open to you

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 5 fans who also own “Mama Hereby”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

words can’t describe how beautiful this album is. it’s one of those few albums where the pure emotions that are impossible to put into words fully transcend the music and put you in a trance for 40-50 minutes. lush, ornate, immaculately preformed and produced

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 5 fans who also own “Mama Hereby”
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.
