lyrics
Music and lyrics by Emily Barker
(Normal Music/Domino Publishing)
There’s a blood moon coming
The fourth in half a year
It’s the shattering of sunlight
Through the earth’s atmosphere
But it feels more like an omen
Planes circle above the roof
An orbiting of prophecy
Eclipsing what I knew
September you have caught me
Sleepless in a hotel room
Far away from where he lays
Breathing by my side
Don't give me signs that I should run
Blood moon, give me signs that I should stay
The red-eyed travellers wander
The labyrinth of corridors
They find a room and disappear
Like secrets behind closed doors
And our words in folds of linen
I can’t rest upon them now
There’s far too much gravity
Trying to pull me down
September you have caught me
Sleepless in a hotel room
Far away from where he lays
Breathing by my side
Don't give me signs that I should run
Blood moon, give me signs that I should stay
Bible on the nightstand
Did you read the Book of Joel?
At 4am the skies will darken
Set your clock and get your clothes
There’s a blood moon coming
The fourth in half a year
It’s the shattering of sunlight
Through the earth’s atmosphere

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 9 fans who also own “Precious Memories”
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.
