Rand, Rand, you don't understand, I can't shake your hand, it ain’t cool. Rand, Rand, you don’t see the plan. You can’t keep hanging out at the pool. Rand, Rand, that’s no way to go. You think you're jeopardizing yourself. Rand, Rand, in fact, you don’t know. You're jeopardizing everyone else. Rand, Rand, you don't understand, we're quarantined and watching the news. Rand, Rand, we're changing our plans And won’t be on the holiday cruise. We're all wearing masks and we're putting off tasks that could cause us to congregate now. Crowds'll spread germs and we must come to terms with whatever these times won’t allow. Rand. Rand, you don't understand. We're shutting down the shops and the schools. Rand, Rand, it’s time you began to pick up on the new book of rules. Rand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (c) S.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 12 fans who also own “"Rand" (Pandemic Song)”

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

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 10 fans who also own “"Rand" (Pandemic Song)”

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. yellowcakeuf6
