Richard Thompson - Survivor

Copied!

Oh you've been through some battles
I can see by the pain in your eyes
As you look off into the distance
That far away sign

They could have destroyed you
But somehow you came through it all
Beat up, combusted
But better from learning to fall

So here's to another survivor
Your troubles are distant like me
I've been waiting my whole life to love you
I'll treat you as fine as can be

There's a lot to come knocking
Is that why you're looking at all
You're tired of the bullshit
You can't take the lies anymore

It's there on their faces
The words don't impress you so much
You spent your life half as a doormat
Half as a crutch

So here's to another survivor
Your troubles are distant like me
I've been waiting my whole life to love you
I'll treat you as fine as can be

Now let's lean on each other
It's quicker to get down the road
We both are less likely to stumble
By sharing the load

And here's to another survivor
Your troubles are distant like me
I've been waiting my whole life to love you
And I'll treat you as fine as can be
And I'll treat you as fine as can be

Music critic Neil McCormick described Thompson as “a versatile virtuoso guitarist and a sharp observational singer-songwriter whose work burns with intelligence and dark emotion”.
After succes with his former folk-rock band Fairport Convention, he first made criticly acclaimed albums with his wife Linda Thompson. After there divorce he made about 18 solo albums, as well as making it a habit to publiss live performances of his shows regularly. This was a reaction to his fan base, who made many illegal recordings of his concerts. By publishing them himself, he could maintain some quality of recording and profit from the material. This way, a large proportion of his work is available in live recordings, showing his strenght as a performer of his work, both solo and with band (a selection of wich is available on spotify).
