Lay It On Me Baby

Lay it on me, baby
Lay it on me ‘til it gets right under my skin
And the merry mood I’m in
Makes way for love
I’m walking these streets with a skip in my step
My hat’s on the side of my head
All down to you I’m acting this way
Just like a fish in a babbling brook
I’m nibbling at your hook
Don’t let me be the one that got away
Because you do something fundamental to me
That I can almost taste
When I get with it there’s not a minute I wanna waste
Lay it on me, baby
Lay it on me ‘til the room begins to spin
And the merry mood I’m in
Makes way for love
You can’t buy a day this sunny
Not for a tower of folding money
I dare a cloud to rain on this parade
Because bells start ringing and bluebirds singing
And I stride the milky way
Everytime you give me the sign and look that way
Lay it on me, baby
Lay it on me ‘til it gets right under my skin
And the merry mood I’m in
Makes way for love
Lay it, lay it on me, baby
Lay it on me ‘til the room begins to spin
And the merry mood I’m in
Makes way for love

Don't Be Nice to Me

Don’t be nice to me
I’m undeserving of your kind attention
Don’t be nice to me
Better you pass me by
I just put paid to the chance of love in a million
And if you’re nice to me you’ll only have me crying
Don’t be nice to me
Thank you for the invitation
Don’t be nice to me
Sorry I can’t stay
When I find a rock big enough for me to crawl under
I’m gonna hang a sign outside to the world: “stay away”
Don’t be nice to me
If only life could be
Like a walk in the park
To the trill of a lark on the wing on high
Don’t be nice to me
‘Cause I can’t guarantee
That what you’ll find
Won’t blow your mind
If you’re too kind
Don’t be nice to me
Yes, I need a ride to the station
Don’t be nice to me
But I’d rather walk in the rain, yeah
Now I know I’m acting like a big galoot
And it’ll all work out in time
But if you’re nice to me
Get ready to see me cry
Cry, cry
Cry and cry
Cry, baby
Don’t be nice to me

Here Comes That Feeling

Here comes that feeling again, and it ain't right
That lonely feeling that comes to me at night
It hurts to see you in the arms of my friend
Here comes that lonely, lonely feeling again
I saw you out walking your new love last night
Locked in his arm, you were holding him tight
Back here in my room, I know where you've been
Here comes that lonely, lonely feeling again
You can’t fight the feeling
I’ve got to get shot of this lonely feel
The one that comes around each night when day is done
There’ll come a time you’ll find you lonely, but it’s gonna be too late
You'll look for me but I won’t be at your garden gate
You know it hurts to see you in the arms of my friend
Here comes that feeling, lonely feeling
Here comes that lonely, lonely feeling again
You can’t fight the feeling
It hurts me more and more each day
Ever since you went away
Let me say, I ain’t too proud to beg
Baby, I ain’t too proud to beg
Down on my knees, begging please
I’d give the world for one more squeeze
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely feeling for you

Nick Lowe London, UK
Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. ... more

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 65 fans who also own “Lay It On Me”
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.

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 59 fans who also own “Lay It On Me”
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.
