Richard Thompson - Turning of the Tide
Loading...
Uploaded by Cleapatr on Feb 6, 2009
How many boys, one night stands,
How many lips, how many hands, have held you
Like I'm holding you tonight
Too many nights, staying up late,
Too much powder and too much paint
No you can't hide from the turning of the tide
Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress
Did they find some tender moment there in your caress
The boys all say "You look so fine"
They don't come back for a second time
Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide
Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before
Did he tell you that he'd love you, darling, for evermore?
Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume,
Creaking bed in a hotel room
Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide
Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress
Did they find some tender moment there in your caress
The boys all say "You look so fine",
They don't come back for a second time
Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide

velocity500 you just said a mouthful! Bob Mould nailed it, and it was a standout performance from a collection resembling a musical highlight film!

I never cease to be amazed at the way RT can sound like an entire rock & roll band.
