Richard Thompson - "Singapore Sadie" [Official Audio] 

Or played a bad live show

By writing basically the same boring song over and over and over.

@@juliebraden6911don’t listen then

@@juliebraden6911Sshhh, the adults are talking…

It's called genius.

Thank you for taking the time to post the lyrics.

Thanks for posting, but I think I hear "ward OFF" and "She don't hang around with no rocking horse winners" (referencing D.H. Lawrence).

@@allenvoice8092 You are dead right - and I've changed my mind on the preceding line as well: Singapore Sadie, three times the lady Of anyone that you can name That’s why the tongues wag in the gob Of each hag deficient in beauty or brain She doesn’t even know lies and excuses Circles the wagons with whoever she chooses Her love is a mystical thing I swear I hear choirs celestial sing Her love doesn’t come every day It comes like a bolt from the blue Burning and blinding and true Oh Singapore Sadie, she leaves them all standing The envious howl and they sigh The talismans hang from her wrists and her ankles To ward off the mischievous eye Now some girls just lay it all there on the table She keeps you guessing like Monroe or Grable 'Cause her love is a mystical thing I swear I hear choirs celestial sing Her love doesn’t come every day It comes like a bolt from the blue Burning and blinding and true Oh Singapore Sadie, she channels the dead Like they're standing right there in the room She can be forgiving, at times to the living So please number me in that crew She don't dignify one-eyed jigs or beginners She don't hang around with no rocking horse winners 'Cause her love is a mystical thing I swear I hear choirs celestial sing Her love doesn’t come every day It comes like a bolt from the blue 'Cause her love is a mystical thing I swear I hear choirs celestial sing Her love doesn’t come every day It comes like a bolt from the blue Burning and blinding and true Burning and blinding and true Burning and blinding... ...and true

Hey, I'm still discovering that I've misheard lyrics to songs that I've loved for decades@@ferringtoncaster

“She doesn’t give you no lies or excuses”

And again and again, getting very boring.

I'm disappointed.

Global airplay 😊 How it should be 👍

Macro Richard, perhaps?

Perhaps you are enthusiastic of the originality of Joe Bonamassa or Stevie Vai!?

@@haolefly No, don't like either, both pretentious, actually listening to Tangerine Dream.

Joe Bonnamassa is pretentious? He seems as down to earth as can be

@@ciarraibuzz Sorry, I just don't like him, he plays too loud. I'm 69 now and taking it easy.
