Oh the last bus has gone
Or maybe I'm wrong
It just doesn't exist
And the words that flew
Between me and you
I must be crossed off your list
So I'm walking the long miles home
I don't mind losing you
In fact I feel better each step of the way
In the dark I rehearse all the right things to say
I'll be home, I'll be sober by break of day
Walking the long miles home

Not a soul is around
As I put more ground
Between me and you
And the whole town's asleep
Or maybe they're deep in the old "voulez vous"
So I'm walking the long miles home
And I don't mind losing you
Got the moon there for company each step of the way
And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away
When you ride Shanks's Pony you don't have to pay
Walking the long miles home

Oh the party was grand
But I hadn't quite planned on staying so long
And while you accused me
The hours confused me and my friends had all gone
So I'm walking the long miles home
And I don't mind losing you
Ah there's nobody out but the cop on the beat
He's snoring so loud I don't hear my feet
I just laugh to myself and move off down the street
Walking the long miles home
I'm walking the long miles home
Oh walking the long miles home

Meh. I saw Richard Thompson on the 13th floor of the New Orleans Masonic Lodge during Jazz Fest. Once. One of his kids was on guitar. No clue how I got there, but I sure did.  There are witnesses.  He'll go out with his guitar strap on, that one. Like Nick Lowe will. Too. 


As incoherent posts go, this is a winner. Somehow, a musician of his stature and brilliance really should not be assessed as you have done. Although I'm not sure of your point.

Hope he comes back soon. But he's getting up there in years. Love ya Richard.

Very nice to hear RT here. More, please! I’ve seen him a couple times in person. Always rousing.

This is the perfect Sunday song. Circa 1982. Dragging club-ass to Waffle House.

My second day listening to Radio Paradise and not only do they play Richard Thompson, my favorite songwriter, but one of my favorite songs of his. I'm hooked already. Very typical of his songwriting style- telling details, dark humor, fully realized story in only three minutes.

As a Triumph and BSA owner, I recall and relate to that old adage. I was also similarly amused at the idea of Italian 'Veglia' instrumentation of that time, especially re speedos...

In fairness, I hired a Harley Davidson Road King and rode Route 66 last year. It was heavier than an ocean-going vessel and had the cornering of a road roller. However, it was 100% reliable and after 3,000mls of riding, I didn’t have a single ace or a pain!

We all have our favorites and no, it doesn't always make sense. Bob Dylan sounds like a squeaky, rusted door hinge to me, but I can't get enough of Neil Young. Turn up the ones you like, and turn down the ones you don't. Who needs rules?

RT formed Fairport Convention in 1967 and has been writing brilliant music ever since.
I think you'll find that David Byrne heard him.
Why dont you people do any research before you make stupid comments?

For the record, Byrne and RT have performed together on several occasions. Most notably was a show in New Brunswick, NJ. It's out there on the bittorrent sites. Byrne also cut a solid version of "Just the Motion" for the RT tribute record Beat the Retreat.

Richard Thompson was an established brilliant musician before David Byrne enrolled in RISD. I appreciate both musicians, but one is a phenomenal guitarist; the other not. You determine which.

One of the things I really, really like about RP is the flow of one song into another. Yeah, there are some artists that taken alone I wouldn't cross the street to listen to but, they fit well into the mix that Bill pulls together and because they fit, they sound pretty good. Besides, I've always liked a little "EU flair" to some music 'cause after a while Amy Winehouse and the Shins start to wear a little thin.

It just occurred to me that the male lead from "A Mighty Wind" may have been inspired by Richard Thompson. Hmmm... didn't he have a much publicized break up with his wife who was also sang with him? The voice is vaguely similar as well. No disrespect, its a good song. Just a thought.
Nice idea, but Mitch and Mickey in "A Mighty Wind" weren't married. They just sang together. Great flick, tho', eh? Especially Harry Shearer at the end, "I found that I had to go through life as a blonde..."

Richard Thompson is an incredible song writer and an even more amazing guitar player. I've seen him play many times and the things he does on the guitar while singing would be a challenge for many guitar players focussed only on playing. One of his shows is where he does music from the middle ages to the present. It's over 2 hours of non stop music that flies by way too fast. Often he ends it with an incredibly halarious and technically impressive version of Whoops I Did it Again. This an amazing talent that flies just under the radar. Thanks for playing RP.
