Here comes your hero wrapped in golden skin
The dark clouds are coming feel the weight of the wind
If you’ve got the money then you can come on in
Just try and fly tonight
The fuse is lit and the hypocrites are taken for a ride
I heard you’re in the tower selling snake oil on the side
We’ve got to fix this world and heal this great divide
And why? I’m getting dry
I’m going down to the well
I’m going down can’t you tell
There goes your hero blinded by the sun
Selling secrets down the road away from everyone
Got the motor running I’m not the only one
And why? I’m getting dry.
I’m going down to the well
I’m going down can’t you tell
I’m going down to the well
I saw you standing
Way down by the riverside
I’ll meet you on the other
Oh yeah

If you want to hear me cry
just say her name
If you want to see me weep or go insane
Nighttime to sunrise
if you hear a sobbing sound
Here comes tomorrow
so I must be feelin’ down
If you need to hear me cry just say her name
I was not good at goodbye or playing games
Left by the station
as her train pulled out of town
My destination was never written down
Goodnight and goodbye
to all our friends
Dunno what comes next
But I know how it ends
If u wanna hear me weep
Hear that sobbing sound
You’ll know you’re in too deep
When you start to drown
If it’s any consolation
You can say we’re no relation
say we’re no relation anymore
I’ll be getting on my way
right round sundown
there is nothing more to say
it always was your town
Nighttime to sunrise
if you hear a solid sound
Dawn means tomorrow
so I must be feelin’ down
If you wanna hear me cry
If you wanna hear me cry
If you wanna hear me cry
If you wanna hear me cry

The Long Ryders Los Angeles, California
The Long Ryders founded alt-country with their 1984 album, Native Sons, and helped codify and popularise Americana throughout their career. Crossing Byrds/Buffalo Springfield electric guitars and harmonies with a Sex Pistols/Ramones rhythm section was their idea and their legacy. Their signature songs Looking For Lewis And Clark and I Had A Dream have never left the airwaves. ... more

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 15 fans who also own “Down To The Well”
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.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 15 fans who also own “Down To The Well”
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.
