I've been asked for lyrics of Linda Thompson songs. There are just three in the DT, and there is no mention of a songbook as far as I can find out, and no website with lyrics. Google wasn't successful either - hogged by a former girlfriend of Elvis. And no, I don't know which songs my friend is after - any ever written or recorded by Linda, I guess. Maybe some Linda Thompson fans can help out with pointers?

There is a whole album of her songs on her CD 'Fashionably Late'

Matai, does the album come with printed lyrics? That might help a lot.

Nope, no lyrics are printed in the insert.

They are not hard to pick up though. I was surprised she had written them they sounded so similar to other folk-songs I've heard over the years. She certainly has a knack for the traditional genre. Some lovely harmonies with her son? Teddy Thompson and Kate Rusby and a gorgeous song called 'Dear Old Man of Mine' which I'm sure is some kind of tribute to Richard Thompson who also plays on the album.
