Richard & Linda Thompson - A Heart Needs A Home ( live 1975 )

Another old clip from my video collection - this is from The Old Grey Whistle Test 1975 .
Beautiful heartfelt performance of a gorgeous song - crystal clear vocals from Linda.
This is from the album ' Hokey Pokey ' - Island Records 1975 , the 2004 reissue is a good buy as it contains 5 extra live tracks.
Here is a link to background on the album

LYRICS

I know the way
That I feel about you
I'm never going to run away
I'm never going to run away
Never knew the way
When I lived without you
I'm never going to run away
I'm never going to run away

I came to you when
No one could hear me
I'm sick and weary
Of being alone
Empty streets and
Hungry faces
The world's no place when
You're on your own
A heart needs a home

Some people say
That I should forget you
I'm never going to be a fool
I'm never going to be a fool
A better life, they say
If I'd never met you
I'm never going to be a fool
I'm never going to be a fool

Tongues talk fire and
Eyes cry rivers
Indian givers
Hearts of stone
Paper ships and
Painted faces
The world's no place when
You're on your own
A heart needs a home
