I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the people pass me by
They can't see the tears in my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the tears I cry
They are falling now from my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the tears I cry
They are falling now from my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
She's only gone an hour ago, Richie
She's headed out to the shops
She's gone to get a packet of crisps
And a bottle of pop!
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
All the tears gonna fall from my eyes
And I'm gonna wonder why, oh why
Will my baby come back to me soon?

about
A new selection of Mint Biscuit tunes, some new, most older.
Just because I am bored and want to release something!
Review of Vested Interests
by Hans Werksman, herecomestheflood.com
Welsh guitarist Richard Thomas wraps up 2022 with two more homegrown albums: Clouded By Obscurity and Vested Interests. He can't help himself: the ideas keep coming and he wants to share most of them with the outside world. So: one album with mostly new tunes and the other one a compilation of old ones, revisited ones, and yes, more new ones.
Vested Interests
This album is more of a mixed bag. He kicks off with a trifecta of toe-tapping tunes - Cry, Cry, Cry; Curtains For Cuthbert; Sprouty's Blues, before painting himself into a corner with Twix Hat Variable, a mid-tempo rocker that tries hard, but never really gels. Taking into account that Thomas often reworks his compositions, there is a fine chance that he will get it right the next time.
He does some nice call-and-response stuff in Apricot Jam, a trick that he should use more. Thomas writes in the liner notes he was bored and he just wanted to release something. Glad he did. It might be a bit uneven at times, but there are plenty of gems to enjoy.
