I suppose since i use this song title as my login handle i'd better comment on it...
Apparently the basic story behind this song came to Richard Thompson in a dream. It took a while for him and Dave Swarbrick to get it together as a song, but when Sandy Denny (RIP) joined the band Thompson thought her voice would be perfect for it. Richard Thompson has always had a kind of morbid sensibility, and this one is quintessential Thompson. It's one of his faves from the Fairport years (and mine too). I played bass and guitar for about 5 years in a celtic/british folk cover band called Crazy Man Michael.
I am looking for a couple of song by fairport convention. I had them but never knew the song title and now i have lost the files.
One of the songs has lines like...."Come to the dinner (missed the word after that)....Table is laiden? high...Fat bellies and hungry little ones"..something like that. The refrain ends like, "Some get nothing though there's plenty to share".
