lyrics
we are passengers traveling through the afterworld
we can’t know where we come from and pasiphae’s just another moon
jupiter he’s by my side and we watch galaxies collide
my apathy is losing ground
open my mouth and make a sound
someone’s in the rear view mirror i see them pulling up beside me
humming like a throated sparrow i wipe an old tear from my eye
just take the wheel and drive
you’re listening to the songs of celestial kings
coming down you look for me here i am, reaching perigee
someone’s in the rear view mirror i see them pulling up beside me
humming like a throated sparrow i wipe an old tear from my eye
someone’s in the rear view mirror stay in your lane you’ll be fine
mercury is stuck in scorpio and the little dipper’s dripping dry
take it in, open your heart, they’re smiling hold on
take it in, open your ears, they’re laughing hold on
take it in, open your mouth, they’re singing hold on
we’re passengers and the road is long

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.

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.
