Someone came bringing books for you
Swinging a bag for you
Singing songs for you
Someone had to tell her
He’s not the one for you
He’s not the one for your books, nor your song
Because, you can’t give him anything,
anything, anything
Not a call, a curse, or a compliment
anything, not anything
He can’t take anything,
anything, anything
Not a joke, a job, or a Jamieson’s
anything, not anything
You can’t take anything,
anything, anything
Not a vow, advice, or a vitamin
anything, anything
He can’t give you anything,
anything, anything
Not a thought, a thank, a Theramin
anything, not anything
He’ll just take everything
anything, and everything
Your time, your trust, your Temazepam
everything, your everything
Don’t go giving him anything, anything, anything
he’ll just take everything
Your dreams, your dazzle, and your dinner money
And everything

Such a broad range of roots music styles; trad English, modern Scottish, Americana.
The first track is fabulous, took me right back to teenage years listening to Fairport.
Hope it gets the recognition it deserves Derrick Turner
