about
Boulder Books
1st February 2019 - Boulder CO.
Boulder Books is a very impressive shop boasting not only a finely curated book selection, a tempting array of literary inspired T-shirts and pin badge paraphernalia, but also a huge old ballroom of books where we played that night.
YOU MAKE THE BEST PLANS, THOMAS
Inspired by Bring Up The Bodies, by Hilary Mantel.
lyrics
The second wife of Henry Was accused of adultery
Oh yes, oh yes says Thomas
You see she wont bring a baby She’s no good to his country Oh no, please arrest her, Thomas
She might come gracefully For the sake of her family But oh, take no chances, Thomas
Go and find her lovers
That includes her brother
Oh no, that’s what they say, Thomas
I need no sympathy
I need no sympathy
From you, from you, from you Thomas
I’ll be found guilty
On the King’s authority
Oh well, well if you say Thomas
But the King’s shown mercy He’s not going to burn me
Oh no, well there’s hope yet, Thomas
I’ll be kind to her
Said the French executioner Oh so, well forgive me Thomas
So she held her body
For all the crowd to see
Oh yeah, to see the blood flow, Thomas
And as he distracted her Swung the French executioner You’re the best,
You make the best plans, Thomas
The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books and play them in bookshops. They started as a collaboration between a group
of musicians in Bath and their local independent bookshop, Mr B's Emporium. Now they are about to go on tour, sponsored by Vintage Books and Independent Booksellers Week, around other bookshops and lit fests. Catch them if you can. Details at www.thebookshopband.co.uk...more

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
