Never Again - Richard & Linda Thompson

A minor-key waltz, composed by Richard Thompson and sung by his then-wife Linda. They are of course the parents of singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson. There's a story that at their last public appearance as a duo Richard performed with blood dripping from his bald pate, thanks to the ashtray that his soon-to-be-ex-wife had thrown at him in the dressing room shortly before they went on stage. What does all that have to do with this song? Nothing. Nothing at all.
