Joan Armatrading
Joan Armatrading was born in St Kitts and started her singing career in London in the seventies and in June 2001 she was awarded an MBE. She has an earthy but warm vocal range and her intricate acoustic guitar work is great to listen to. She is one of my favourite female singer/songwriters. The following tracks are taken from “The Collection” CD, which covers songs released between 1976 and 1980.
Somebody
Who Loves You 
Turn
Out The Light
Woncha
Come On Home
Willow
Love and
Affection
Water With The Wine
Met
him on a Monday, and he said he loved me so
He
walked me to my door, before I knew it to my living room
I
thought there was no need for money when he took me in his arms
Drank some whisky, hung his coat upon the stand
That’s
when the music started,
I
heard the light switch flick
I
stumbled on a love shoe,
The fever started
This
man was getting hot
I’ve
got no strength to make him stop
To mix some water with the wine
The
sun came pouring in at 5 upon my face
I
wasn’t sure if I had dreamt it or had not
But there upon the pillow was the face I had forgot
That’s
when he said he loved me
Could
be the truth this time
He
put his arms about me
The fever started
This
man was getting hot
I’ve
got no strength to make him stop
I
guess it’s too late but I’ll know next time
To mix some water with the wine
