“The Frame” was released on Iain Matthews' 1977 album, “Hit and Run”. It is a cover of the Terry Reid song of the same name that was released a year earlier in 1976.
You're acting like you've got a nail in your shoe
I just can't get over what's got into you
Hey stop shouting and cover yourself
For when you look for a witness
There ain't nobody else
Because it's a
Whole thing going down
Everytime it will turn you around
When on paper it's finally found
That it's he who has the whole thing down
A little better
So you take a motion
And what do you do
You sit it out
Until you finally get through
But you can't tell someone
That steals from himself
Of all the love he's wasting
Trying to frame someone else
'Cause it's a
Whole thing that's coming down
Everytime it will turn you around
When on paper it's finally found
That it's he who has the whole thing down
A little better
You're acting like you've got a nail in your shoe
I just can't get over what's got into you
Hey stop shouting and cover yourself
For when you look for a witness
There ain't nobody else
'Cause there's a
Whole thing that's coming down
Everytime it will turn you around
When on paper it's finally found
That it's he who has the whole thing down
A little better
Whole thing that's coming down
Everytime it will turn you around
A stolen ship comes home
Wandering minstrels roam
A little better...
The Frame was written by Terry Reid.
The Frame was produced by Nikolas K. Venet.
