Rushlight
I cannot be thrown away like a paper cup
And I cannot be blown out like a rushlight
Like a rushlight on a winters night
I cannot be tossed aside like a summer kite
And I cannot be put away like a Christmas light
Like a Christmas Light
But tell me do you see it
Do you feel it too
Just like only mothers
Only mothers do
Because I cannot be pushed along like a wooden toy
And I cannot be taken out for an annual dust
For an annual dust
But tell me
Do you see it
Do you feel it too
Just like only mothers
Only mothers do
I will not be passed around like a new born child
And I cannot be given back at the end of the night
At the end of the night
But tell me, do you see it
Do you feel it too
Just like only mothers
Only mothers do

Lady Of The Lake
Lady of the lake
Feel her calling you
Lady of the lake
Tis not my fault
You followed me
Tis not my fault
Just the way it’s always been
Tis all your fault
You chose to worship me
Tis all your fault
You fell in love with me
Lady of the lake
Feel her calling you
Lady of the lake
See how she’s there for you
Lady of the lake
See how she cares for you
Lady of the lake
Tis all but gone
The way it has to be
Tis all but gone
Now leave the rest to fate
Tis all but gone
Your heart replaced with hate
Tis all but gone
The love you held for me
Lady of the lake
Feel her calling you
Lady of the lake
See how she’s there for you
Lady of the lake
See how she cares for you
Lady of the lake
There’ll be some you can help
And some will defy
There’ll be some that rise u
And those that will hide
There’ll be some that will smile
And those that will cry
But at least you can rest
Just knowing you’ve tried
Just knowing you’ve tried

Never Again

Never Again
I see myself
Looking down
At the hard cold concrete
Beneath my feet
Feeling like
The walk of shame
In the middle of the day
The sun hits my tears
And blinds my thoughts
And in this moment I am numb
Another night and surely I’m done
I tell myself
Never again
Oh, never again
There is no truth
In this life that I’ve come to know
And I’m ashamed to say
That I know it so well
I know it so well
I’ll cut my hair
Become courageous
For I will live to outdate this
Take a risk and find strength
Conjure the strength of the Howarth sisters
I try to walk
I try to run
But your words press upon me
And all faith is gone
Feeling like
The walk of shame
In the middle of the day
The sun hits my tears
I tell myself
Never again
Oh, never again
There is no truth
In this life that I’ve come to know
And I’m ashamed to say
That I know it so well
I know it so well
I’ll cut my hair
Become courageous
For I will live to outdate this
Take a risk and find strength
Conjure the strength of the Howarth sisters

Not For The First Time

Not For The First Time
Not for the first time
Have I felt alone in this goddamn city
And not for the first time
Have I seen hearts as hard as an India-rubber ball
Not for the first time
Have I heard words beyond pity
And not for the first time
Have I heard a friend’s familiar cry
Not for the first time
Have I felt alone in this goddamn city
So if that’s the case
Oh why oh why are we still here
Not for the last time
Will I feel anger when I should not
Not for the last time
Will I feel afraid
Not for the last time
Will I hear a friend’s familiar cry
So if that’s the case
Oh why oh why are we still here

Mole Hill

Molehill
So I can’t write a love song
Though I try everyday
Not a pretty picture
But who is anyway
I’m not blessed with a trip switch
I’d like connecting, feeling no pain
And I try to deliver
On anything I say
But when I look in the mirror
The colour runs away
I’m not blessed with a trip switch
I’d like connecting, feeling no pain
Feeling no pain…
That Molehill
Now a mountain
As I wave goodbye to time
Refusing to be blinded by foresight
And I can’t fix your problems
Though I try all the same
And I don’t have the time
But say yes anyway
That Molehill
Now a mountain
As I wave goodbye to time
Refusing to be blinded by foresight

What Do You Say

What Do You Say
What do you say when you see the looks they’re giving
Giving each other daily
And what do you say when you hear the words they’re speaking,
Throwing sly remarks, failing
One, two, three, four, five, six
Lost count of the time we’ve spent
Talking and I don’t know if there’s anything left
One, two, three, four, five, six
Lost count of the tears you’ve shed
So come on, come on
What do you say when you see their hearts breaking
Beating a little softer, fading
What do you say when you see their vows caving
Caving under pressure, shaking
One, two, three, four, five, six
Lost count of the time we’ve spent
Talking and I don’t know if there’s anything left
One, two, three, four, five, six
Lost count of the tears you’ve shed
So come on, come on
You may find the truth
Find the faults
Find the answers you’ve been looking for
You may find the truth
Find the faults
Find the answers you’ve been looking for
One, two, three, four, five, six
Lost count of the time we’ve spent
Talking and I don’t know if there’s anything left
One, two, three, four, five, six
Lost count of the tears you’ve shed
So come on, come on

Ophelia
Ophelia, what you gone and done?
Ophelia Why?
Caught in the cookie jar
Now he’s going to make you cry
Ophelia run, run, run
Child you know I’m right
Tie your shoelaces tight
Hold on to your kite
You may have to weave your way
Through the tears and the fears girl
Past the francoists
And the father
That you never actually asked for
You know,
Satisfaction will never come,
Run away or grab a gun
Ask your mother, I’m sure she has one
If you fail then dear, I will grab my wand
Ophelia, why child, let your mind slip into a labyrinth
So, so far that you can’t climb out
Where no one can hear your cries
You may have to weave your way
Through the tears and the fears girls,
Past the francoists
And the father
That you never actually asked for
You know,
Satisfaction will never come,
Run away or grab a gun
Ask your mother, I’m sure she has one
If you fail then dear, I will grab my wand

Walk Away

Walk Away
Tears fall faster today
Now don’t you see
You are leaving him
Oh, not just me
Now don’t you feel
Slight remorse, slight regret
Oh he’s your child
Not an absent mind
But you go on
As though you were blind
And all you got
Is a jaded smile?
But you won’t leave those woods
You won’t leave those woods
But I cannot let you
Walk Away, walk away, walk from him now
I cannot let you
Walk Away, walk away, walk from him now
But you will never leave those woods
The clock strikes
Just like your bite
But before the time
You choose to live by
The eyes say everything
As they turn to gaze
At the lonely gate
You won’t even look at his face
You will be faced with your own disgrace
But you won’t leave those woods
You won’t leave those woods
But I cannot let you
Walk Away, walk away, walk from him now
I cannot let you
Walk Away, walk away, walk from him now
You will never leave those woods

Obey Me

Obey Me
I’m not saying don’t look
But don’t look beyond
But I’m saying don’t stay
Unless you’re here to work
You fall short
And I’ll respond
Wave my hand
I get what I want
I’m not saying I’m wrong
You just made it so
But I’m saying don’t go
Fear you always will
Just say yes and I am yours
No hearts and flowers
It’s not what I know
But you should know
That I will go crazy
If you do not obey me
Obey me baby
I’m not saying don’t bite
But don’t bite that lip
But I’m saying don’t fight
Fight against my grip
Say the words and I will stop
Don’t read minds so shout them loud
Not saying its your fault
But it kinda is
Not saying we rushed
We just went too hard
Won’t take another step
Until you ask me to
Next time you trip
Gonna use my whip
But you should know
That I will go crazy
If you do not obey me
Obey me baby

Unpolished Pearl

Unpolished Pearl
Hold your horses, oh little ones
Why do I feel like the old one here?
Pop a stamp on my head and put me in a post box
I want to get the hell out of here
And I scream louder than ever before
Stuck in some kind of sleep paralysis
And I can’t awake, they won’t let me
I guess I will always be that unpolished pearl
Bestrode my fantasy of a better life
A fixation comes flooding in to greet me with shark teeth
Splintering my rubber raft
Sinking my pride
Ops again, there goes my stride
And I scream louder than ever before
Stuck in some kind of sleep paralysis
And I can’t awake, they won’t let me
I guess I will always be that unpolished pearl
I can't move
I can't scream
The Only thing I can do is wait
Wait for him
Him in the shadows
To free
To free me
And I scream louder than ever before
Stuck in some kind of sleep paralysis
And I can’t awake, they won’t let me
I guess I will always be that unpolished pearl
I float upstream, currents know me
Tease me, pull me near
Down to the depths beneath the silt and the shit
I’m just about breathing
Although I’m still heaving
And I scream louder than ever before
Stuck in some kind of sleep paralysis

High Heel Shoes
I feel like swinging in your half-moon eyes
In the dead of night
And I feel like I could walk all night in high heel shoes
Just to be with you
A curl of a hair around a finger tip
The touch of a tongue on a quivering lip
The dance of your breath now playing on my neck
And the heat that I feel when you kiss me like this
I feel like swinging in your half-moon eyes
In the dead of night
And I feel like I could walk all night in high heel shoes
Just to be with you
A turn of a head, the sweet sound of a sigh
The arch of your back set black against the sky
The smell of your skin both heady and shaken
Make no mistake, my heart will be taken
I feel like,
I won’t say no
I feel like swinging in your half-moon eyes
In the dead of night
And I feel like I could walk all night in high heel shoes
Just to be with you

All That Thinking
Some times I’m scared
At the end of another day
All that thinking for nothing because nothing ever came
And I don’t mind if it’s you
But I’ll weep if it’s me
One day
I keep telling myself one day
But if it never happens
Of god, please let us be okay

Roses
Three women
Cousins’ war
Different women
Each with a cause
Stealing beauty
Steering lives
Spinning webs
Believing lies
Red and white roses
Red and whites fell
Red and white rose
Red and whites fell
Times change
Minds made
One so close
Taken by the blade
They dared to ask
They lived for pride
Each step
Steeped with blight
Red and white roses
Red and whites fell
Red and white rose
Red and whites fell

Beatrix Players London, UK
Beatrix Players make florid, adventurous music that operates at the interface between folk rock, singer-songwriter acoustica, prog and quasi-classical baroque chamber pop. There is a light, translucent quality to the music, and yet when it is not being hushed and reverent, it has the attack and thrust, the surging dynamism, of rock. It can be soft and intimate, yet fiery, intense and immense. ... more
