Stream Violet's tale here: renmakesmusic.lnk.to/VioletsTale Here are the lyrics for anyone who wants them London City, far from pretty Two, zero, zero, five 
A lady down in Paddington Is fighting just to stay alive Rhythmic beeps and blood stained sheets Our lady weeps; she’s tired and frail To set the scene We must rewind the hands of time for violets tale Violet was a silent girl Grew up with violent starts Her mother was a drinker And her father was a bastard Every night he’d tuck her tight But never left the room Ill spare you of the things he did Im sure her mother knew Violet was a silent girl She moved out at sixteen A semi-detached council flat Paid for by a welfare-scheme Packing shelves at Tesco’s Stacking jars like pickled bricks She met a boy named Stevie And he was a little prick Violet was a silent girl And violet she fell fast See Stevie was a wrongun But he sure knew how to charm her Every night he’d tuck her tight But never left the room History repeats itself Hed paint her black and blue and ah… She never stood a chance The devil comes to dance “Violet, why you always so silent?” knock knock knock On her bedroom door and he’s irate He’s been drinking and smoking he’s up late And he stands by her bedside, she shakes But her eyes stay shut 

“You fucking slut! I know you’re up!”

 and he pinches her eyelids and folds them up 

“Violet, why you lying to me violet?” 

She stays silent, things turn violent 

Knock knock knock

 Thats the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot


 Hit like hailstones, one to the collar bone, full force, full blown,
 blood splat, bone crack, knick-knack-paddy-whack
 one to the jaw and a tooth spat - detached

 fist connects and disconnects the bone 
a quick deflect to misdirect the blow But non-the-less his punches met her throat
 such a mess; he’s left her bruised and broke

 “Violet!?
 Why you always so silent violet!?
 Why you such a little liar violet!?
 Do you think I want to do this Violet?!”

 In character she stays silent

 “Well say something Violet!”

 Silence

 “Fucking say something Violet!”

 Silence…

 “Wait… say something Violet”

 Not one word, she stays quiet….


 London City, far from pretty 
two, zero, zero, five 
A lady rushed to paddington is fighting just to stay alive 
the doctor in a state of shock, saw something here so very wrong
 See Violet, she was pregnant, 
Poor violet, she was nine months gone

 Turning to the doctor Violet broke her silence and she cried, 
“If im to die right here tonight, please let my baby stay alive ”
the doctor soon regained composure, called the surgeon to come in
 As violets world turned to black, the curtains closed
 The lights went dim in… 

London City, far from pretty,
 two zero zero five 
A lady down in paddington Just lost the fight to stay alive A tragedy, or miracle It happened on these very streets Two twins are lying side by side 

A girl named Jenny 
And a boy named Screech
