RAMBLE MY ROSE Verse 1 Light me up Silver armour, Horse flies through a shooting fire, My arms can’t reach but the thorns replace, the ditch of life that is here to stay Chorus Ramble my Rose the wall is just big enough for you. One day the white wall will shatter and you’ll be there to claw me out too Verse 2. Hey Loa another Christ dies, he swallows a burden of guilt. The haze is issued in timeless guilt while monsieur’s are sweet of utter reappraise. Chorus Ramble My rose, the wall is just big enough for you. Ramble my Rose, the wall is not big enough for you! la la la la la

Push 03:06
PUSH BY KATY CARR Verse 1 I’m fine I’m stable I’m immediately in the moment I can talk about things I can Talk to myself Then somebody like you has to come along And disrupt every moment that I’ve been working on Chorus You push push pushing my boundaries x2 I can not nurture this space within me Verse 2 Help me I’m falling down this deep lagoon How can I be rescued by you’re silver spoon I can’t lift a pen I’m waiting for the telephone to ring How can I be in love with you when I haven’t even had a fling

Until that day I ‘ll rule you under my feet and precious scarcity improves my sight. Amazed to see it stately height, destined till our senses meet. Screwing Lies, Wait till you Fuck another and tell me those Screwing lies , play my scales then you’ll tell me… Wait and where you sleep, branches meet and go and drops Proceed to dawn the frost within high spring motto… Sun intervals of 15 seconds away, as I accept such a forecast, and if all was changed I’d be weak cause I couldn’t greet you with my Screwing Lies…..

Flower Shark 03:44
FLOWER SHARK BY KATY CARR Vs 1 I remember the shark saying don’t go crossing the rapids for I can see blue current to suck you under If I found some colour I might face another state of mind But I’ll ne’r be the lucky girl sitting by the fireside Chorus Oh the flowers Oh the lilies Oh he left me by the river Vs 2 If you’re heading for that trip please take me I can not bear this loneliness sitting by the fireside Chorus mid 8 He may be laughing but I feel I’m floating It don’t mean a thing over these moors

Verse 1 My marmalade Duke spins quatros and spreads the butter well He enjoys the taste of her but more importantly of me And the reasoning dwells consistently without reason as my head spins almost out of sync with everything around me With everything around me. Chorus. MARMALADE DUKE BY KATY CARR My Marmalade duke ` I love the way you spread me on a plate And when I’m waking up late in the morning And you’re rescuing me from the bedside From the bedside. Verse 2 And It feels like I’m stuck in the river with Canary wharf as me only point And if I can’t be you’re natural girl then I’ll glide into my mothers milk [with my passionate prince] chorus Middle 8 And I love the way I think of you my honey Even when things get rough Even when the fruit has been laid down As my head spins almost out of sync with everything around me With everything around me. Chorus x3

about

Katy’s debut album ‘Screwing Lies’ chronicles the madness of sexual relations, from unrequited love to lonely hearts, how it feels to be ‘the cheat’ or ‘the cheated’. Songs of infidelity and murder, transvestism and female insanity sung in a soothing, intoxicating voice.
Impossible to classify. ‘Screwing Lies,’ eclectic influences take the listener on a journey from the repressed Victoriana of the title track to the trip-hop cheekiness of ‘Knickers’. A dark, folk-pop muse, carr believes in the power of stories. Traditional tales are updated ad subverted with voyeuriem taking a front seat. The meaning of each story is elliptical, always in sight yet tanatalisingly just out of reach.
Arrangements are carefully chosen to compliment each song without being overpowering. The sparce rich cello of ‘Black Widow’, the gallic concertina of ‘Screwing Lies’, john Edwards’ double bass that drives ‘Ramble My Rose’ a groove to make Pentangle proud, and ‘Moscow Child’s’ waltztime piano, Eastern European style.
Beautiful on the surface with a delicious dark centre, ‘Screwing Lies’ is an accomplished debut album from a fascinating new voice in the acoustic world. Katy Carr is a welcome anomaly.
