Verse 1
Am
London City, far from pretty, 2005
A lady down in Paddington
is fighting just to stay alive.
Rhythmic beeps and bloodstained sheets
our lady weeps she's tired
and frail to set the scene
we must rewind the hands of time for Viol

et's Tale.

Am
Violet was a silent girl,
Em
grew up with violent starts
Am
Her mother was a drinker
Em
Am
and her father was a bastard
Every night he'd talk her tight
Em
but never left the room
Am
I'll spare you of the things he did,
Em
Am
I'm sure her mother knew
Violet was a silent girl,
F
E
she moved out at sixteen
Am
A semi -detached council flat,
F
E
paid for by a welfare scheme
Am
Packing shelves at Tesco,
F
E
stacking jars like pickled bricks
Am
She met a boy named Stevie
and he was a little prick
Violet was a silent girl
Em
D
and Violet, she fell fast
Am
See Stevie was a wrong 'un
Em
Am
but he sure knew how to charm her
Every night he'd tuck her tight
Em
Am
but nev er left the room
History repeats itself,
Em

he'd paint her black and blue

She never stood a chance,

Violet, why are you always so quiet?
D
Am
On her bedroom door and he's irate
He's been drinking and
E
Am
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?
Am
She stays silent, things turn violent
That's the sound of his fist
Am
when they fall like a crashing pilot
Hit like hailstones,
Em
one to the collarbone
Am
Full force, full blown, blood splat
Wrong crack, knick -knack,
paddywhack
Em
One to the jaw and the tooth,
spat, detached
Fist connects and disconnects
the bone
A quick deflect, a miss to wreck the blow
But nonetheless his punch has
met her throat
Such a mess he's left
her bruised and broke
Violet, why you always so quiet, Violet?
Why you're such a little liar, Violet?
Am
Do you think I wanna do this,
Violet?
In character she stays silent
Am
Well say something, Violet
Silence
Am
Fucking say something, Violet
Silence
Am
Wait
Say something, Violet

Not one word, she stays quiet

London city, far from pretty, 2005
A lady rushed to Paddington,
is fighting just to stay alive
A 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,
C
Violet broke her silence
Am
if I'm to die right here tonight
C
D
Please let my baby stay alive
Am
The doctor soon regained
composure
C
D
Called the surgeon to come in
Am
As Violet's world turned to black
C

Am
The curtains closed, the lights went dim
In London City, far from pretty

Am
Two, zero, zero, five
A lady down in Paddington
Just lost the fight to stay alive
Am
A tragedy or a miracle
D
It happened on these very streets
Am
Two twins alive, side by side
A girl named Jenny
And a boy named Screech
