lyrics

(Please note – the lyrics to this song are the originals, but we improvised during the recording, so you will hear something different)…

Charles Peace, Charlie Peace, is requested not to interfere with my family.
Deformed in Darnell, formed in Hell, fled to Hull;
Only the second shot was fatal; Catherine was always postnatal. Charlie Peace…

Miller labourer, Sheffield charlatan murderer.
Picture famer, poverty proclamaimer;
In the Mill, in Darnell, in Armley Jail, hanged in Hell…
Underestimated, overcompensated.

Picture framer, run to Hull,
Darnell Murderer – fled to Hell, hard to foretell.
Peckham Pouncer, Blackheath Burglar, Sheffield murderer, murder, murderer.

Man of science, man of silence,
Back to Leeds Magistrates: they’ll hang you for my wife; they hanged you for my murderer.
Charlie Peace requested to not interfere with my family…

Charlie Peace, Charles Peace forever constrained to IMDB.
My Ghost will never be free (only the second shot was fatal) proclaiming no man of science – just Yorkshire defiance

'Ear all, see all, say nowt;
Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt;
And if ivver tha does owt fer nowt –
Allus do it fer thissen

Yorkshire vs Essex London, UK

Yorkshire Vs Essex are a London-based trio singing of the lives of historical figures... with nice slices of embellishment. Influenced by the likes of Robert Wyatt, Current 93, Scott Walker, Miles Davis, Shabazz Palaces, Nick Cave, Autechre, Matana Roberts, Bjork and Iannis Xenakis - but sounding little like them, bass and vocals merge with flute, trombone, accordion, digital horn and electronics. ... more
