Wallis Bird is wild. Wallis Bird is unpredictable. And she is contradictory. The best way to sum-up an artist who combines so many different styles is with the person themselves - hence the reason for self-titling her new upcoming album. A musical magpie whose mature, self-affirming songs display an unusual emotional breadth, Wallis defies categorization. The Irish artist has paid her dues, shredding her fingers and breaking string after string from the sheer force of playing on stages small and large across Europe, and throwing her entire soul into each performance with a level of energy that makes her an unassailable force of nature. Wallis Bird cannot - and should not - be pigeonholed easily. Capable of the delicate, gossamer-thin ballads that her tiny 5ft2 frame would suggest, she can also summon up a whirlwind of passion and rage in the blink of an eye. Her performances can transition seamlessly from the defiant anthems that can motivate thousands of festival-goers into a rousing sing-a-long, to the most hushed and fragile ballads that can captivate an audience into a spellbound silence . Wherever you may find Wallis, she stands out as a contradictory, powerful presence, one that can unite audiences anywhere she plays. "Wallis Bird" was written and recorded in three places that, while geographically separate, were all deliberately chosen to impose their unique atmospheres onto the songs. From the communist broadcasting station in Berlin of the former GDR where the government broadcast its propaganda until the Berlin wall came down; to an isolated ghost ridden cottage on a godforsaken cliff edge in Ireland during the worst snowstorms in thirty years; to her own flat in Brixton, South London against a backdrop of screaming sirens and looting as the London riots threatened to overrun the city. The result is a record that strives to makes sense of the chaos around us all. A double Meteor Award winner in her native Ireland, Wallis Bird's new album is her third and follows her debut 'Spoons' and 2009's 'New Boots,' both of which saw her garner critical acclaim and tour with the likes of Billy Bragg, Gabrielle, The Feeling & Rodrigo y Gabriela. Bird has also played some of Europe's biggest festivals, with her recent appearance at Paris' Rock En Seine Festival prompting one of France's biggest daily papers, Le Monde, to hail her performance as one of the highlights of the festival alongside Arcade Fire. An exceptional guitarist, her unique playing style only adds to the intrigue of her performances. Following a childhood accident which permanently damaged her left hand, Bird learned to play her instrument flipped back to front, thus having to create her own bafflingly complex chord fingerings, much to the bewilderment of any musicians in the audience. The new album 'Wallis Bird' marks another progression, a record deliberately self-titled to mark it out as the defining statement of her career so far. So the confident strut that opens the first single 'Encore' nestles alongside the astonishing vitriol of 'Who's Listening Now', the folky pledge of 'In Dictum' and the almost carefree 'Heartbeating City' – all disparate musical elements that go towards creating the whole that is Wallis Bird as a songwriter. The intimacy of the recordings captures the sound and smell of an acoustic guitar being pushed to its physical limits, the sense of a packed-out local bar being conducted in time and in thrall to the energetic, captivating presence who marshals every element. This is Wallis Bird, an unpredictable artist who chooses her own path and beckons us to follow.

Hammering
Hammering my feet Down, down, down, down, down Hammering this land I find my feet in Having to believe this feeling's meaning Hammering the pain Down, down, down, down, down Hammering the shame I know I'm grieving Harbouring regret For what I'm stealing But I must draw the line In chalk I draw the line Evolve into the line Copy paste is killing the internet The heart is just a pump Pound, pound, pound, pound, pound The heart is just a muscle that is breathing The heart is just a muscle I am teaching Temporary truth Found, found, found, found, found Temporary youth I love misleading Tampering with good hearts is not healing So I must draw the line Evolve into the line In chalk I draw the line So I draw the line Evolve into the line In chalk I draw the line Hammering, hammering, hammering Hammering, hammering, hammering...
River of Paper Oh but I could swim In the seas of your intelligence In the body that you are floating in In the river of your voice Is a song that's bleeding charity In an ocean of you I dive in Copy paste is killing the internet Love you are a book Of parables and poetry With the last few pages kept from print To excite and to surprise To allow me to read everything But there're still some things you've kept from ink
Little Plastic Castle ( Ani Difranco ) In a coffee shop in a city Which is every coffee shop in every city On a day which is every day I picked up a magazine Which is every magazine Read a story, and then forgot it right away As you wThey say goldfish have no memory I guess their lives are much like mine And the little plastic castle Is a surprise every time And it's hard to say if they're happy But they don't seem much to mind From the shape of your shaved head I recognized your silhouette alked out of the sun and sat down And the sight of your sleepy smile Eclipsed all the other people As they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I said, look at you this morning You are, by far, the cutest But be careful getting coffee I think these people wanna shoot us Or maybe there's some kinda local competition here To see who can be the rudest People talk About my image Like I come in two dimensions Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind Like what I happen to be wearing The day that someone takes a picture Is my new statement for all of womankind And I wish they could see us now In leather bras and rubber shorts Like some ridiculous new team uniform For some ridiculous new sport Quick someone call the girl police And file a report In a coffee shop in a city Which is every coffee shop in every city On a day which is every day Peaches ( The Stranglers ) Strolling along minding my own business Well there goes a girl and a half She's got me going up and down She's got me going up and down Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Well I got the notion girl that you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours Spread it all over my peelin' skin baby That feels real good All this skirt lappin' up the sun Lap me up Why don't you come on and lap me up Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Well there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit 'Cause you and me woman We got a lotta things on our minds Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Will you just take a look over there Is she trying to get outta that clitares Liberation for women that's what I preach Preacher man Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches Oh shit, there goes the charabang Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here the whole summer Well what a bummer I can think of a lot worse places to be Like down in the streets Or down in the sewer Or even on the end of a skewer Just looking at the peaches Down on the beaches Just looking at the bodies Down on the beaches Just looking at the sun glasses Down on the beaches Just looking at all the peaches Down on the beaches Just looking at all the peaches Down on the beaches Down on the beaches Down on the beaches... Black And Gold ( Sam Sparro ) If the fish swam out of the ocean And grew legs and they started walking And the apes climbed down from the trees And grew tall and they started talking And the stars fell out of the sky And my tears rolled into the ocean And now I'm looking for a reason why You even set my world into motion 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really here Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold I look up into the night sky I see a thousand eyes staring back And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I feel the weight of something beyond them I don't see what I can feel If vision is the only validation Then most of my life isn't real 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really here Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold Black and, black and, black and, black and gold 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really here I don't wanna be either I wanna be, next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold Becoming A Jackal ( Villagers ) The most familiar room Every implement was leading to you And your homely sense of disarray Never once the same, always rearranged But things would never change In the space between the window frame Where the jackals preyed on every soul Where they tied you to a pole And stripped you of your clothes I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street 'Cause that's where the dream goes And each time they found fresh meat to chew I would turn away and return to you You would offer me your unmade bed Feed me till I'm fed and read me till I'm read But when the morning came You would catch me at the window again In an eyes wide open sleeping state Staring into space, with no look upon my face Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street 'Cause that's where the dream goes And when I grew older, when I grew bolder Out onto the streets I flew Released from your shackles I danced with the jackals And learned a new way to move So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears While I'm selling you my fears I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears) Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears) Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears) 'Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you) I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears) Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears) Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears) 'Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you) Pearl's A Singer ( Elkie Brooks ) Pearl's a singer She

Dreamwriting Dreamwriting Six AM winter's morning Twighlighting Looking down on the street from the fifth floor In this lonely hour Where the lights are dim And the babies are sleeping And so are you And I would too But I'm wake and I'm dreaming Catch the hour before the sun When I am modular Modular, modular, modular Catch the hour before it's gone I am so modular Modular, modular, modular Catch me now before it's gone Catch me now before it's gone Sleepwriting Eyes closed my mind goes wandering Yeah nightly Kicking sheets from my fevered body In this witching hour Where the curtains kiss And the babies are sleeping And so can you In a deep cocoon And you'll wake when you're ready Catch the hour before the sun Catch the hour before the sun
I'll Never Hide My Love Away I'll never hide my love away Not when I've nothing If I'm angry or scared I'll never hide my love away Not if it's dangerous Least when it's safe I'll never hide my love away I'll never hide my trust away Not if you're cruel It's not you, it's not me I'll never hide my trust away Pain needs a reason If it's shared, it can fade I'll never hide my trust away Deep in the dark Danken dregs of the day I imagine myself In a boat out to sea And in that boat There is no one but me And I imagine myself Feeling doomed Or feeling free If there's no oar Or if there's one Or if there's three If the horizon is just waves Crashing endlessly Against my boat Against my hopes Against my, oh dear me There's my thoughts Sailing away from me I'm here Just breathe Just breathe
The Dive Burgeoning weather Not just overhead Not just in the sky You were like jelly and leather Arms by your side Ten meters high Watching you look down So much to prove You steadied your mind You pressed your fingers Breathed a sigh Stepped into the sky If there was ever any time to fly If there was ever any time to cry If there was ever any time to dive It is now, it is now It is now, it is now Look at you there Sun on your wet skin Walking towards my open arms I thought I could die looking at you If there was ever any time to fly If there was ever any time to cry If there was ever any time to try If there was ever any time Pretty Lies It was a long-ass year Couldn't wait for it to end Full of loss and fear Couldn't wait for it to end And it opens my arms Opened my arms to so much change But it won't stop there It's the beginning of the end Of a difficult era, my friend, my friend We are ebbing tide Tower card Empire fall Pretty lies, pretty lies Tiny mind, tiny mind Pretty lies And I can't pretend There's only wrong or right 'Cause an answer lies between those two sides But I do hope we can make our peacе if we have to fight Don't tell mе what to do if I can (Pretty lies, pretty lies) Don't tell me what to do if I can (Tiny mind, tiny mind) Don't tell me what to do if I can I'll do it all Don't tell me what to do if I can (Pretty lies, pretty lies) Don't tell me what to do if I can (Tiny mind, tiny mind) Don't tell me what to do if I can I'll do it all, it all, it all, it all, it all

Big moon Praise this big white moon That shines on our roof Big and bright Like your eyes God took his time making you 'Cause he made you right Feeling the space between your fingers For a whole afternoon Is that the time Because you know us You move with the tide You always have You sway and glide The days we have are like gold dust Counting on stars And praying you'll stay Bleeding inside With the electricity in your smile Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Well you give me a new clear day You give me space And my hair stands on end When sometimes we dance in our bedroom And we laugh at ourselves Oh boy your lavish attention On me and no one else The days we have are like gold dust Counting on stars And praying you'll stay And bleeding inside With the electricity in your smile The electricity in your smile Well wow, look at that moon in the sky Isn't that a sight And I lie down beside you And turn off the light
Fairytale Of New York
( Live with Jack L ) It's Christmas Eve babe Down in the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So Happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When he first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys in the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last The boys in the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day I could have been someone So could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you And the boys in the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas Day
Hope There's Someone (Antony & The Johnsons / Live with Aidan Floatinghome and Tracey K)
Hope there's someone Who'll take care of me When I die, will I go Hope there's someone Who'll set my heart free Nice to hold when I'm tired There's a ghost on the horizon When I go to bed How can I fall asleep at night How will I rest my head Oh I'm scared of the middle place Between light and nowhere I don't want to be the one Left in there, left in there There's a man on the horizon Wish that I'd go to bed If I fall to his feet tonight Will allow rest my head So here's hoping I will not drown Or paralyze in light And godsend I don't want to go To the seal's watershed Hope there's someone Who'll take care of me When I die, Will I go Hope there's someone Who'll set my heart free Nice to hold when I'm tired
Just Can't Get Enough
( Just Can't Get Enough EP ) Well, when I'm with you baby, I go out of my head I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough All the things you do to me and everything you said I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough We slip and slide as we fall in love And I just can't seem to get enough, oh Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin We walk together, we're walking down the street I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough Every time I think of you I know we have to meet I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough It's getting hotter, it's our burning love And I just can't seem to get enough, oh And when it rains, you're shining down for me I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough Just like a rainbow you know you set me free I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough You're like an angel and you give me your love And I just can't seem to get enough, oh
The Ocean You are everything You are everything And I'm not running anymore You've pried me open Like a drawer I want for nothing Than is more This is the poets beauty The kind I dream of You have shook me to my core And I want more and more You are the ocean And the moon that controls it The proof and the reason of time The racing white horses All these feelings and forces The truth to believe in or find You are everything You are everything Yeah I know nothing's ever sure So hold me, Gala Salvador As if we're floating metaphor Within the poets beauty The kind I scream of You have pushed me to the core And I want more and more The waves are rolling like the Soothing by and by the Known white shore You are the ocean And the moon that controls it The proof and the reason of time The racing white horses All these feelings and forces The truth that I'm needing to find (The truth that I'm needing to find) (You are everything) You are everything You are everything
