about

We wrote this a while ago, but nothing has changed. Violence against women increases, misogyny ignored. My Mother, my Daughter, my Wife, my Sister, all are more than my equal, will they ever be safe?

lyrics

You bore the pain. through history,
the art of modern medicine cannot relieve your misery
And we share the joy, not the heavy sadness after,
this will not be shared or heard above their party laughter

Equal, you may be Equal,
Will you ever be safe in a mans world?
Equal, you may be Equal,
will you ever be safe in a mans world?

You have the rights and hold the keys
(Whilst) Ignorance and arrogance cannot destroy your mystery
But who has the joy, as breathless sadness grasps her
This will not be heard or shared above their party laughter
---------------------------------------------------------------------

“I run here every day, but I wouldn’t do it after dark”

We mouth the words miming deeds with passion
Safety and Equality, are silenced by inaction
