Patrick Talbot Ortense Blue has managed to create a compelling universe with that debut EP, something that is dark yet strangely uplifting, with a sense of poetry and delicate arrangements that are strikingly beautiful. Favorite track: Hammer and Chisel.

Ladies 02:57
We'll never be more than friends She said to she longingly in the hotel over tea We'll never be more than friends Your boyfriend is your sweet revenge She said to she, hurtfully the china cup was rattling Your boyfriend is your sweet revenge The horses are in their frame The family is gathering the marriage will be happening The horses are in their frame We'll never be more than friends She said to she defiantly and turned towards her limousine We'll never be more than friends

Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, not gonna listen packing my bag Gotta cover my back as I leave now You’re a package on my doorstep Wrapped in a note saying do not open You’re a thief in the daylight Laugh at my jokes then you take what’s mine But you can take it all back Put it all back in your bag now I’m taking me back Packing my bag and I’m leaving Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, I’m not gonna listen Gonna take me away you can stay there locked in your cage Hey hey hey hey eh And you can tell me that you’re sorry As I’m stepping through the holes that appear in your story Say it to my face see the crease that appears with a look of distaste, cos I’m taking me back gonna put my heart back in my bag now I’m taking me back Taking me back and I’m leaving Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, so I’m not gonna listen Gonna take me away and I’ll leave you locked in your cage, hey If I had time, I would be having a clear out Pull apart our baggage, take what’s mine And if I had time, I would be having a clear out, throw away the memories of our life and if I had time, leave a little something of mine hanging on that mirror, on the right over my black eye Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, so I’m not gonna listen see me packing my bag I’ve gotta cover my back as I leave now Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, I’m not gonna listen gonna take me away, and I’ll leave you locked in the cage Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, said I’m not gonna listen gonna take me away, and I’ll leave you locked in the cage Hammer & Chisel Got my tools in the bag, not gonna listen taking me back taking me back and i’m leaving

Cold 02:52
We all walked through the green door of this tiny terraced house us three together no more school days for us now we are freshers so let’s party on Sing it loud, raise it high, throw our clothes on the floor, no more rules in our life, and We dragged ourselves to lectures and came home just after One Found you sitting, on your own in the front room, not even dressed yet I said “we’re the lazy ones” Sing it loud raise it high throw our clothes, on the floor, no more rules in our life, but you said I’m Cold, Cold All we ever hear you say Cold, Cold So we just left you there We ordered pizza, and two massive boxes came but you ate nothing so I joked that’s why your Cold, Cold All we ever hear you say Cold, Cold all we ever hear you say You don’t go to parties, you wont leave that floor and you’re on a go slow to every invite you say I can’t I’m just too cold, Cold, Cold All we ever hear you say Cold, Cold So we just left you there You saw the doctor, when you started shouting out, talking to windows long nights sitting there for hours we would whisper what’s she doing now? Sing it loud, raise it high, throw our clothes on the floor no more rules in our life Cold, Cold All we ever hear you say Cold, Cold So we just left you there Cold, Cold All we ever hear you say Cold, Cold Sorry we just left you there so cold
