about

'Ladies' was inspired by Downton Abbey and the
Ladies of Llangollen story. It's about repressed feelings
and the love between two Ladies, one of whom is about
to be married. It's set in Edwardian times when there was
some liberation but repression still reigned.
I imagined the two Ladies having afternoon tea
together and one is telling the other that she is
about to be married – an arranged marriage,
and they must not see each other anymore.

lyrics

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
