[Verse]

Dm
London City, far from pretty
Dm/F
Two, zero, zero, five
  Dm
A lady down in Paddington
   Dm/F
Is fighting just to stay alive
Dm
Rhythmic beeps and blood stained sheets
    Dm/F
Our lady weeps, she's tired and frail
   Dm
To set the scene, we must rewind
    Dm/F              G6
The hands of time for Violet's tale
 
 
 
  Dm      Am      Dm      Am     
 
[Verse]

Dm
Violet was a silent girl
     Am
Grew up with violent starts
    Dm
Her mother was a drinker
        Am
And her father was a bastard
Dm
Every night he'd tuck her tight
    Am
But never left the room
     Dm
I'll spare you of the things he did
   Am   N.C.
Im sure her mother knew
 
[Verse]

Dm
Violet was a silent girl
    Bb              A
She moved out at sixteen
  Dm
A semi-detached council flat
Bb            A
Paid for by a welfare-scheme
Dm
Packing shelves at Tesco's
         Bb                A
Stacking jars like pickled bricks
    Dm
She met a boy named Stevie
       Bb  N.C.
And he was a little prick
 
[Verse]

Dm
Violet was a silent girl
    Am
And Violet she fell fast
    Dm
See Stevie was a wrongun
       Am
But he sure knew how to charm her
Dm
Every night he'd tuck her tight
    Am
But never left the room
Dm
History repeats itself
     Am                            Gm
He'd paint her black and blue and ah
    Am             Gm
She never stood a chance
    Am G   F     Em Dm
The de-vil comes to dance
 
[Interlude]

N.C.
"Violet, why you always so quiet?"
N.C.
On her bedroom door and he's irate
N.C.
He's been drinking and 

Smoking he's up late
N.C.
And he stands by her bedside, 

She shakes
N.C.
But her eyes stay shut
N.C.
"You f*cking sl*t! 

I know you're up!"
N.C.
And he pinches her eyelids 

And folds them up
N.C.
"Violet, why you lying to me Violet?"
N.C.
She stays silent, 

Things turn violent
N.C.                             
Thats the sound of his fists when 
                          Dm
They fall like a crashing pilot
                   
Hit like hailstones, 
Am
One to the collar bone, 

Full force, full blown
Dm
Blood splat, bone crack, 

Knick-knack-paddy-whack
Am                         N.C.
One to the jaw and a tooth spat, detached
N.C.
Fist connects and disconnects the bone
N.C.
A quick deflect to misdirect the blow
N.C.
But nonetheless his 

Punches met her throat
N.C.
Such a mess, he's left 

Her bruised and broke
N.C.
"Violet!? Why you always so 

Silent Violet?
N.C.
Why you such a little liar Violet?
N.C.
Do you think 

I want to do this Violet?"
N.C.
In character she stays silent
N.C.
"Well say something

 Violet!" - silence
N.C.
"f*cking say something 

Violet!" - silence
N.C.
"Wait, say something Violet"
N.C.
Not one word, 

She stays quiet
 
 
  Dm      Dm/F    Dm      Dm/F   
 
[Verse]

Dm
London City, far from pretty
Dm/F
Two, zero, zero, five
  Dm
A lady down in Paddington
   Dm/F
Is fighting just to stay alive
    Dm
The doctor in a state of shock
    Dm/F
Saw something here so very wrong
    Dm
See Violet, she was pregnant
     Dm/F
Poor Violet, she was nine months gone
 
[Verse]

Dm
Turning to the doctor
       F                 G
Violet broke her silence and she cried
   Dm
If I'm to die right here tonight
       F           G
Please let my baby stay alive
    Dm
The doctor soon regained composure
F                  G
Called the surgeon to come in
   Dm
As Violet's world turned to black
    F               
The curtains closed, 
    G
The lights went dim in
 
[Verse]

Dm
London City, far from pretty
Bb       A
Two zero zero five
Dm
A lady down in Paddington
     F                 G
Just lost the fight to stay alive
  Dm
A tragedy, or miracle
   F                 G
It happened on these very streets
    Dm
Two twins are lying side by side
N.C.
A girl named Jenny
N.C.
And a boy named Screech
