    Mammoth 22 track album recorded on Saturdays January-July 1993 and released on Ruth Miller's tiny independent label Rutland Records. Although the songs have a happy jangly feel to them, the lyrics reflect ordinary female experience that includes unfulfillment, loss, bullying, questioning and the class struggle. John Peel played tracks on his show and invited Po! do do a session for his BBC Radio 1 show.

lyrics

Danny’s girl licks a chocolate ice-cream
Danny’s girl stares at love upon the screen
She wears a yellow dress
Bloody varnish on her tiny nails
And though her neck’s a mess
She smiles the smile that never fails

“I don’t want you to catch my eye tonight”
“I don’t want you to catch my eye tonight”
In the Spring, we’ll be happy and free
In the Spring, we’ll have honey for tea.

Danny’s girl looking out the window
Danny’s girl watching all the stars go
She wears a yellow bruise
Lying by the purple wall
And when she goes to sleep
She doesn’t dream at all.

“I don’t want you to catch my eye tonight”
“I don’t want you to catch my eye tonight”
In the Spring, we’ll be happy and free
In the Spring, we’ll have honey for tea.

Danny says he doesn’t want his baby
Danny says that he would leave her maybe
She throws a yellow plate
Smashed against the purple wall
She recognises fate
Every time he comes to call.
“I don’t want you to catch my eye tonight”
“I don’t want you to catch my eye tonight”
In the Spring, we’ll be happy and free
In the Spring, we’ll have honey for tea.

Themes are often dark yet the tunes are singable, jangly and very English-sounding.First formed in 1987 with punk roots and an indie-pop style, PO! is not a typical band. After a Peel session and an NME single of the week, Ruth gave it all up 1999-2016 but the band are back with new songs! ... more
