    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

Put your swollen head on my lap
And I’ll scare off the bad dreams
The devil tries to enter at night
In disguise and the girl screams
He tries to touch you
But the vision is gone
Now everybody wonders what’s wrong.

There’s something in the back of her mind
Makes her scared of the big book
The monster hands are holding it now
At the place where she mustn’t look
There’s nothing sacred
Flesh is ever so weak
Now they’re trying to make that little girl speak.

There’s a smell of evil in Jacqueline’s house
China on the table and bibles all around
Everybody sits up straight when Father is about
Everybody shuts their mouth in case the Truth comes out.
