    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

When the sky is just the colour that it always is
My room feels just small enough for what I need
I need a little time just on my own
The trains go
They rattle through my very soul

I won’t be standing there long
I’ll still be singing this song
I won’t be sitting alone
Trains still come and they still go.

I can’t go North
I can’t go South
I can’t go East
I can’t go back
I can’t go out
I can’t go round
I can’t go far
I can’t go down.

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
