about

Vanilla’s new song “Ten Bells” is set in Victorian Whitechapel, and tells the tale of a prostitute who evades the Ripper to become the toast of Mayfair. It’s also the 7th song in the ever-growing Vanilla “Sideshow” album!

The “Sideshow” album will grow from one song to many over the next year as a digital-only album, and when it’s complete it will be released on CD or as an LP.

lyrics

London Pavers all look the same, ten bells ringing on the old brick lane
London pavers all look the same, ten bells ringing on the old brick lane

Mary goes out working for the night.
For little money, nothing’s seeming right.

Not knowing where her fortunes lay or knowing if it's her last day of poverty or life.

Who thought Fate would offer her a ride? For a taste of grape or a glimpse of the other side.

But fortune showed her mighty hand, she headed west down the Strand. And so in Mayfair she arrived.

A poor placed bet or flip of coin, you’ll never know who you’ll join.
That toss of fate won’t elevate the friends she left behind.
Mary is never going back. She had enough of church and the Union Jack
She now lives whole on the dole in her happy Mayfair home.

Now life is quiet and far too much a bore.
She is too at peace wanting something more.
Be content with what you have, keep looking west and don’t be mad because Mary of Mayfair has arrived.

London Pavers all look the same, ten bells ringing on the old brick lane
London pavers all look the same, ten bells ringing on the old brick lane
