Behind her back she’s Gentleman Jack
A Yorkshire lady of renown
She’s ever so fine, but she won’t toe the line
Upon her name the gentlemen frown
At Shibden Hall she had them all
The fairer sex fell under her spell
Dapper and bright, she held them tight
Handsome Anne seduced them well
Gentleman Jack, oh Gentleman Jack
Watch your back, you’re under attack
Their husbands are coming, you’d better start running
For nobody likes a Jack-the-Lass
Jack-the-lass, Jack-the-Lass
No-one likes a Jack-the-Lass
The code is cracked, your bags are packed
The knives are out for Gentleman Jack
Proud and stout with standing and clout
She played the fellas at their game
Ambitious of mind, she’s one of a kind
Her devilish ways the men couldn’t tame
Hidden away, revealed today
4 million words in diaries found
Motives exposed in a baffling code
Romantic yearnings all leather bound
Listened to this album driving home the night lockdown was announced so I wouldn't be alone at uni and it really uplifted me on the journey. Every time I listen to it now I'm reminded of how surreal the experience was and how everything was so scary and uncertain and I wasn't even going to be able to hug my mum for a couple of weeks when I got home, but something about this album just felt so optimistic and comforting. Leaves such a warm feeling despite reminding me of an uncertain time. emilyra99
