Gentleman Jack
Behind her back she’s Gentleman Jack
A Yorkshire lady of renown
Ever so fine, won’t toe the line
Speak her name, 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 and full o'clout
She played the fellas at their game
Sharp of mind, she’s one of a kind
Devilish ways the men couldn’t tame
Hidden away, revealed today
4 million words in diaries found
Wants exposed in a baffling code
Lusty yearnings all leather bound

Devilish ways the men couldn’t tame
Hidden away, revealed today
Loaded words in diaries found
Wants exposed in a baffling code
Lusty letters all leather bound

Wake Up Calls
by Cosmo Sheldrake
supported by 4 fans who also own “Gentleman Jack Official Single + Live Version”
Lovely exploration of how birdsong connects us to specific places, times of day, and ourselves—and of course how birds have inspired lovely music, from Mozart to CS and beyond. I also appreciate that rather than dwelling on the sorrow of the many bird voices that are being silenced by human greed and ignorance, Cosmo instead focuses here on the joy listening to birds can bring us—which ought to inspire us to care more about and for them.
