about

Words & Music by O'Hooley & Tidow


This was an interesting commission from The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce @ St Bride’s Church, London. Polly Nichols (1845 – 1888) was born 100 yards away from the church, grew up in this parish, marrying there in 1864. Her life tragically ended when she became the first of five female victims of the unknown Victorian serial killer referred to as ‘Jack the Ripper’.

lyrics

Heartbeat refrain
Punctuates the sky
Laid in constellation
Against a shifting tide
Body bruised black
Had to comply

Polly
Not what she seems
Clutching at dreams
Removed from the scene

You pushed out five
Only to find
You’re the first of five
In a different line
Did you contemplate
As a fleeting child
What would end your life?
