Thea Gilmore

Concrete

Thea Gilmore

Biography:

Thea Eve Gilmore (born 25 November 1979, Oxford, England, to Irish parents) is a British female singer-songwriter. She began her career working in a recording studio, where she was discovered by her now long-time collaborator, producer and sometime co-songwriter Nigel Stonier. Gilmore released her first album, Burning Dorothy, as a teenager in 1998 and over the course of the next four years, released increasingly well-received albums that earned her a reputation in the UK music press but no chart success.

Em C
November in a rainstorm, the truest truth I ever heard
D B7
The sound of babies crying in a hospital ward
Em C
Oh, like a bed of rushes, they spread love out on the concrete floor
D B7 C
Names, and dates, and faces I really can't remember anymore

Em C
We could hardly tell the difference between one year and another
D B7
Sun like pouring whiskey, snow like shedding skins of lovers
Em C
And, I grew up with magic; free and wild as bindweed
D B7 C
Pushing for the boundary, pushing through the edges of the concrete

G G* Em
I'm the girl that bought a round-trip cross the Rubicon
B7 C Em
And I'm not sure that even I know where I'm coming from

Em C
Sentimental tango when I was just fourteen
D B7
I could hear Astaire and Rogers tap their way across the screen
Em C
Oh, bullied and belittled, until the sun set in the concrete
D B7 C
I wore my sister's black skirt, all dressed up for Halloween

Em C
We could hardly tell the difference between the shouting and the quiet
D B7
It was the path of least resistance to stage my own private riot
Em C
And the walls tumbled like Babel, down around my feet
D B7 C
Rhyme came in deliverance rising through the wreckage and the concrete

G G* Em
I'm the girl that bought a round-trip cross the Rubicon
B7 C Em
I'm not sure that even I know where I'm coming from

Em C
For a girl who loves her words, yeah, she loves her silence more
D B7
Found a better example of what hearts and tongues are for
Em C
There is truth in your arm's love, there is truth in this song
D B7 C
There is truth in the concrete and the nails that our lives are built upon
