Came on glorious all wrapped up in your sheets Beneath the noise there was
Silence
And what was left was ours to surprise us
And you could say that you could say that you could say that it was my
Knowing But I never knew, no I never knew, no I never knew where this would
Be going
All the stories people tell and all the tales I heard from myself
It's best you know or else get told the soft flesh that beats 'neath your
Breast Beneath the noise there's only silence
And all that's left comes on to surprise us
And you could blame it you could blame it
You could blame it on my knowing
But I never knew, no I never knew,
No I never knew where this would be going
I was lonely as the moon who longs for the sun to come by
I'd wait and wait and wait and wait but never seem to share the same sky
Beneath the noise there was always silence
But what is left comes on to surprise us
And I could say that I could swear that I could swear that it was my
Knowing But I never knew, no I had no clue, no I never knew, where this
Would be going
Elizabeth Caroline Orton (born 14 December 1970) is an English musician, known for her "folktronica" sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit, Andrew Weatherall, Red Snapper and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s. Her UK/US first solo album, Trailer Park, received much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the BRIT Award-winning album Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, Daybreaker. Her 2006 album, Comfort of Strangers, was followed by a break during which Orton gave birth to her daughter and collaborated with the British guitarist Bert Jansch. Orton returned with Sugaring Season in 2012, which moved towards a purer acoustic sound, followed by a return to electronic music with Kidsticks, released in 2016.
Orton's music has been featured in the movies How to Deal and Vanilla Sky, and also in the TV series Felicity, Charmed, Dawson's Creek, Roswell, Grey's Anatomy and Manifest, providing her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.
