Album Review: Laura Marling - 'I Speak Because I Can' (Virgin)
The growing pains of an old soul make for compelling and powerful music
What’s in a haircut? Plenty, if we’re to believe the hype surrounding the release of new-folk starlet Laura Marling ’s second album. In the promo clip for single ‘Devil’s Spoke’ , the one-time possessor of a pixie-blonde crop beyond compare appears glum-faced, hair scraped back into a mousy bun. Scrubbed and sullen-looking, she has the seen-it-all air of an institutionalised...

Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can Lyrics
Laura Marling - Rambling Man Lyrics
Oh, naive little me
Asking what things you have seen
You're vulnerable in your head
You'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead
Laura Marling - Made By Maid Lyrics
They dance like sirens
Hoping the sun would come out again
And I was born in the fog of that day
Could they hear a babe over all the faith?
Laura Marling - Alpha Shallows Lyrics
He could fall and she can weep but as holy are my feet
And hard with mention but dear, they may not speak
We fell tight when there is tension
And our eyes could make us weak
Laura Marling - Devil's Spoke Lyrics
I might be a part of this
Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witness me
I'm alone him and me
Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can Lyrics
My husband left me last night
Left me a poor and lonely wife
I cooked the meals and he got the life
And now I'm just out for the rest of my time
Laura Marling - Goodbye England Lyrics
You were so smart then, in your jacket and coat
My softest red scarf was warming your throat
Winter was on us at the end of my nose
But I never love England more than when covered in snow
Laura Marling - What He Wrote Lyrics
Forgive me, Hera, I cannot stay
He cut out my tongue, there is nothing to say
Love me, oh Lord, he threw me away
He laughed at my sins in his arms I must stay
Laura Marling - Darkness Descends Lyrics
You're holding bits of Styrofoam
With your face painted on to your friends
You listen to them whine and moan
About everything you can't understand
Laura Marling - Hope In The Air Lyrics
There is a man that I know
For seventeen years he never spoke
Guess he had nothing to say
He opened his mouth on Judgment Day
Laura Marling - Blackberry Stone Lyrics
Well, I own this field and I wrote this sky
And I have no reason to reason with you
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered
