Garlands slide images
These slides are photographs taken when I revisited the former gardens of both my grandmothers.
I have created an A4 leaflet to go with this slide projection, containing an essay about both these women and their gardens.
Anyone requesting a copy of this leaflet please email a name and address to janienicoll@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks.

Garlands lyrics
Cocteau Twins Garlands lyrics
Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in a rosary
Die in a rosary (x4)
Well, with these brave garlands
They never find out for her
They never find I'm lying
Well, with these etchings
Cravings convince
My cravings commence
Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in a rosary
Die in a rosary (x4)
Well, with these scarve's scars
Cravings convince
My cravings commence
Well, with these splint's scars
I'm all that to you
I'm all that's who
Garlands evergreen
Forget-me-not wreaths
Chaplets see me drugged
I could die in a rosary
Die in a rosary (x4)
Well, with these scarve's scars
Cravings convince
My cravings commence
Well, with these splint's scars
I'm all that to you
I'm all that's who
Robin Guthrie is a genius
You don't feel damned
between the sunrise and sunset
You're damned well panicky
I know the rainy days
Please them or run on the turf
You could be raising money
with your momma
You might be sure when you're
round and dressed up with kid
Take a toast to that, imbibe
you're alone
Men are so nice
(Lays can be)
Roses may fly
Men are so useful
(He's a flirt)
Men are so useful
(Reflection beauty)
Men are so nice
He pleases me fine
(Reflection beauty)
Men are so useful
(Be able to feel)
Don't feel damned between the sunrise and sunset
You're damned well panicky, I know the rainy days
Please them or run on the turf
(You could be)
You could be raising money with your momma
(You could be)
You might be sure when you're round and dressed up with kid
Take a toast to that, imbibe, you're alone
Men are so nice
(Lays can be)
He pleases me fine
Men are so useful
(He's a flirt)
Men are so useful
(Reflection beauty)
Men are so nice
He pleases me fine
(Reflection beauty)
Men are so useful
Beautiful hands us no way
lies a means of love
(Men are so nice)
On sounds and guard the stone
and bed had a law
(He pleases me fine)
Answers written and I reason
(He pleases me fine)
In the reign of sex, blown more
than it's pleased to be
(Fine, fine)
He's a beauty affection, oooh
(x3

Song To The Siren
This Mortal Coil
"Song To The Siren" (written by Tim Buckley)
On the floating, shipless, oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me,
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am
waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
broken lovelorn on your rocks.
For you sang "Touch me not, touch me not,
Come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Here me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me,
Let me enfold you."
Here I am, Here I am, waiting to hold you."
The song was first featured on Tim Buckley's 1970 album "Starsailor", and it has been widely covered by many artists including George Michael. Tim Buckley gave an early performance of the song on the final episode of The Monkees TV show which aired on March 25, 1968.
This Mortal Coil was a musical pop project of Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of 4AD Records. The project brought together key 4AD artists, as well as others not signed to the label, under an umbrella name. Among others, This Mortal Coil featured contributions from Howard Devoto, Colourbox, Dead Can Dance and, pivotally, Cocteau Twins. Between 1983 and 1991 This Mortal Coil released three albums—It'll End in Tears, Filigree & Shadow, and Blood—each of which consists largely of atmospheric interpretations of songs by 1970s artists such as Alex Chilton, Chris Bell, Roy Harper, Gene Clark, and Tim Buckley.
Two tracks from the first album, It'll End In Tears, feature vocals by Elizabeth Fraser of the Scottish group Cocteau Twins, who also recorded for 4AD. The better-known of these is the ethereal cover of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren", which created considerable renewed interest in Buckley at a time when his albums were not widely available.
The name "This Mortal Coil" is drawn from William Shakespeare's Hamlet and is a poetic expression referring to the earthly condition.
