TONY BENN’S TRIBUTE TO EMILY DAVISON written and sung by Reg Meuross

Reg makes songs with the sensibility of a great storyteller. In 'Tony Benn's tribute to Emily Davison' you can visualise the shady corridors of Parliament as the determined campaigner of women's equality summons all her courage to find a place to spend the night in the dark crypt so that the next morning she can proudly announce her address as The House of Commons. And 100 years later you can imagine the wise politician surreptitiously screwing a plaque to the door of the chapel where his hero slept while the current leader of the opposition keeps watch.  

She slips through the doorway
Away from the crowds down the stairs – she steals through the night
Just a plain looking woman
Concealed in her coat and her cares – pursuing her right

In a tangle of corridors
Furtively turning the locks – the day growing dim
Footsteps in the distance
She hears the men coming her way – the last door gives in

There in the dark with the mops and the brooms
She opens her handkerchief makes herself room
A small piece of bread and a small piece of cheese
And a jar filled with water between her knees

By the light of a candle she reads a small book
and she waits – and she waits

On the third day of April
Nineteen eleven she woke – and she gave her address
‘These houses of commons
houses of men and now me’ – she smoothed down her dress

‘I’m not asking for favours
Just claiming what’s rightfully mine’ – she cried to the world
‘To rebel against tyrants
Is to show your allegiance to god’ – she cried as she fell

A hundred years later he slips down the stairs
And he senses her purpose he breathes in her air
He’s made her a sign which he nails to the door
He knows the equality Emily gave her life for

He lights a small candle to honour her name
And he waits – and he waits

The ocean made the sound, the forest collected it and the mountains gave it away, they found it dancing down the river and took it back to the fire, where the rhythm got louder and the melody rose up and wound itself around inside the smoke until it circled the stars and sang the story back to us and we danced, how we danced. - LC2020
