Sort of live set I made for Graham Dunning's show "Fractal Meat on a Spongy Bone" on NTS radio last year, featuring some covers and new material I've been doing live but never properly recorded or released.

Liveish set for Fractal Meat On A Spongy Bone (NTS Radio)- 25th October 2016

I am Anna Trapnel the daughter of WIlliam Trapnel, Shipwright of Poplar. My Mother died 9 years ago, the last words she uttered were: "Double your spirit upon my child" these words she uttered in eagerness 3 times and spoke no more. I was trained up with the book and writing in Stepney, and St. Olaves, Southwark.

A great hubbub in the city, the shops commanded to be shut up

I saw upon the sea ships burning, bones and flesh sticking upon the sides of the ships

17 days i eat nothing but two broyled herrings and drunk water and small beer

Those sparkling ones, those notioners, oh do write down how he will make them rue
come write also that great powers shall from off their thrones be cast
Let pens make known what is said that they shall expire and die
Oh write also that colonels and captains they shall down
be not afraid to pen also that we will them cast them down
because they have not honoured us
they have not paid their vows
but only blustering oaks have been
great tall branches and boughs
we will reckon with them all
they have not brought forth righteousness
or relief to the poor

Now is a measuring time that thou art measuring thy own temple, not the world, but thine own
there is a little silence from trumpets and battles
and now is a time of silence
Oh but there is a time of the shooting of bullets!
and they will come forth again!
oh that our temple might not fall to pieces
the stones that are joined to the corner stone
that they may not have the hammer come upon them
no nor iron tool come into thy work

Oh let us be willing to part with such things as may hinder the prosperity of our soul
make us out of love with the wine and the feasts below
and bring us love with our liquors and flagons from heaven
Oh but our veins are too full of blood before
that they have no room
but to cast the overflowing blood
can these dry bones live?
give thy handmaid leave to tell thee that thy children are like dead bones now in the Valley
but we can make them live
we can bring nerves and bones and knit them together again
let us not be silent till they be brought out of the valley, out of the slimy pit!

Oh how beholding is this tumultuous city to our inheritance!

The poor, the fatherles, the widow are our companions

We will not judge what you do
when you meet and speak and argue together
but will follow you to your secret places
your houses, your callings, your offices

It is not now a time to raise states and names and great things
for we are now pulling down
they will set up their beacons on their own hills
how do people set up their posts by their posts

oh that thy children should drink up inflaming wine, not like our inflaming wine, for thats a beautiful inflaming but an inflaming to redness and burning

it is now much, that great ones do not tremble
how do they think that are in high places to manage their proceedings aright if they have not preference of us with them
I will rather have all the armies of the world against me than want the presence of us!
if the true fear of us wrought such effects in you why not now?
We cannot endure hypocrites
Now that you come to have fine houses, warm beds, sweet meats, do you now pay your vows to us?
everlasting burning shall come forth in a righteousness against you
that have put your shoulders to a power that is against us
