Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?
Don’t walk in the dark
Don’t walk through the park
Don’t ever walk alone
Let us know when you’re home
Take the lit routes
Always walk the long way round
Cross the road if you need to
Don’t look down
Walk with confidence
Look hard, hood up
Swagger like you know what you’re doing
Shoulders up
Skirts are easy access and heels make you slow
A ponytail is an absolute no no
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?
Do not make eye contact
But make sure you could identify them after the attack
Get a marked cab
Don’t get a taxi on your own
Avoid kerb-crawlers but be visible from the road
Promise me you’ll get the bus
I’ll come and meet you at the bus-stop
You’ll be safe on a bike until you get knocked off
You’ll be safe with your friends
Maybe they could drop you off
If you are confronted speak slowly and calmly
If you are confronted scream as loud as you can
If you are confronted the police will take it seriously
If you are confronted the police won’t give a fuck
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?
Keys between your fingers
Alarm ready
A lighter and a can will make a firebomb
Steady
Remember your karate lessons
Self-defence
Pepper spray’s illegal, but you can use deodorant
Type 999 into your phone
But never have your phone on show
Listening to music might make you feel safe
But we all know wearing headphones, is how you get raped
So call me when you’re home
Text me when you’re safe
Get a guy to walk with you and don’t be out too late
I know you want the freedom just to walk around at night
But the streets aren’t safe for you so stay inside
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear?
Feel the fear?
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Don’t be scared
It’s not a big deal
Don’t let it change the way you feel
Don’t be scared
Keep your head on
Don’t let it stop you having fun
Advice for women
Get it here
Do you feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear
feel the fear

DIANA
02:45

I am Diana, hunter of men
I bring daylight to the darkest corners
I am not weak
I carry the weight of women on my shoulders
Brave-hearted mother of two
I am here for you
Brave-hearted mother of two
I am you
And all the girls who dare to ride the bus to school
We are not fair game
We are not easy prey
Don’t you dare depict me that way
I am Diana, hunter of men
I bring daylight to the darkest corners
I am not weak
I carry the weight of women on my shoulders
My arrows seek the hearts of men
Men who hit and hurt again and again
My arrows seek the hearts of men
Men who do not interrupt, you've let this go on long enough
Enough now
You all think you’re so tough
My pistol will prick your confidence
A gunshot to make deaf ears ring true
Two stones against a tide of blue
A gunshot to make deaf ears ring true
Two stones against a tide of blue
We are not fair game
We are not easy prey
We are not fair game
We are not easy

I WOULD LIKE TO
04:42
|

I would like to be afraid of the dark
I would rather be afraid of the dark
Than afraid of men
Who I can’t see
Waiting for me
A hand over my mouth
Picture something better
I would like to be frightened of ghosts
I would rather be frightened of ghosts
Than frightened of men
In the dark
Waiting for me
Pulling me into a car
Another body in the river, but it’s swimming
I would like to be planning a party
I would rather be planning a -
Than looking around
In case there’s a man -
I’m an easy target
Another view from another mountain
I would like to listen to music
I would rather listen to music
Than to footsteps
In case someone’s coming
I would like to walk through the park
I would rather walk through the park
Than stick to the road
And I can walk alone
I would like to wander alone
Want to feel the road and get lost tonight

We didn’t want to carry knives
We didn’t want to take it in our own hands
But we don’t trust your hands
Anymore
We didn’t want to carry knives
We didn’t want to take it in our own hands
But we don’t trust your hands
Anymore
Your eyes know how to eat me
I want to say I’m angry
I want to tell you leave me alone
But it might make it worse
I know that you’ll run faster
I know that you are stronger
'Cause that's what you tell me
But I don't believe you
We didn’t want to carry knives
We didn’t want to take it in our own hands
But we don’t trust your hands
Anymore
We didn’t want to carry knives
We didn’t want to take it in our own hands
But we don’t trust your hands
Anymore
We don’t know what you’re looking for
You’re looking in the wrong place
The answer isn’t in my cunt
I can’t make it better
You look like you’re in pain
You look lost, you look insane
I feel sorry for you, I do
But come any closer and I’ll stab stab stab stab you
Fight flight freeze, don't freeze froze but please
Fight flight freeze, fight flight freeze,
Fight flight freeze, don't freeze froze but please
We didn’t want to carry knives
We didn’t want to take it in our own hands
But we don’t trust your hands
Anymore
We didn’t want to carry knives
We didn’t want to take it in our own hands
But we don’t trust your hands, your eyes, your tongues
Anymore

FEMICIDE
03:11
|
|||
Not another isolated incident
Not another unfortunate coincidence
The killer was a man and the victim was a woman
Murder doesn’t choose victims at random
Try to identify the pattern
The killer was a man and the victim was a woman
When a man kills a woman
Because she’s a woman
It’s Femicide
When a man kills a woman
Because she’s a woman
It’s Femicide
Our killers weren’t all drunk
Our killers weren’t all ill
Our killers weren’t all men, but most of them
Most of them, most of them were
If you count how many women
Were killed by men last year
It looks like we’re at war, are we at war?
Soldiers die
At least they’re wearing armour
Soldiers die
At least they carry guns
Women die
At the hands of strangers
Women die
At the hands of their loved ones
Violence breeds violence but
Women breed you
Silence breeds silence breeds
Nothing new
Violence breeds violence but
Women breed you
Silence breeds silence breeds
silence breeds silence breeds silence
When a man kills a woman
Because she’s a woman
It’s Femicide
When a man kills a woman
Because she’s a woman
It’s Femicide

THE DARKEST CORNERS
02:46
|
|||
We want to dance in the darkest corners
We want to breathe in the inky night air
We want to seek out the darkest of spaces
Dancing in black light with no one else there
What could we do if the night was ours
To bend and break
To stretch and reshape?
Ours to bathe in, search and discover
A sanctuary, a place to recover
(What would we do) We’d run up the walls
(What would we do) We’d lie on the grass
(What would we do) We’d float on the river
(What would we do) We’d dive in the lake
(What would we do) We’d move very slowly
(What would we do) Marking our footsteps
(What would we do) Tracing the outlines
Of new routes to take
What could we do if the night was ours
To bend and break
To stretch and reshape?
Ours to bathe in, search and discover
A sanctuary, a place to recover
What could we do
if I wasn’t scared
What could we do
and I wasn’t scared
What could we do
and I wasn’t scared
What could we do
and I wasn’t scared
Don’t be scared keep your head on
Don’t be scared keep your head on
Don’t be scared keep you head on
Don’t be scared keep your head on
