PATCHWORK GRACE - A band that clash credibility with theatre... The result of a Kate Bush, Souxsie Souix, Nikki Sixx and Kurt Cobain orgy!

In 2008 They signed a second deal with BUT! Records and recorded and released the highly acclaimed, award winning "Milk Teeth" album, a download single and video for "SOAP" and in 2008 released the first official single "The Lovecats".
At the 2008 PureRawk awards Patchwork Grace walked away with;

and so it goes...

Patchwork Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to tell you but now it's too late
And as I walk alone the skies turn gray
I'm dying to tell you coz there's no other way
You were my little baby girl, I knew all your fears
Such joy to hold you in my arms and kiss away your tears
But now you're gone there's only pain and nothing I can do
Can't tell you what I did, I wasn't there
Set sail for shores unknown, going nowhere
They gave me everything, I wanted you
I have to end it now to be there too
You were my little baby girl, I knew all your fears
Such joy to hold you in my arms and kiss away your tears
But now you're gone there's only pain and nothing I can do
And I don't wanna live this life if I can't live for you
The lyrics to the song Nancy by Patchwork Grace depict a conflicted and sorrowful individual who is struggling with the duality of love and hate. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of regret and pain, as the individual longs to express their love for someone who is no longer there. The lyrics suggest that the individual may have done something to contribute to their separation, and they are now plagued with guilt and remorse. As they walk alone, the skies turn gray, symbolizing the darkness and melancholy that has consumed them. The lyrics suggest that they wish they had told this person how they felt before it was too late, but they were unable to express their feelings at the time. The lyrics allude to the fact that this person was once their "little baby girl," and that they were intimately familiar with their fears and anxieties. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing and despair, as the individual feels that they cannot "live this life" without the person they love.
