Penrose has made several attempts to break into the music industry. She has released two singles – "Where Did Our Love Go?" (1996) and "Don't Wanna Be Alone" (2000) – neither of which was especially successful. In 2002 she reached the final of A Song for Europe (the competition to select the UK's Eurovision Song Contest entry) but did not win. She has also sung a number of times on Heartbeat.
Penrose has several times expressed a desire to try new things, but has always returned to Heartbeat. In 2006, she signed a new contract with the show, thought to be worth £100,000. However, as of 2009, the future of the show is in doubt, and it is uncertain whether any more episodes will be made.
In 2007, Penrose came second in the third series of Comic Relief Does Fame Academy on BBC1, beaten by reportedly approximately 5.76 million votes by Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. In 2008 she released an aerobics DVD.
In July 2010, she was a contestant on the BBC programme Celebrity MasterChef, but she was eliminated at the first hurdle after serving up uncooked liver.
She is married to TV presenter Mark Simpkin, with two sons, Jake (born 10 September 2003), and Freddy Jay (born 8 August 2008). She has an older brother called Paul and a long-lost sister Julie, whom she met for the first time only in 2001
S.O.S.
Tricia Penrose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to reach for you. but you have closed my mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice. It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me S.O.S.?
The love you gave me. nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out. I wish I understood
What happened to our love? It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me S.O.S.?
The love you gave me. nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry on?
The lyrics of Tricia Penrose’s song “S.O.S.” talk about a relationship that has gone awry. The singer is searching for the happy days of their past, but finds them harder and harder to find. They try to reach out to their partner, but their mind is closed off. The singer is confused about what happened to their love and wishes they could understand. They recall how nice and good things used to be, but now it’s all gone.
The singer is left feeling alone, even when their partner is standing near. They once felt alive, but now something has died, leaving them feeling lost. They try to make sense of it all, but again, they cannot understand what happened to their love.
The chorus of the song is a plea for help – a cry for “S.O.S.”. The singer is asking their partner if they can hear their cries for help, as nothing else can save them but the love that they once shared. They are struggling to continue on without their partner, and wonder how they can carry on when they are gone.
Overall, “S.O.S.” is a heart-wrenching song about a love that has been lost, and the desperation to bring it back.
