Thea Eve Gilmore (born 25 November 1979, Oxford, England, to Irish parents) is a British female singer-songwriter. She began her career working in a recording studio, where she was discovered by her now long-time collaborator, producer and sometime co-songwriter Nigel Stonier. Gilmore released her first album, Burning Dorothy, as a teenager in 1998 and over the course of the next four years, released increasingly well-received albums that earned her a reputation in the UK music press but no chart success.

Am Three PM F Blue as a roadsign C With a bag and some cheap wine G The suns in my eyes Am Between F The smoke trails of aircraft C The kite tails and light shafts G There's a language in the sky Am There are bones F Living [Hiding] under the viaduct C Sleeping [Sweeping] down by the railway line G Making wagers with the day Am There's a rumour F Dirty as a chimney stack C Quiet as roadkill G On the northbound carriageway F And who's gonna raise a hand G When all we were taught to do was dance F Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche

Am Well they sold you F Back your outrage C In a neat little shrink-wrap G And a beautiful face Am And you think F That you've found your purpose C While they've been trailing the breadcrumbs G Of a watertight case Am So you're shouting F But you're shouting softly C So no-one can hear you G And get the wrong idea Am But behind F The closing eye of the tabloids C We will be waiting G And we'll say it clear F Cos who's gonna raise a hand G When all we were taught to do was dance F Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
