WHITE MOUSE 
(DON'T FORGET NANCY WAKE)



NEW SINGLE RELEASED NOW 

As part of our plan to release 'singles' and impact releases, this is the first of a two-part series of individual tracks about inspiring women. The first one is, I believe, maybe the best song we've ever written and is inspired by the life of one Nancy Wake. Please go and find out about her after you have listened to the song, an amazing woman and hopefully she would appreciate our song about her life.

All we ask is you listen and let us know what you think

WHITE MOUSE (DON'T FORGET NANCY WAKE)

From cosmopolitan Marseilles 1939
Seduced by proficient tango
Nancy married Henri, wealthy so he was
Charm & sophistication
Champagne & caviar
Living on a hill on the harbour

Who’d have thought that Nancy Wake
Would turn into the White Mouse?

Have you ever been afraid?
‘I’ve never been afraid in my life’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said
500k through German checkpoints
I guess that’s not being afraid?
Nancy Wake The White Mouse

False papers & a purchased ambulance
Trained at Scotlands MOD
She joined the French Resistance
7,000 Maquis troops she led
The SS nor the Gestapo
Could capture The White Mouse

Who’d have thought that Nancy Wake
Would turn into the White Mouse?

Have you ever been afraid?
‘I’ve never been afraid in my life’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said
A sleepless life on the move
The Plateau was her great win
Nancy Wake The White Mouse

On returning to Vichy in liberation
She learned Henri had died
For he would not betray her
Post war decorations came
And glory to this day
‘A lady till the fighting starts’

Who’d have thought that Nancy Wake
Would turn into the White Mouse?

Have you ever been afraid?
‘I’ve never been afraid in my life’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said
Her ashes scattered on the hills she fought
‘That was good enough for me’
Nancy Wake The White Mouse said




The next song in the series is due mid-September and is about another inspiring woman's songs & lyrics, a film has been commissioned to go with it, so watch out for that 'impact' release very soon...

Thanks for listening and sharing
