Emmeline

Emmeline, The Orphan of the Castle is the first novel written by English writer Charlotte Smith; it was published in 1788. A Cinderella story in which the heroine stands outside the traditional economic structures of English society and ends up wealthy and happy, the novel is a fantasy. At the same time, it criticises the traditional marriage arrangements of the 18th century, which allowed women little choice and prioritised the needs of the family. Smith's criticisms of marriage stemmed from her personal experience and several of the secondary characters are thinly veiled depictions of her family, a technique which both intrigued and repelled contemporary readers. Emmeline comments on the 18th-century novel tradition, presenting reinterpretations of scenes f… more »

Baby's hooked your mother cried, look into your mother's eyes 
Forward to the corner shop and take you to the Beetle Drive
Spare parts and broken wings, chrome hearts, marble rings 
1 calling 2, for lost luck and other things 

5 is for the head, 6 is for the body 
3 is for the legs that you lost in the lobby
Singing baby's hooked your mother cried, look into your mother's eyes 
Forward to the corner shop then take you to the Beetle Drive 

She packs black and white dice, tight in the fist 
Rolling her luck, with the flick of a wrist 
Protecting her interests, saving her start
From body with a head and six legs but no heart 

He's a senior day-boy, the talk of the town
Who gambled his inheritance on seven short rounds 
For the niftiest creature, of hard-shell wear
Rolling around, with its legs in the air 

And so she hopped in the side door of a shoddy Type 1
Switching gears with her right hand, pushing luck with her thumb 
Whilst he practised his steering, mending the bends 
Paving the road with a gentle pretence 

And tumbled through the back with a hand-drawn cigarette 
Taking a card, placing a bet
Crossing his chest for the luckiest lady 
Who rolls up a five to call it her

Baby's hooked your mother cried, look into your mother's eyes 
Forward to the corner shop and take you to the Beetle Drive
Spare parts and broken wings, chrome hearts, marble rings 
1 calling 2, for lost luck and other things 

5 is for the head, 6 is for the body 
3 is for the legs that you lost in the lobby
Singing baby's hooked your mother cried, look into your mother's eyes 
Forward to the corner shop then take you to the Beetle Drive 

Cause she, held faith in the holiday romance 
And she, saved grace on the family birth plan
Cause he, choked blue on the pith of divorce 
And now he's older, and wiser, but full of remorse 

Oh how they, clocked eyes back on Beetle street 
On the, wrong side of a line to keep 
Or the, strange tides of a family dispute 
Where the money comes fast, else the loving falls loose

Oh when they, locked legs to the marching band
Took the long route back for the lack of a plan 
With a short stop, nabbed a couple of sheets 
A ball point pen with big belief 

Say that six again, make my beetle friend  
Make my life tonight, call my poor fate's end
Say that six again, make my beetle mended
It's legs outstretched and it's head offended

Baby's hooked your mother cried, look into your mother's eyes 
Forward to the corner shop and take you to the Beetle Drive
Spare parts and broken wings, chrome hearts, marble rings 
1 calling 2, for lost luck and other things 

5 is for the head, 6 is for the body 
3 is for the legs that you lost in the lobby
Singing baby's hooked your mother cried, look into your mother's eyes 
Forward to the corner shop then take you to the Beetle Drive 

I make peace I make peace with the Beetle Drive 
Please give me luck give me something to hold on to

Forward to the corner shop then take you to the Beetle Drive

I make peace I make peace with the die I release 
Something deep, within me

Forward to the corner shop then take you to the Beetle Drive
