about
Hello! Laura Kidd here aka She Makes War, an independent DIY solo artist making gloomy pop music and videos. Thanks for stopping by.
My debut album "Disarm" is and will always be available on a pay-what-you-think-it's-worth basis - everyone deserves to be part of this! This album is completely independent so please pay what you're comfortable with and you'll be part of making the next one..
I'm an entirely self funded artist trying to spend more time on the SMW project, but I also strongly believe that people should be able to participate in the arts by contributing what they can afford. So, if you want to get involved and help fund the project please do, but don't feel bad if you can't.
* If you download this album for "free" please consider making a donation to War Child - every little helps www.warchild.org.uk *
There are lots of ways of helping DIY artists like myself get their music out to a wider audience, I've written about it on my website here: shemakeswar.com/community/a-call-to-arms/
Please do get involved in the project by sharing this with your friends and visiting some of the links below:

Blending urgent, grungey guitars with processed beats, heady pop melodies and a liberal dusting of glitter, She Makes War has drawn comparisons to artists from Blur to Blood Red Shoes, Melissa Auf der Maur, REM and Bat For Lashes. ... more

Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
Wasn’t worried by the time, no
The time, but
What took you so long?
Wasn’t bothered by the lukewarm emotion
I played along
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
So you spill your heart all over computer
But not to my eyes
Darling drink your nervous wine, yeah
I know you’re scared to capsize
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to say
I think that it’s time you went away
I’m sorry I wrote
I’m sorry I called
I’m sorry I broke your easy fall
I’m sorry I cared
I’m sorry I tried
I’m sorry I cried in front of you
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise - Track Name: A-Hole

Digging ourselves a hole
Dark little cave to lie low
Take off our faces and carry on so
We’re digging ourselves a hole
I’ll mix you a drink of my tears
Spike it with blood, lust and cheer
As it pours from my punctures please kiss me my dear
Raise your glass to mine
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Digging ourselves a hole
Take it in turns to patrol
I’ll build the watchtower if you take the toll
Back to back we’ll face the world
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect

We find so little to fight about these days, don’t we?
We don’t torture each other any more - there’s no point
So come in love let’s huddle together
As the planes carve up the sky the stars swerve satellites
Trying to send hopeful signs home
There’s no fireworks for us this year
There’s no need to make explosions in the air
So no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
There’s something else
I can’t write happy songs but I
Feel safe sometimes
Won’t push you away from me any more
Oh darling press your cheek to mine, will you
Let’s pray faithlessly together for the future
If there’s one
There’s no fireworks for us this year
There’s no need to make explosions in the air
So no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
There’s no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
There’s no fireworks for us this year
There’s no need to make explosions in the air
So no fireworks for us this year
But I don’t mind
There’s something else - Track Name: Slow Puncture
-
A pale voice and a paper tear
The bullets scud, hunting blood
But it’s friendly fire my love
We changed tyres but we’re losing air
So hold me close as we drive
We’re in for a bumpy ride
It’s just a slow puncture
Bringing us down
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down
The thread broke so we’re ripping seams
I’m daring you to deny this Gemini butterfly
The snow’s deep but we’re dressed in dreams
Oh honey hang on cos we’re all just surviving here
It’s just a slow puncture
Bringing us down
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down
I see light on dark days
It’s just a slow puncture
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down - Track Name: NIMN
-
Frost in brain
In the heart
Back to the bone and back to the start
Glitterballs and combat paint
Less we care about
Less we ache
Shadows and ghosts
A easterly wind
Bringing us back once more to dream
Not in my name
Not in my name
Never, never [avert your eyes]
Not in my name
Not in my name
Not in my name
Never, never, never
Crush of salt under blackened lashes
Bulldoze bodies while we avert eyes
Shield us from the terrified
Oh man, what happened with our alibi?
When will we...
Not in my name
Not in my name [when will we cry]
Never, never
Not in my name [avert your eyes]
Not in my name
Not in my name [avert your eyes]
Never, never, never [part time warrior]
Avert your eyes
Shield us from the terrified
Avert your eyes
Thank you and good night
Not in my name
Not in my name
Never never
Oh we’re all terrified
Til we die - Track Name: Olympian
-
Clouds collide
Falling, melting in to blue
I deny
Feeling anything for you
You were the best thing
I turned my back on
Others love
I stay rooted to the ground
Losing, never found
Olympian
Show me how to feel again
Save me, my Apollo
You were the best thing
I turned my back on
My lead heart frozen
So we suffer love’s slings and blunt arrows
I got the lead and you took the gold
Now I’m baring my bark but you want to bite
Let’s bury it, bury it
Our love is a bird with a broken back that you buried in the shade of my branches
Watch the weeds grow tall as our dreams turn cold
And all we have left are half remembered truths
You were the best thing
So we suffer love’s slings and blunt arrows
I got the lead and you took the gold
Now I’m baring my bark but you want to bite
So we suffer love’s slings and blunt arrows
I got the lead and you took the gold
Now I’m baring my bark but you want to bite
Let’s bury it, bury it - Track Name: Eye Spy
-
Oh, isn’t it fun to be free?
I’m pretty sure you’ll agree
There’s nothing better than winning
Surprise!
Nothing is quite as it seems
He’s taking tea with the Queen
While everyone else breaks their promises
How did it come to this?
Now it seems so obvious
Oh I spy
Too many children have died
Isn’t that what we desired?
Isn’t that what we all wanted? - Track Name: Let This Be
-
Please boy shut your mouth
There’s no time to talk shit out
Ticking lives aside
They’re not forgotten, not denied
Please boy come with me
I’m drilling holes to sweet relief
The blood fog’s in me
So come, hey
I’m gonna take your tears away
I’m gonna take your tears away
Because everything hurts
Please boy shut my mouth
Look how we talked the dawn around
Declare war with me
We’re dropping bombs in foreign fields
Just like you, just like me
To let this be
So come, hey
I’m gonna take your tears away
I’m gonna take your tears away
Because everything hurts
So come, hey
I’m gonna take your tears away
I’m gonna gonna take your tears away
Because everything ‘s gone
Don’t stop revealing, don’t stop
Don’t stop revealing, don’t stop
Don’t stop revealing, don’t stop
I’m gonna take your tears away
I’m gonna take your tears away
I’m gonna take your tears - Track Name: Got Milk
-
I’ve got milk
I’ve got milk ohhhh
I’ve got milk
I’ve got milk
Yeah I’ve got milk
Bones, guts and blood
It’s nothing to hide from just what I’m made of
You think it’s dirty but I know it’s good
Come over here now boy
And get sticky like my love
You told me you’d show me how much you had grown
You told me you’d show me how much you had
I’ve got milk
I’ve got milk woooo
I’ve got milk
I’ve got milk
Stupid bloody valentine
Lick my neck and spill my wine
We’ve got hips and seams that rip
And no desire to waste our time
You told me you’d show me how much you had grown
You told me you’d show me how much you had
I’ve got milk
I’ve got milk ohhhh
I’ve got milk
I’ve got milk
I’ve got
I’ve got milk and I’ve got bones
I’ve got milk and I’ve got blood
(I’ve got milk, I’ve got blood)
(I’ve got milk, I’ve got blood)
I’ve got milk
Uh-huh - Track Name: I Am
-
I am the sweet defender
I am the one you bruised
I am sick of feeling
I am sick
Of feeling used
I am the one who held you
I am the one who was always there
My heart, so swollen and sick to find
That love was useless
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away
I am the one left craving
I am the one who ends up alone
I am the one who loved you
I am the one you don’t
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away
Now my tears stain
The streets you named
You kissed my heart then you ripped it away
But I only hold myself to blame
You ripped it away - Track Name: Chicken
-
Tell me your secrets
I’ll tell you my lies
Tell me everything - don’t bury it
What’s the use of skirting round it?
Give the guilty gossip
Tell me, tell me
The panic voices in your head
They’ll buzz around until they kill you
Melt away the brain cells til you’re dead
Come on chicken
Bang your empty head
Give it up, give it up
Tell me
I’m growing tired of your excuses
Your indecision with the truth is
Getting on my nerves I have to say
So count to ten I need a friend
Oh spit it out cos I’m not laughing
I’m planning to walk out of here alive
Come on chicken
Bang your empty head
Give it up, give it up
Tell me
Come on chicken
Bang your empty head
Give it up, give it up
Tell me - Track Name: ghostsandshadows

Lately I’ve been receiving photographic flashbacks
From distant conversations
Vacant
Now I don’t sleep
I’m trying not to think
I’m feeling wired
But I don’t wanna talk to somebody
They’re just my suffocated memories
That’s all
I feel connected up [I feel]
To every time it hurt [it hurt me]
To every little detail
But I don’t wanna talk to somebody
They’re just my suffocated memories
That’s all
So I’ll keep my ghosts
Embrace my shadows
I’ve come to love my lows
My ghosts and shadows
But I don’t wanna talk to somebody
They’re just my suffocated memories - Track Name: (Love) Like Liars
-
Fade
Fade out
It’s easier than living
Touch like people
Like you know what you want to be feeling
All I’m asking for is a little soul, a little fire, a little more
Love like liars
It’s easier to fall apart than fix it
Talk like cowards
Let it all build up til you are powerless
All I’m asking for is a little soul, a little fire, a little more
All I’m asking for is a little soul, a little fire, a little more
