about

Lily Garland is a singer-songwriter from Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Lily’s love for country music began when she saw the Dixie Chicks perform live in Austin, Texas back in 2000, their songs made her want to dance in her seat one moment and then cry the next!

It is the story telling that gets her the most, doesn't matter if a song is about love or beer there is a story in there that is just so relatable!
Having been inspired by British country music artists, The Shires and modern country legends such as Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert, Lily began writing and performing her own songs in 2015. Soon Lily believed these songs needed a wider platform so her debut EP 'Time to Fly' was born. All of the songs written for this EP have a personal meaning...

​"One thing I love about country music is that whatever mood I am in I can find a song that speaks to my heart and that was my aim with Time to Fly.....if I can write a song that just one person relates to then I have achieved what I set out to do!"
Lily Garland

lyrics

Last night I threw ya clothes out my window and I set 'em on fire
Mmm last night I took your keys, dug 'em in your car and slashed all your tyres

I don't care what other people say
I don't need you standing in my way
Ain't nobody ain't nobody ever gonna treat me this way

Don't disrespect me and I won't bury you yet no
I look like an angel but I got the dark side in my head
I've been there, I've done that
If you set alight to the wings upon my back
I'll rise above the ashes and let 'em fall over you
uh oh

Last night, I saw you shooting whisky with the blonde staying low key at the bar
You said, it was just a kiss but to you it always means so much more

You don't know I've seen it all before

Don't think I haven't seen, I know the truth about where you are
Why waste all of my love on a cheap pair of boots riding home in my car

I don't care what other people say
Ain't nobody ain't nobody ever gunna treat me this way

Don't disrespect me and I won't bury you yet no
I look like an angel but I got the dark side in my head
I've been there, I've done that
If you set alight to the wings upon my back
I'll rise above the ashes and let 'em fall over you

There’s no way, there’s no way, no, I’m not done with you yet
There’s no way, there’s no way, no, I’m not done with you yet
There’s no way, no way, no, I’m not done with you yet
There’s no way, there’s no way, there’s no way, I’m not done with you yet Oooh

I've been there, I've done that
If you set alight to the wings upon my back
I'll rise above the ashes and let 'em fall over you
Over you, uh oh oh
Over you, yeah
Over you, yes.
