I Am The Owner of This Coat by Maria Daines published on 2016-12-16T16:29:10Z In loving memory of Mary Alice Pollard, Cornwall's Voice For Animals, 'I Am The Owner of This Coat' is re-released online this Christmas and available as a free download for all those who wish to share it and help to raise awareness of the need to end the cruel fur trade. This song was inspired by Mary Alice when we met via the internet in December 2005 and we dedicated it to her tireless work to end cruelty and suffering to sentient beings. Our thanks to Bill Pearson for his photography and art work.

You may not wonder, how I feel N' you may not know, my pain is real But I wonder, how you live with YOU As you live with me - Now I'm through... Yes I grace your neck, oh I keep you warm And through my death, there's your careless arm - Oh you're stroking oh, what once was alive My heart, my bone, laid aside... Now I'm merely, dirt and dust Just a memory, of broken trust Just an animal, for you to KILL A trinket made of life, for your fashion thrill... Oh I have no voice Oh I have no name Just a wretched piece of meat Drowning in vain Oh speak for me now Oh please hear my plea.. Oh don't, don't, don't, don't turn your back on me... I am the owner, the owner of this coat Brown eyed, small Without a hope Soon to perish, so soon to cry Just so you may wear, my fur with pride.... ©Maria Daines/Paul Killington 22.12.05 Published by NorthStar Music UK Ltd Genre Singer-Songwriter Comment by Alien Syndrome Deluxe Actually, after listening g all the way through, I do remember hearing this before....enjoyed! 2019-10-05T23:56:22Z Comment by Alien Syndrome Deluxe Just going through my list of 'follows' and stumbled on yours and, of course, remembering from years ago, on Soundclick....loving this song, as good as ever, albeit, not sure if it's a new one or older...and deserves a comment anyway...cwet good! 2019-10-05T23:54:34Z Comment by Alan L Cole You've found a great and passionate vocalist Andrew. 2017-07-03T02:21:35Z
