Perhaps best described as a folk/electronica artist, Beth Ortonwas born in East Dereham, Norfolk, and moved to East London at age 14. Orton found success as a musician late, having been more interested in acting during her early career. She first gained notice in 1995 for her vocals on The Chemical Brothers' track "Alive Alone" and is well known for her collaboration (stemming from a relationship) with William Orbitin which she lends her voice for the Strange Cargoalbums. The collaboration with Orbit named SuperPinkyMandy, though of excellent sound, was only released in very limited numbers in Japan. Orton's first solo album, Trailer Park, was released in 1996.

Love Like Laughter Lyrics
Beth Orton
Some of the worst wrongs
Get righted on three chords,
Like a promise,
Or a kiss goodbye.
When the sneer on your lips
Is the livest thing,
Just alive enough to die.
Open my heart,
In my heart theres something telling me
To open my heart.
Open my heart
Yeah, Ive been blind,
And all thats been lost
Is a short loop running round my mind.
Love is like laughter
See it happen by chance,
Like a promise,
Be a kiss goodbye
When the smile on your lips
Is the livest thing
More alive than any sky Ive seen.
I open my heart
In my heart is theres something telling me
To open my heart.
I open my heart,
See Ive been blind,
And all thats been cut
Is a short loop running round my mind.
I open my heart
In my heart theres something telling me
To open my heart.
I open my heart,
See Ive been blind,
And all thats been cut
Is a short loop running round my mind.
Its just running round my mind,
Running all the time.
Running all the time
Its a short loop
A short loop
Running round my mind
