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.

Tangent Lyrics
Beth Orton
Lost myself in a tangent of words,
Cant decide what Ive seen or heard,
Cannot sleep for counting sheep,
How long does this river run deep,
How long does this river run deep.
Building a map in order to find,
Whats not lost but left behind,
My instinct got bruised,
But I still see,
I was a victim Ill be no casualty.
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
It was just like coming home,
Coming home.
He said that you weave deadly tricks,
Come right back to the worldly hicks,
Stare it cold in dull surprise,
Spread evil to hell in every tear you cried,
Every tear you cried.
Building a map in order to find,
Whats not lost but left behind,
I was a victim Ill be no casualty.
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Just like coming home,
Could be just like coming home,
Coming home.
Cut off my toes to spite my feet,
Drank your poison
Didnt taste too sweet,
Saw that heavens in my mind,
Its there for me to find,
Its there for me to find.
