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.

Whenever Lyrics
Beth Orton
Whenever I need a friend,
Its you I come round to see again,
You know that Ill always be near,
Youre flesh and blood and youre my memory,
Live on in my memory.
I send you nothing but love,
Just wait and see,
I send you nothing but love,
Just wait for me,
Wait and see,
Wait and see.
Great words, you know all the right words to say,
You dont always lean in my way,
You dont always mean what you say.
Whenever I need a friend,
Its you I come round to see again,
An everything that you do,
Is everything I will ask of you,
You could ask me too.
I send you nothing but love,
Just wait an see,
I send you nothing but love,
Just wait for me,
Wait and see,
Wait and see.
Great words, you know all the right words to say,
You dont have to lean in my way,
We dont have to mean what we say.
