The still room is a distillery room found in most great houses, castles or large establishments throughout Europe dating back at least to medieval times. The lady of the house was in charge of the room, where medicines were prepared, cosmetics and many home cleaning products created, and home-brewed beer or wine was often made. Herbs from the kitchen garden and surrounding countryside were processed into what today we call essential oils, and infused or distilled, or brewed (etc.) as required to make rose water, lavender water, peppermint based ointments, soaps, furniture polishes and a wide variety of medicines. It was a working room: part science lab, part infirmary and part kitchen. In later years, as doctors & apothecaries became more widely spread and the products of the still room became commercially available, the still room became increasingly an adjunct of the kitchen. The use of still room devolved to making only jams, jellies, home-brewed beverages and as a store room for perishables such as cakes.

We grew up believing nothing good in this life’s free
All I saw was money when I turned on the TV
Mama always asked me to go outside and play with friends
But they’d be watching re-runs of Puff Daddy in his Benz
Money and fame
Our ball and chain
Stuck inside this prison
Just for watching MTV
We grew up believing that it’s good looks gets you seen
All I saw was beauty when I read my magazines
Mama always walked around with a smile in her eyes
But she would never buy herself the clothes that were in style
Beauty and fame
Now they’re our ball and chain
And we’re stuck inside this
Prison reading People Magazine
We grew up believing that no anger makes you weak
All I saw was violence when I looked at the big screen
Papa always asked me, “ain’t it great to be alive?”
But he would never get mad when his problems would arise
Power and fame
Now they’re our ball and chain
And we’re stuck inside this prison
Until we can find a way
Money and fame
Now they’re our ball and chain
And stuck inside this prison is a
Generation dazed
Beauty and fame
Now they’re your ball and chain
And you’re stuck inside this prison
