Pj Harvey şarkı sözleri

Lost Fun Zone

I believe I am here to stay
I believe his son was sent to save
The fun zone is here
Ride free so

Take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time

I don't believe that I gotta die someday
Please take me one more time
Take me one more time
Take me one more time

Un Cercle Autour Du Soleil

She lay
Breathing
Sunshine
Beating
Time here
Lingers
Trace with
My fingers
A circle
A circle
'Round the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun

No more
Laughter
Since the
Black come
But head down
Get high
Up there's
Blue sky

And a circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun

Time here
Lingers
Can trace with
My fingers

A circle, a circle
'Round the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun

Is That All There Is?

I remember when i was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And i'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And I stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to a fire ? "
Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads

And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to the circus ? "

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love

And then one day
He went away
And i thought i'd die
But I didn't
And when I didn't
I said to myself
" Is that all there is to love ? "

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep

I know what you must be saying to yourselves
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. i'm not ready for the final disappointment
'Cause I know just as well as i'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And i'm breathing my last breath
I know what I'll be saying to myself
" Is that all there is ? "

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Heela

[P J Harvey :]

I was lost in love
I was lost inside
'Till he said to me
You've got a lovely smile

And i'm saved
Saved
And I'm saved
And I'm saved

Heal me with his hands
Heal me with his heart
When he said to me
No no we never part

[P J Harvey :] Heal me with his hands
[J. Parish :] Well she feels though she had my paradise
[P J Harvey :] Heal with his heart
[J. Parish :] She was a hula girl, she got her hair done nice
[P J Harvey :] When he said to me
[J. Parish :] She said "i'll give it all I got to my heela man
[P J Harvey :] No no we never part
[J. Parish :] He put his hands on me, showed me what I am"

[P J Harvey, J. Parish :] And I'm saved

When I got that heela by my side
And I push him daylight, push him night

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Can I tell you something ?
Can I tell you a story ?
It's about me and Billy
'Cause I remember

I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he'd ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I'm over it now
It was spring or summer sixty five I don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Inherited his father's hate that what he'd say
And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow
He could make joy come loose inside
I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him
It just wasn't enough
It was never enough
He'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"
And he wanted everything
He wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Each new moon
He used to make me pray
Every morning
Hidden in the backseat, such Jesus
He'd make me pray
And he'd in there when he wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Say it
"Even the son of god had to die my darling"
Go on, say it!

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Civil War Correspondent

Words leave my heart dry
Words can't save life
Love has no place here
No joy, no tears

Darling, time's changed
Time leaves, time fades
Please see through my eyes
Save your tears for the next who dies

I shout but he don't hear
I put down on a page
Darling spare me your tears
Just send me the light of day

I shout but he don't hear
Just put down on the page
Darling spare me your tears
Dear God please send me the light of day

I can feel his
Heart wired
Heart like
Gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire
Gunfire.

Urn With Dead Flowers In A Drained Pool

I need your lie
Darling love lies

And if you gave it to me
I'd hold it in the palm of my hand
Like a good luck charm, or a vice
And i'd reach up like a child to receive it

There is no more said
There is no more real
I got sun on my back
I remember you

Take me inside
Your warm love lie

And if he took me
I'd hold him up to the light
Like a god, or a good luck charm, or a vice
And i'd open up like a child to believe it

There is no more said
There is no more real
Got sun on my back
And I remember you

No
There is no more said
There's, there is no more real
I got sun on my back
And I remember you

And still you can't give your peace to me

That Was My Veil

It starts at daylight
I see him
Before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me
No never thought that you'd leave

That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies

No words can
Heal my heart
Inside I'm broken
Now it's done
Was she a pretty girl ?
Does she have pretty hair ?
Was she soft-spoken ?
Was there a love there ?

That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies

Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies

Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies
Lies

Rope Bridge Crossing

And I remember everything
Sunrise on a blue horizon
You, your hand in mine
I remember the things you said

Said, "i'll be a lady, wait through it all,
Be there to catch you, after the fall
Run through the red light, out of my hair
Run from the darkness into the dare"

And i dream of running
And in the dream I, myself could run
And i feel the ground beneath my feet
And i move like music,
You move me, like music

Head out of my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "I'd be there"

Now i'm treading very carefully
And I hope that I don't scream
And I hope that I don't fall
Off your bridge, crossing over
Sunny mountain, swollen riverfall

You said "I'd be there"
You said "I'd be there"
Through it all

Head out of my way
Head of to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life

All over my way
Head out to red light
"Hold on" the dream says
Head out of my life
You said "I'd be there"

Water

water
walking on
water
for years
taking it into my head
living by the right lines
reading what the very man said

water
walking on
water
neighing on eleven years
taking it into my head
mary mary drop me softly
i've been reading what your very man said
neighing on eleven years
taking it into my head
leave my clothes on the beach
i'm walking down into the sea
prove it to me
now the water to my ankles
now the water to my knees
think of him all waxy wings
melted down into the sea
mary mary what your man said
is washing in all over my head
mary mary hold on tightly
over water under the sea

Plants And Rags

plants and rags ease myself into a body- bag
dreamt a man he fed me fine food, he gave me shiny things

white and black are you looking for the sun boy? the sun doesn't shine down here, no, in shadow
house and home who thought they could take away that place? lead us outside, and lead us out quietly

Hair

samson the strength that's in your arms oh to be your stunning bride
samson your hair
glistening

samson you'll stay with your 'lilah i hold you in my hands your hairy
strength

Fountain

stand
under
fountain
cool skin
wash clean
wash him
from me
along comes wind
a big bone-shaker
blows off my clothes
completely naked
what to do
when everything
has left you?

out of the blue
it is he
a vision to me
bearing leaves
petals green
covers me
in all my shame
hand in hand
he's my big man
stays with me
some forty days
no words
then goes away
i cry again

Sheela-na-gig

been trying to show you over and over
look at these,
my child-bearing hips
look at these, my ruby-red ruby lips
look at these, my work strong-arms
you've got to see my bottle full of charm
lay it all at your feet
you turn around and say back to me
he said
sheela-na-gig, you exhibitionist

better wash that man right out of my hair
-"just like the first time, said you didn't care"
-"heard it before, no more"
-"turn the corner, another one there "
-"heard it before"

he said
sheela-na-gig, you exhibitionist
put money in your idle hole he said
"wash your breasts, i don't want to be
unclean" he said
"please take those dirty pillows away from me"

Joe

joe ain't you my buddy thee?
stay with me when i fall and die
always thought you'd come rushing in
to clear the shit out of my eye

joe ain't you my buddy thee?
lay my enemies out in lines
come in close and i'll wash your feet
with my hair i'd mop them dry
joe you be my buddy please
in this (hell) and (dead-lock) time
when i'm trussed in that headache tree
cut me down with your
knife
