Hey Im one big queen
No one can stop me
Red light red green

P.j. Harvey - 66 Promises - lyrics

Sixty six promises
Fell from your lips
Sixty six kisses to
Rest on my charred fingertips
And Sixty six lovers
To come till I tell
Sixty six postions to take on this
Well-worn trail
Sixty six magicians
Deliver the goods
Documenting our marriage for some
Silent film in Hollywood
Is it not what you thought it would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be
Was I not what you thought I would be?
Was it not what you wanted it to be?
Sixty miles talking
But making no sense
A life out of liberty
And the pursuit of
Happiness
Waiting for something
To smash a few wholes
In the wall of good fortune
And the windows to an
Outer world
And sixty six promises
They came in a kiss
Provided a meaning
Now I see how it reallly is
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted ti to be
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted it to be

P.j. Harvey - 50 Foot Queenie - lyrics

Hey I'm one big queen no one can stop me
Red light red green smack back and watch it
I'm your new one second to no one
No sweat I'm clean nothing can touch me
I'll tell you my name F U and C K
50ft queenie force ten hurricanes
Biggest woman I could have ten sons
Ten daughters ten queens
Ten foot and rising
Hey I'm the king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm twenty inches long
Glory glory lay it all on me
50ft queenie 50 and rising
You bend over Cassanova
No sweat I'm clean
Nothing can touch me
Hey I'm the king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm twenty inches long
Hey I'm king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm thirty inches long
Hey I'm king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm forty inches long
Hey I'm king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on and measure me
I'm fifty inches long

P.j. Harvey - A Perfect Day, Elise - lyrics

He got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room 509
She turned her back on him facing the frame
Said, listen joe, dont you come here again.
White sun scattered all over the sea
He could think of nothing but her name elise
God is the sweat running down his back
The water soaked her blonde hair black
Its a perfect day elise
He got burned by the sun
His face so pale and his hands so worn
Let himself in room 509
Said a prayer, and cried, its a perfect day elise

P.j. Harvey - A Place Called Home - lyrics

One day I know
Well find a place of hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Walk tight, one line
Youre wanted this time
Theres no one to blame
Just hold on to me
(come on my love)
And Im right on time
And the birds keep singing
And youre right on line
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And Im right on time
And the girl keeps singing
One day theyll be a place for us
I walk and I wade
Through full lands and lonely
I stumble, I stumble
With you I wait
To be born again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me
(come on my love)
And Im right on time
And the birds keep singing
And youre right on line
And the bells keep ringing
One day theyll be a place for us
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And Im right on time
And the girl keeps singing
One day theyll be a place for us
Now is the time
To follow through
To read the signs
Now the message sent
Lets bring it to its final end
And Im right on time
And the birds keep singing
And youre right on line
And the bells keep ringing
One day theyll be a place for us
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And Im right on time
And the girl keeps singing
One day theyll be a place for us
One day
I
Know
Theyll be
A place
Called
Home

P.j. Harvey - Big Exit - lyrics

Look out ahead
I see danger come
I wanna pistol
I wanna gun
Im scared baby
I wanna run
This worlds crazy
Give me the gun
Baby, baby
Aint it true
Im immortal
When I m with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land
I met a man
He told me straight
You gotta leave
Its getting late
Too many cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No-one else has one
Baby, baby
Aint it true
Im immortal
When I m with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land
Sometimes it rains so hard
And I feel the hurt
In my heart
Feels like the end of the world
I see the children
Sharp as knives
I see the children
Dead and alives
Beautiful people
Beautiful girls
I just feel like its the end of the world
I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I cant find
A safe place to stand
Im scared baby
I wanna run
This worlds crazy
Gimme the gun
Baby, baby
Aint it true
Im immortal
When I m with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land

P.j. Harvey - Angelene - lyrics

My first name angelene
Prettiest mess youve ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls, Ill let him in
Rose is my colour, and white
Pretty mouth and green my eyes
I see men come and go
But therell be one who will collect my soul and come to me
Two-thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two-thousand miles away
It lays open like a road
Dear god, life aint kind
People getting born and dying
But Ive heard theres joy untold
Lays on that open road in front of me
My first name is angelene

P.j. Harvey - As Close As This - lyrics

With those eyes
You could be
In movies
In the lights
Nothing gets as close as this
With those eyes
Just a breath
Can send me back
To Bethlehem
Nothing gets as close as this
I'm hopelessly devoted
This world's alive
This room awake
With tiger's palms and rattlesnakes
And nothing gets as close as this
I'm hopelessly devoted
Every bird
Is on the wing
You fill the air
You're everything
Make me run screaming
Down the wind
Hopelessly
In love again
And nothing gets as close as this
I'm hopelessly devoted
Nothing gets as close as this
I'm hopelessly devoted

P.j. Harvey - Beautiful Feeling - lyrics

Sometimes I can see for miles
Through water and fire
From england to america
I feel life meet my eyes
And its the best thing
Its the best thing
Its the best thing
A beautiful feeling
A smile from san diego
Hes still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from mexico
And hes the best thing
He is the best thing
He is the best thing
A beautiful feeling
And when I watch you move
And I cant think straight
And I am silenced
And I cant think straight
And its the best thing
Its the best thing
The best thing
Such a beautiful feeling

P.j. Harvey - Bitter Branches - lyrics

Bitter branches
spreading out.
There's none more bitter
than the wood.
Into the wide world,
it grows,
twisting under
soldier's feet,
standing in line
and the damp earth underneath.
Holding up their rifles
high,
holding their young wives
who wave goodbye.
Hold up the clear glass
to look and see
soldiers standing
and the roots twist underneath.
Their young wives with white hands
wave goodbye.
Their arms as bitter branches
spreading into the world.
Wave goodbye,
Wave goodbye..
