Goddamn Europeans, Take me back to beautiful England And the grey, damp filthiness of ages, And battered books and Fog rolling down behind the mountains, On the graveyards, and dead sea-captains. Let me walk through the stinking alleys To the music of drunken beatings, Past the Thames River, glistening like gold Hastily sold for nothing. Let me watch night fall on the river, The moon rise up and turn to silver, The sky move, The ocean shimmer, The hedge shake, The last living rose, quiver.
this is one of those great songs that makes me want to stay up all night listening to music, interrupting random play every few songs to put it back on... feeling close to something beautiful while forgetting that i have a job & life to get back to in the morning. thank you. :)

Wonderful, especially the beginning with the guitar going crescendo. Great song I listen almost every day, when not the entire album!

Mighty version, song of 2011 for me! Is Mick Harvey on a free loan transfer from The Bad Seeds?

@challex Mick Harvey is fucking brilliant! So sad he left the Bad Seeds. He and Nick cave had such a great run for 30 years.

That bridge hits home with me, like no song has for a very, very long time. Thank you, PJ Harvey, for giving me the keys to my own soul.
