Film: Derek Jarman's surrealistic and oft-overlooked "The Garden" (1990), starring Tilda Swinton, Pete Lee-Wilson, and Vernon Dobtcheff. "It focuses on homosexuality and Christianity set against a backdrop of Jarman's bleak coastal home of Dungeness in Kent, and his garden and the nearby landscape surrounding a nuclear power station, a setting Jarman compares to the Garden of Eden." (wiki)
"Featherhead" is found on Pascal Comelade's "Swing Slang Song" EP (1999, Delabel). The song is an outtake from Comelade's "La Argot D'Bruit" album (1998, Les Disques Du Soleil Et De L'Acier) which features Polly's vocals on "Green Eyes" and "Love Too Soon."
Lyrics:
When will we ever meet?
Not in this life
When will I be a bird?
Is it this life?
White doves only see
From up high
When will another bird
Kiss my mind
Featherhead all fucked
Up and down days
No, not another night
Another dim place
White doves only see
From up high
When will another bird
Bend my mind
@brainfeeeeder Wasn't obvious to me since PJ could be man or woman and obviously I'm not familiar with the music or artist. Thanks.

@gmj2012 PJ Harvey is singing, obviously.

Once the vocals kick in on this one (after all the xylophone stuff) it gets addictingly quirky awesome, I've had to hear it 4 times in a row so far. Wish more of their music was like this. Who is the female vocalist on this one??? LOVE it. The movie is not on netflix, but is at IMDB for info anyway, sounds very strange & this music fits it perfectly :)
