PJ Harvey, December 1999, Music Of The Millennium Awards, Channel 4. Polly chose Bob Dylan as her Musician of the Millennium and performed this tribute.

Lyrics:

I need a shot of love

Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president

I need a shot of love

Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me feel afraid
What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed Jesus, they put a price upon His head

I need a shot of love

I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard em too
Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds

I need a shot of love

Why would I want to take your life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends

I don't wanna be with nobody tonight, Veronica ain't nowhere, Mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me, he's swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?

  • Arguably the most sought after, seldom seen PJ video. 'Bout time! Still amazed it has taken this long to surface. Thanks, se1bridge!

  • @kikkiokioli no problem :)

  • Absolutely Amazing!

  • *wipes tear* Love the Bob Dylan tribute.

  • Ain't that some voodoo workin'! Incredible! Sparks fly whenever she's on fire. After going through A LOT of live PJ Harvey songs on the tube I hope and pray she will release a live album soon. Make it a double, make it a triple, sell it for the prize of gold, I don't care, I will be swinging those nachos like I just don't care!!!!!

  • A transatlantic meeting of two of the greatest minds in rock. Fabulous!

  • just perfect

  • wow i've waited so long for this. thank you, uploader!

  • Fantastic ! ♥

  • Wowza! would you look at that dress!!.. and it definitely should only be sold with THAT guitar as an accessory!.. can't comment on the cover since i'm too distracted to listen.. i'll just take everyone's word. :]
