PJ Harvey - Daddy

From Soundtrack to Spleen

Daddy
Hold me
It seems so very dark tonight
And day

Daddy
I can't sleep
Need you to come and sing to me

That the stars
Up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough (Daddy)
It will be light (Baby)
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry

Oh Daddy
Your baby
Is weak and calling out your name

My Daddy
Oh don't leave me
I beg you sing your song again

That the stars
Up in the sky
Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight
And soon enough (Daddy)
It will be light (Baby)
We'll hold on tightly to each other, you and I
And I won't cry (Baby)
Or call your name
And I won't
And I won't
And I won't
And I won't

Such a weird song, beautiful!

[ZZqezza]

I like it too - it's creepy and beautiful at the same time

[Kuriozuum]

I love it. It's disquieting, strange and unusual. Just like PJ Harvey.

The companion song to Prince's "Sister"

[ahappykitten]

Is this not the most revealing song ever.

Fuck ZZqezza, you are da person for having all these AMAZING b-side vids loaded here! I have all her regular albums but not heard many of these. LOVE it, thx so much!

[LunaSeaSane]

Sounds like she's making a satire of a romance.

@Kuriozuum OMG, I'm forty years old, but this song reminds me my childhood when

dad left our family. This desolation and confusion isn't unusual, this is reality :o((
