PJ Harvey - Bows And Arrows

Bows And Arrows (b-side to "The Letter" from "Uh huh her" album", 2004)

I saw your face
Whiter the purity
Then I saw savages
Standing before me

Bows and arrows
Tipped with poison
Make tenderness please
Stand by my pillow

I see evil
Everytime I dream
I see earth's poison
I hear violence sing
Even your touch
Once so pure
Comes fates cold hand
On my locked door

Won't you send those angels to watch over me?

I can't catch the bow
That this planet has thrown
I can't catch this bow
On my own
In come the arrows
Like a needle

You pierce my heart
And I taste poison
You pierce my soul
With bows and arrows

Won't you send those angels to watch over me?

This is one of the best songs of Uh Uh Her era, can't understand why it's not in the album!

@maynardminion She's actually released a lot of b-sides and all of them highly recommended. fortunately most of them are on youtube.

Very cool. I do agree a lot of her best work are the b-sides. I want to see her live!
