PJ Harvey - The Bay

The Bay
(released in 1998, b-side to A Perfect Day Elise)

The dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

Said Betty she's fine
And Betty she's torn
And Betty makes love
Like woman at all

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep

But oh my eyes
Making fools out of me
They say love is blindness (They say God forgives)
I could no longer see (But I can't learn the same)

Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?

5*, jenom moc nechápu, proč jsou tyhle songy až na "b straně", takže dá se říct zapadlý, když jsou tak dobrý :) měla by z b stran vydávat regulérní alba... ;)

[ZZqezza]

jj, to si taky říkám, že je plýtvání dobrým materiálem. Asi se jí tyhle písničky nehodí do konceptu danýho alba nebo s nima není tak úplně spokojená:-)

[zeezberlin]

One of my absolute favorite Polly Song - Simply brilliant!!!!!!!!!

[ZZqezza]

completely agree:-) one of her best songs ever

[sitaah]

the best song of history in my opinion

[mwantero]

Her B-Sides are just as amazing. I'm fortunate myself to get these B-Sides & the ones for her Uh Huh Her album. Bows & Arrows and Angel are amazing songs. Kinda mirrors her 4-Track Demo's but still has that raw energy. Thanks for posting.

@bazzellmike

this is not about being famous, this is about creating sonic stories and moods, harvey is not interested in fame at all, that's why her work is so unique..and doesn't appeal to everyone..

[GabKesen]

She´s so hot!

[bazzellmike]

If this is all it takes to gain fans and sell albums, then I will be famous in no time....

Strašně se mi líbí, jak jsou její věci strašidelně krásné. Nádhera, ta husí kůže, to mrazení :o))
