Porque a música, ela sim, é minha fiel companheira, e porque esta musa estará sempre na minha vida, de variadas formas.
PJ HARVEY We Float
We wanted to find love We wanted success Until nothing was enough Until my middle name was excess
Somehow I lost touch When you went out of sight When you got lost into the city Got lost into the night
I was in need of help Heading to blackout Till someone told me "run on in honey Before somebody blows your goddamn brains out"
You shoplifted as a child I had a model's smile You carried all my hopes Until something broke inside But now
We float Take life as it comes We float Take life as it comes
So will we die of shock? Die without a trial? Die on Good Friday? While holding each other tight
This is kind of about you This is kind of about me We just kinda lost our way We were looking to be free But one day
We'll float Take life as it comes We'll float Take life as it comes
But one day We'll float Take life as it comes
PJ HARVEY Send His Love To Me
Lover had to leave me Cross the desert plain Turned to me, his lady Tells me "lover wait"
Calling Jesus, please Send his love to me
Oh, wind and rain may haunt me Look to the north and pray Send me, please, his kisses Send them home today
I'm begging Jesus, please Send his love to me
Left alone in desert This house becomes a hell This love becomes a tether This room becomes a cell
Mummy, Daddy, please Send him back to me
How long must I suffer? Dear god, I've served my time This love becomes my torture This love, my only crime
Lover please release me My arms too weak to grip My eyes to dry for weeping My lips too dry to kiss
Calling Jesus, please Send his love to me
I'm begging Jesus, please Send his love to me
PJ HARVEY Is That All There Is?
I remember when I was a girl Our house caught on fire And I'll never forget the look on my father's face As he gathered me in his arms and raced to the burning building out on the pavement. And I stood there shivering and watched the whole world go up in flames. And when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is to a fire?, Is that all there is?"
Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
And when I was twelve years old, my Daddy took me to the circus 'The greatest show on earth'. And there were clowns and elephants, dancing bears, and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. And as I sat there watching, I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what but when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is to the circus?"
Is that all there is?" If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world. We'd take long walks down by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. We were so very much in love and then one day he went away and I'd thought I'd die, but I didn't. And when I didn't, I said to myself "Is that all there is to love?"
Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep¡
I know what you must be saying to yourselves if that's the way she feels about it, Then why doesn't she just end it all. O no, not me, I'm not ready for the final disappointment Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, That when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I know what I'll be saying to myself "Is that all there is?"
Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
