“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.

Oh, lover, please release me.
My arms too weak to grip,
My eyes too dry for weeping,
My lips too dry to kiss.

Calling Jesus, 'Please,
Send his love to me!”
― P.J. Harvey

“Water,
Walking,
Walking on water.
Walking,
Walking on for years and years and years.
Taking it into my head,
Living by the right lines,
Reading what the very man said.

Water,
I'm walking,
Walking on water,
Walking,
Walking on.

Lying on eleven years,
Taking it into my head,
Mary, Mary drop me softly.
Been reading what your very man said;
Lying on eleven years
Taking it into my head.
Leave my clothes on the beach;
I'm walking down into the sea.

Prove it to me.”
― P.J. Harvey

“I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl –
So much to me.
And now I moan,
And now I holler...
She'll never know
Just what I found.
That blue eyed girl –
She said "no more";
That blue eyed girl
Became blue eyed whore.
Down by the water,
I took her hand.
Just like my daughter,
I'll see her again

Oh, help me, Jesus.
Come through this storm.
I had to lose her
To do her harm;
I heard her holler,
I heard her moan,
My lovely daughter...
I took her home.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water,
Come back here, man, give me my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.
Come back here, man, give me my daughter.”
― P.J. Harvey

“My fingers sting where I feel your fingers have been
Ghostly fingers moving my limbs
Oh god I miss you
Oh god I miss you
Oh god I miss you
Oh god I miss you
Oh god I miss you”

“I enjoy looking like a tart.
And thinking like a politician.”
