PJ Harvey : Rid of Me
Lyrics
1.RID OF ME
Tie yourself to me
No one else
No, you're not rid of me
Hmm you're not rid of me
Night and day I breathe
Hey, you're not rid of me
Yeah, you're not rid of me
Yeah, you're not rid of me
Yeah, you're not rid of me
I beg you, my darling
Don't leave me, I'm hurting
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
I'll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
Oh, you're not rid of me
Yeah, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'm gonna twist your head off, see
Till you say don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
I beg you my darling
Don't leave me, I'm hurting
Big lonely above everything
Above everyday, I'm hurting
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Yeah, you're not rid of me
Yeah, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'm gonna twist your head off, see
Till you say don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs of desire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs of desire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs of desire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Don't you don't you wish you never never met her
Lick my legs of desire
2.MISSED
He should not be hid
He's just too big
In a cloud please come down
I'd put stars at your feet
Put Mars in your head
Show yourself to me
And I'd believe
I'd moan and I'd weep
Fall silent at your speak
I'd burst in
Full to the brim
Mary lost her head
And let it bleed
Came crying back to me
My son where's he hid
Don't deny it
And don't you hide him
No I've missed him
No words
No sign
Mary say "I'm not lying"
How come he's so big
But good lord he's been hid
Good lord where you hid
3.LEGS
Oh you're divine
Oh you're divine
Oh oh oh did I tell you you're divine
Oh oh oh did I ever when you were alive
Did it hurt when you bled
Did it, oh lover boy, oh fever head
I'll bet you never thought I'd try
Your mouth, my love, was open wide
Singing oh you were going to be my life
Dammit
Oh oh oh you were going to be my life
Did you sing "Oh happy day"
Singing it
Sing it that time I went away
Got to ease my aching head
Do you know
No other way cut off your legs
Hey oh
Did you ever wish me dead
Oh lover boy, oh fever head?
No you must, no you must not go away
How will you ever walk again
And I, I might as well be dead
But I could kill you instead
4.RUB 'TIL IT BLEEDS
Speak, I'm listening
Baby, I'm your sweet thing
Believe what I'm saying
God's truth, I'm not lying
I lie steady
Rest your head on me
I'll smooth it nicely
Rub it better 'till it bleeds
And you'll believe me
Caught out again
I'm calling you weak
Getting even
And I, I was joking
Sweet babe, let me stroke it
Take, I'm giving
God's truth, I'm not lying
And you'll believe me
I, I, I'm calling you in
And I'll make it better
I'll rub 'till it bleeds
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it, hey
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it, hey
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
5.HOOK
I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said "Babe, make you sing,
Make you feel like some queen"
Said "I'll take you Kathleen to your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
And rode in fucking mad
With a halo of deep black
Until my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand
Said "I'll take you Kathleen to your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line
I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
"Daddy your maid, she can't sing,
She can't feel, she's no queen"
Said "I'll take you Kathleen to your home and mine"
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line
Said "I'll take you Kathleen to your home and mine"
Good lord he hooked me 'leen out of time
6.MAN-SIZE SEXTET
I'm coming up man-sized
Skinned alive
I want to fit
I've got to get
Man-sized
I'm heading on
Handsome
Got my leather boots on
Got my girl and she's a wow
I cast my iron knickers down
Man-size no need to shout
Can you hear, can you hear me now
I'm man-sized
Man-sized
I'll measure time
I'll measure height
I'll calculate
My birth rite
Good Lord, I'm big
I'm heading on
Man-sized
Got my leather boots on
Got my girl and she's a wow
I cast my iron knickers down
Man-sized no need to shout
Can you hear, can you hear me now
My babe looking cool and neat
I'm pretty sure good enough to eat
Man-sized no need to shout
Let it all, let it all hang out
I'm man-size
Man-size
Silence my lady head
Get girl out of my head
Douse hair with gasoline
Set it light and set it free
7.HIGHWAY ‘61 REVISITED
Well, God said to Abraham "Kill me a son"
Abe said "Man, you must be putting me on"
God said "No"
Abe said "What"
God said "You do what you want to, Abe but
The next time you see me coming, you'd better run"
Abe said "Where do you want this killing done"
God said "Out on that Highway 61"
Well, Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard "Where can i go"
Howard said "There's only one place i know"
Sam said "Quick man, tell me, i got to run"
Howard just pointed with his gun
He said "that way down on 61"
"Well, Mack the finger" said Louie the King
"I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
You know where I can get rid of these things"
And he said "Now let me think for a minute son"
Said "Yes that can be easily done
Just take them down on that 61"
That highway
Highway, highway, highway
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
"My complexion" she said "is much too white"
He said "Come here and stare up into the light"
And said "Mmm you're right. Let me tell the second mother it's been done"
But the second mother with the seventh son
They were out on that highway 61
Now, the roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell on the floor
And said "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep, I think it can be easily done"
Highway
We'll just put some bleachers there out in the sun
Have it out on that 61
8.50 FOOT QUEENIE
Hey I'm one big queen

9.YURI-G
Hey there Luna
I'd like to tell you
How sad am I
So love sick I could die
Needing water
My neck's stiff, my head hurts
Been looking up all night
Been looking at the Moon, she's so bright
She's so white
She's so clean
I'm telling you
She's everything
I'd give it all
My sorry eyes
Give just everything
She's got me so mesmerized
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
It's just the things that she does to me
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
Told by a doctor
"You make her figure
Needles stick in her
She'll be your Luna"
I stuck them in real clean
I stuck them in a mile
I drew her down on me
I drew her with a smile
I'd give it all you see
I'd give my sorry eyes
I'd give just everything
She's got me so mesmerized
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
It's just the things that she does to me
Yeah I thought I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
I stuck them in a mile
I stuck them in real clean
I stuck them in a mile
I drew her down on me
I drew her with a smile
I'd give it all you see
I'd give my sorry eyes
I'd give just everything
She's got me so mesmerized
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
It's just the things that she does to me
Yeah I thought I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory
Yeah I wish I was Yuri-G
I let her walk all over me
Yeah I thought I was Yuri-G
Give back my memory

11.DRY
I caught it in the face
Coming around again
I thought it was worth waiting
You're caught up in my head
Wet sides from time to time
But mostly I'm just dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You've come all this way
No hair out of place
You put it on the stage
You put right in my face
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
No water well in sight
No water at my sides
I'm sucking on the well
I'm sucking 'till I'm white
But you leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
12.ME-JANE
Oh damn your chest-beating, just you stop your screaming
It's splitting through my head and swinging from the ceiling
Move it over, Tarzan, can't you see I'm bleeding
I've called you by your first name, good Lord it's me-Jane
And I'm rolling
Split head
And I'm moving
I'm me-Jane
Me-Jane
Oh damn your chest-beating, just you stop your screaming
All the time you're hunting swimming fishing breathing
Don't you ever stop and give me time to breathe in
I've called you by your first name, good Lord it's me-Jane
And I'm running
Split head
And I'm moving
I'm me-Jane
And I'm trying
To make sense
You're screaming
Don't load it on me
Don't load it on me
Don't load it all on me
Tarzan, I'm pleading, stop your fucking screaming
You've got me many walls around here, but no ceiling
Oh, move it over Tarzan, can't you see I'm bleeding
Good lord you never stop!
Don't load it on me
Don't load it on me
Don't load it on me
Don't load it on me-Jane
Don't load it on me-Jane
Don't load it on me-Jane
Don't load it on me-Jane
Don't load it on me-Jane
13.SNAKE
You snake you crawled
Between my legs
Said "Want it all”

Hanging below the sea

Singing

Sounding hanging breathe
I'm begging you look at me
Ecstasy
