PJ Harvey "The Mess We're In"

submitted by calvados

1 decade 7 years 8 months ago

PJ Harvey is the poo. She is the first lady of alt-rock, if that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about. This somber poem of a song is a duet with Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Some of the lyrics:

Can you hear them, the helicopters
I'm in New York, no need for words now
We sit in silence, you look me
In the eye directly, you met me
I think it's Wednesday, the evening
The mess we're in

I love PJ.

Yeah great post. Every so often I end up playing this song several times in a row. Some of the lyrics sound very odd being sung by Yorke but he does it so well.
