Is PJ Harvey.
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
–
Baby, baby ain’t it true
I’m immortal when I’m with you
But I want a pistol in my hand
–
I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I can’t find
A safe place to stand
–
Just give me something I can believe
–
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people are out of love
–
How did we get here, to this point of living?
–
One in the morning
When you said something
That I’ve never forgotten
When you said something
That was really important
–
One tooth for one eye
He’s come to find me
–
I can’t believe life’s so complex
When I just wanna sit here and watch you undress
–
I can’t believe that the axis turns on suffering
While my head, it burns
–
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
–
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
–
But one day we’ll float
Take life as it comes

Most of these songs are taken from my fave album by her, Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea. It’s very aptly named.
