PJ Harvey - The Last Living Rose

The Last Living Rose


Goddamn Europeans!
Take me back to beautiful England
And the grey damp filthiness of ages
And battered books


And fog rolling down behind the mountains
On the graveyards and dead sea-captains.
Let me walk through the stinking alleys
To the music of drunken beatings


Past the thames river glistening
Like gold hastily sold
For nothing... nothing.


Let me watch night fall on the river
The moon rise up and turn to silver
The sky move
The ocean shimmer
The hedge shake
The last living rose quiver.
