PJ Harvey - Big Exit
Look out ahead
See danger come
I want a pistol
I want a gun
I’m scared baby
I wanna run
This world’s crazy
Give me the gun
Baby Baby
Ain’t it true?
I’m immortal
When I’m with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
And I want to go to
A different land
I met a man
He told me straight
“You gotta leave
It’s getting late”
Too many cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No one else has done
Baby Baby
Ain’t it true?
I’m immortal when I’m with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
And I want to go to
A different land
Sometimes it rains so hard
And I feel the hurt
In my heart
Feels like the end of the world
I see the children
Sharp as knives
I see the children
Dead-end lives
Beautiful people
Beautiful girls
I just feel like it’s the end of the world
I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I can’t find
A safe place to stand
I’m scared baby
I wanna run
This world’s crazy
Give me the gun
Baby Baby
Ain’t it true ?
I’m immortal
When I’m with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I want to go to
A different land

PJ Harvey - This Is Love
I can’t believe life’s so complex
When I just wanna sit here and watch you undress
I can’t believe life’s so complex
When I just wanna sit here and watch you undress
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love that I’m feelin’
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
Wanna chase you ‘round the table, wanna touch your head
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
Wanna chase you ‘round the table, wanna touch your head
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love, love that I’m feelin’
I can’t believe that the axis turns
On suffering when you taste so good
I can’t believe that the axis turns
On suffering when my head it burns
Now, love, love, love that I’m feelin’
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love, love that I’m feelin’
Even in the summer, even in the spring
You’ll never get too much of a wonderful thing
You’re the only story that I’ve never told
You’re my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
You’re the only story that I’ve never been told
You’re my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling as they’re tumbling in
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me tumbling in
Keep the walls from falling as they’re tumbling in
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love, love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love that I’m feelin’
This is love, love, love, love that I’m feelin’
This is love, this is love that I’m feelin’

Video: PJ Harvey Performs for David Cameron
Last year, PJ Harvey debuted material from Let England Shake on The Andrew Marr Show with an autoharp-backed take on the war-themed set’s title track, performed live in front of then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Today — a few tours, plenty of critical praise, and her second Mercury Prize later — Harvey returned to the BBC talk show for a perfect bookend to her foray into topical music: “The Last Living Rose,” performed for Britain’s current Prime Minister, David Cameron. Unshaken by the potentially awkward situation, Harvey not only unleashed a great solo version of the tune, but she also worked in a few political points about funding for the arts and the economy before taking the stage. Check out the full interview and song above.
