KEEP VISIBLE




I've been trying to show you over and over

Look at these my child baring hips

Look at these my ruby red ruby lips

Look at these my work strong arms and

You've got to see my bottle full of charm

I lay it all at your feet

You turn around and say back to me

He said

Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

You exhibitionist

Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

You exhibitionist

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Just like the first time he said he didn't care

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Heard it before, no more

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Turn the corner another one there

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Heard it before

He said

Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

You exhibitionist

Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

You exhibitionist

Put money in your idle hole

Put money in your idle hole

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Just like the first time he said he didn't care

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair

Heard it before, no more

Gonna take my hips to a man who cares

Turn the corner another one there

Gonna take my hips to a man who cares

Heard it before

He said

Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

You exhibitionist

Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig

You exhibitionist

Put money in your idle hole

Put money in your idle hole



He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'

He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'



He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'

He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'



He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'

He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'



He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'

He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'


Sheela-Na-Gig

Released on the Peel Sessions 1991-2004 compilation, PJ Harvey's 'Sheela-Na-Gig' stands as a haunting centerpiece of her early work. Recorded during her prolific period with John Peel, the track exemplifies her signature blend of folk roots and gothic atmosphere. The song features a distinctive, rhythmic guitar line that drives a brooding, atmospheric soundscape, characteristic of the dark, introspective style that defined her debut era. As part of her extensive discography, this recording captures the raw energy and unique vocal delivery that made her a pivotal figure in alternative music. It remains a notable example of her ability to transform traditional folk structures into something unsettling and deeply personal.
