Artist/Band: PJ Harvey
Lyrics for Song: No Girl So Sweet
Lyrics for Album: Is This Desire? [1998]



In came the girl with the sad eyes and

asked him over again

'Was I too weak? Was I a child?' and

'Can't we leave here and start again?'



Said, 'I don't mind if you take me down' and

'I don't mind if you break it all', but

'How much more can you take from me?'

'How much more can you take from me?'



'I'd like to take you inside my head'

'I'd like to take you inside of me'

'You came from Heaven' is all he said,

'You came from Heaven and came here to me,

and I love you......... '



He drove it fast to make the night

and looked at his angel where she lay

Resting her head, and closed her eyes

Outside the heat and the Summer fades

Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen

Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen

'There ain't nothing, no girl so sweet'

'Took her from heaven and gave her to me'


No Girl So Sweet

Released on PJ Harvey's 1998 album Is This Desire?, 'No Girl So Sweet' stands as a haunting centerpiece of her mid-period work. The track exemplifies her signature blend of folk sensibilities and gothic atmosphere, characterized by her distinctive falsetto and the use of found sounds to create a textured, unsettling soundscape. Recorded during a time when Harvey was exploring the darker undercurrents of desire and isolation, the song reflects the psychological tension found in her broader discography from that era. It remains a defining recording that showcases her ability to transform simple melodies into complex emotional narratives, influencing subsequent artists in the indie and alternative rock genres who sought to merge intimacy with atmospheric dread.
