Pig Will Not

PJ Harvey · A Woman A Man Walked By [2009]

I, I, I will

I will not

I will not

No, I will not

No, I will not

I won't

I won't

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

Hunter the associator

He crashes high

Shakes the disbeliever

Woof woof

Shakes the disbeliever's head

Shakes him harder, instructing you well

Woof woof

Woof woof

Woof woof

Woof woof

Hear me you healer,

Your rubbish inside your rotting mind

Woof woof

I am your guardian

I am your fairy, do my will

Woof woof

Woof woof

Woof woof

Woof woof

Shit lovers, this is true love

That we're doing now

Your lover that was before, all broken

Your face all messed up

Woof woof

Woof woof

Woof woof

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

I will not

Pig Will Not

PJ Harvey's 'Pig Will Not' stands as a haunting centerpiece on the 2009 album A Woman A Man Walked By. Recorded in the stark, atmospheric style characteristic of her later work, the track blends ethereal vocals with a brooding, minimalist arrangement that underscores themes of isolation and introspection. The song exemplifies Harvey's ability to craft intimate sonic landscapes where sparse instrumentation amplifies emotional weight. Released during a period marked by her exploration of female identity and urban solitude, the recording reflects her signature blend of folk roots and gothic sensibilities. It remains a defining moment in her discography, showcasing her mastery of mood and texture without relying on lyrical complexity.
