Heela
PJ Harvey · Dance Hall At Louse Point [1996]
I was lost in love
I was lost inside
Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile
Now I'm saved
Saved
Now i'm saved
Now i'm saved
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
{She ...}
{She was a girl, she got her hair done nice}
{She said "i've given all i got to my healer man}
{He put his hands on me, showed me what i am"}
Saved
When i got my healer by my side
I'm pushing daylight, pushing ?
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
I was lost inside
Till he said to me
You've gotta lovely smile
Now I'm saved
Saved
Now i'm saved
Now i'm saved
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
Heal me with his hands
Heal with his heart
When he said to me
No no we'd never part
{She ...}
{She was a girl, she got her hair done nice}
{She said "i've given all i got to my healer man}
{He put his hands on me, showed me what i am"}
Saved
When i got my healer by my side
I'm pushing daylight, pushing ?
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
When i got my healer by my side
Heela
PJ Harvey's "Heela" stands as a haunting centerpiece on her 1996 album *Dance Hall At Louse Point*. Recorded during a pivotal period in her career, the track exemplifies her signature blend of atmospheric textures and raw vocal intensity. The song explores themes of isolation and emotional turbulence, utilizing a sparse arrangement that allows Harvey's distinctive voice to dominate. Released alongside works like "Crawl Home" and "Big Exit," "Heela" reflects the brooding, introspective nature of her mid-90s output. It remains a defining recording that showcases her ability to transform personal anguish into universal sonic landscapes, cementing her status as a formidable force in alternative rock.
