Plants And Rags
PJ Harvey · Dry [1992]
ease myself into a body bag
dreamt a man
he fed me fine food, he gave me shiny things
dreamt a man he fed me fine food
white and black
are you looking for the sun boy?
the sun doesn't shine down here no no no, in the shadow
house and home
who thought they could take away that place?
lead us outside, lead us out quietly
lead us outside' lead us out quietly
