Me-Jane
PJ Harvey · Rid Of Me [1993]
You're splitting through my head and swinging from the ceiling
Oh move it over tarzan can't you see I'm bleeding
I called you by your first name.. Good Lord It's me-jane
I heard it..
Split head..
I mean it..
Oh Me-Jane
Me-Jane
Oh damn your chest beating just you stop your screaming
All the time you'rer hunting screaming fishing breathing
Don't you ever stop and give me time to breath in?
I've called you by your first name.. Good Lord it's Me-Jane
I heard it..
Split head..
I mean it..
Me-Jane
I'm trying
To make sense
.. You're screaming
Don't ruin it on me
Don't ruin it on me
Don't ruin it all on me
Tarzan I'm pleading stop your fucking screaming
You know theres many walls.. I'm hanging from the ceiling
Oh move it on tarzan can't you see I'm bleeding?
Good Lord you never stop..
Don't ruin it on me
Don't ruin it on me
Don't ruin it on me
Don't ruin it on me (Jane)
Don't ruin it on me (Jane)
Don't ruin it on me (Jane)
Don't ruin it on me (Jane)
Don't ruin it on me (Jane)
Don't ruin it on me ... Jane
Me-Jane
