Baby In A Plastic Bag
PJ Harvey · Other Songs - PJ Harvey
There was a man who told us all about his yesterdays
He said that come the come, come revolution praise
And though we talked about him, walked about his yesterdays
No crack could snap the fact, he bore them all the way
What a day
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Calling out and falling out with everyone
He saw no application for this summering
Although it hurt a lot and burned a lot of offerings
No calling... turned the granary
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace
In a white room, in a warm man
Warm bizarre
Come and get me
Come and get me
Hang it on, hang heavy
Come
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
He said that come the come, come revolution praise
And though we talked about him, walked about his yesterdays
No crack could snap the fact, he bore them all the way
What a day
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Calling out and falling out with everyone
He saw no application for this summering
Although it hurt a lot and burned a lot of offerings
No calling... turned the granary
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace
In a white room, in a warm man
Warm bizarre
Come and get me
Come and get me
Hang it on, hang heavy
Come
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag
Baby In A Plastic Bag
PJ Harvey's "Baby In A Plastic Bag" stands as a haunting centerpiece on her 2000 album, *Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea*. Recorded during a period marked by intense personal turmoil and the release of her autobiography, the track exemplifies her signature blend of gothic rock and atmospheric noir. With a driving bassline and her distinctive, gravelly vocal delivery, the song captures the raw emotion of urban isolation and fractured relationships. It remains a defining moment in her discography, showcasing her ability to transform personal narrative into universal sonic landscapes that have influenced countless alternative and indie artists.
