P.J. Harvey Lyrics

Album: Dance Hall At Louse Point

Taut

Jesus save me

 Jesus save me

 

 Can I tell you something ?

 Can I tell you a story ?

 It's about me and Billy

 'Cause I remember

 

 I remember it all started when he bought that car

 It was the first thing he'd ever owned apart from me

 And the color was red

 And the color was red and he drove me

 He drove me out of my mind

 I'm over it now

 It was spring or summer sixty five I don't remember

 Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel

 And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck

 And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head

 When he put me there in the back seat, and he said

 

 Jesus save me

 Jesus save me

 

 Inherited his father's hate that what he'd say

 And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow

 He could make joy come loose inside

 I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive

 And I would do anything for him

 It just wasn't enough

 It was never enough

 He'd turn to me and say

 He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"

 And he wanted everything

 He wanted everything

 He wanted the honey from the king

 Each new moon

 He used to make me pray

 Every morning

 Hidden in the backseat, such Jesus

 He'd make me pray

 And he'd in there when he wanted everything

 He wanted the honey from the king

 Say it

 "Even the son of god had to die my darling"

 Go on, say it!

 

 Jesus save me

 Jesus save me
