This Mess We're In (Demo) - PJ Harvey & Tim Phillips

It's your job to carry water In a broken jar all day You've been suffering so long now Nobody knows your name Remember what this feels like Remember there's no blame And there's nothing unnatural under the sun Everyone's a baby at the start of this run Thank the sky for the deluge Forget your nightmares and the dreams that didn't come true You don't need no map when every road ends I heard from God and She said "I bless this mess I see you're doing your best I blеss this mess Goddamn, you're doing your best" So hot you try to shoot thе sun You just can't keep your rage at bay Stop your roaming like you got no home Forget about that pudding, babe Remember what this feels like Remember there's no blame And there's nothing unnatural under the sun Everyone's a baby at the start of this run Thank the sky for the deluge Forget your nightmares and the dreams that didn't come true You don't need no map when every road ends I heard from God and She said "I bless this mess Goddamn, you're doing your best I bless this mess I see you're doing your best" So thank the sky for the deluge Forget your nightmares and the dreams that didn't come true You don't need no map when every road ends I heard from God and She said "I bless this mess I see you're doing your best I bless this mess Goddamn, you're doing your best" I bless this mess I bless this mess I bless this mess I bless this mess Goddamn it, you're doing it your best

I could drive you home Walk you to the door You could ask me up And I'm pretty sure That your Whiskey breath Would land on me tongue Yeah, I know we could and I would but I don't wanna mess this up Go too far too fast I don't wanna do that You ain't just some girl in my truck That I'm tryin' to pick up nah If we go and strike a match now Will it light a fire that's gonna burn us down And mess this up 'Cuz I don't wanna mess this up by messin' around We could chase this buzz On into your room 'Til the morning comes Girl I want to You know I do But I don't wanna mess this up Go too far too fast I don't wanna do that You ain't just some girl in my truck That I'm tryin' to pick up nah If we go and strike a match now Will it light a fire that's gonna burn us down And mess this up 'Cuz I don't wanna mess this up by messin' around By messin' around I don't wanna rush If it's gonna just Mess this up I don't wanna mess this up Go too far too fast I don't wanna do that You ain't just some girl in my truck That I'm tryin' to pick up nah If we go and strike a match now Will it light a fire that's gonna burn us down And mess this up 'Cuz I don't wanna mess this up by messin' around By messin' around I don't wanna Mess this up

I live and die through England Through England It leaves a sadness Remedies never were within my reach I cannot go on as I am Withered vine reaching from the country That I love England You leave a taste A bitter one I have searched for your springs But people, they stagnate with time Like water, like air To you, England, I cling Undaunted, never failing love for you England

I caught it in the face Coming around again I thought it was worth waiting You're caught up in my head Wet sides from time to time But mostly I'm just dry You leave me dry You leave me dry You leave me dry You've come all this way No hair out of place You put it all on the stage You put right in my face You leave me dry You leave me dry You leave me dry A water well in sight No water at my sides I'm sucking on the well I'm sucking till I'm white But you leave me dry You leave me dry You leave me dry You leave me dry You leave me dry
