written on the forehead

pj harvey'in let england shake albümünden, pj'in resmi internet sitesinde dinlemeye sunduğu ilk şarkı. leziz.

People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
People throw belongings; a lifetime's earnings
Amongst the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk

date palms, orange and tangerine trees
and eyes were crying for everything
(Let it burn! Let it burn, burn, burn...)

So I talked to an old man by the generator
He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river
He turned to me and surveyed the scene
Said, "War is here in our beloved city."

Some dove in the river and tried to swim away
Through 10.000 tons of sewage; fate written on their foreheads
date palms and orange and tangerine trees
and eyes were crying for everything

Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
