Biography

Polly Jean "PJ" Harvey MBE (born 9 October 1969 Bridport, Dorset, England) is an English musician and singer-songwriter. Harvey began her career in 1988 when she joined Bristol band [a668599] as a vocalist, guitarist and saxophone player. In January 1991, following her departure from [a=Automatic Dlamini], Polly Jean Harvey formed her own band with former bandmates [a=Rob Ellis] (drums, backing vocals) and [a344002] (bass). Harvey decided to name the trio "PJ Harvey" after rejecting other names as "nothing felt right at all or just suggested the wrong type of sound". The trio consisted of Harvey on vocals and guitars, Ellis on drums and backing vocals, and Olliver on bass. Olliver later departed to rejoin the still-active Automatic Dlamini. He was subsequently replaced with [a=Steven Vaughan]. The band released two albums: "[Link]" (1992) and "[Link]" (1993). The band's final tour was to support [a=U2] in August 1993, after which the trio officially disbanded. Since that PJ Harvey started recording music solo under the same name.

LYRICS

My first name Angelene
Prettiest mess you've ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls I'll let him in
Rose is my colour and white
Pretty mouth, and green my eyes

I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect my soul
And come to me

Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
It lays open like a road

Dear God, life ain't kind
People gettin born then dying
But I've heard there's joy untold
Lays open like a road in front of me

Two thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two thousand miles away
Lays open like a road

It seems so far away
I see men come and go
Two thousand miles until I reach that open road

My first name's angelene
