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

Joy was her name
A life un-wed
Thirty years old,
Never danced a step
She would have left these red hills
Far behind if not for her condition
Would have left these red hills
Long ago if not for my condition

Pitiful joy
She looked away
Into a hollow sky
Came face to face

With her own innocence surrounding her
Until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating
Now she cannot move, no question

No hope for joy
No hope or faith
She wanted to go blind
Wanted hope to stay

"I've been believing in nothing since I was born
It never was a question"
No !
