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

Speak to me of universal laws The whores hustle and the hustlers whore All around me people bleed Speak to me your song of greed Speak to me of your inner charm Of how you'll keep me safe from harm I don't think so, I don't see Speak to me of your inner peace Little people at the amusement park City people in the dark Speak to us, send us a sign Tell us something to keep us trying The whores hustle and the hustlers whore Too many people out of love The whores hustler and the hustlers whore This city's ripped right to the core Speak to me of heroin and speed Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed Speak to me the language of love The language of violence, the language of the heart This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough Speak to me of heroin and speed Just give me something I can believe The whores hustle and the hustlers whore Too many people out of love The whores hustler and the hustlers whore This city's ripped right to the core
