Polly Jean Harvey - Angelene lyrics

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
