Angelene

From Is This Desire?1998

Written by PJ Harvey

Produced by Flood, Howard “Head” Bullivant, PJ Harvey

Lyrics

Angelene

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 color, 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 getting born and dying But I've heard there's joy untold Lays on that open road in front of me My first name is Angelene
