PJ Harvey - The Devil Lyrics






As soon as I'm left alone
The devil wanders into my soul

And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself

I go out
To the old milestone
Insanely expecting
You to come there
Knowing that I wait for you there
That I wait for you there

Come!
Come!
Come here at once
Come!
Come
On a night with no moon

Because all of my being is now in pining
All of my being is now in pining

What formerly had cheered me
Now seems
Insignificant
Insignificant

PJ Harvey The Devil Comments
  1. A.... ....

    5 seconds in and I knew I would love the full album when I listened for the first time, a masterpiece.

  2. J.... T....

    I saw her in 2016 in NZ. She played To Talk To You. She was like a statue, then halfway through she turned her head down to the audience and there was this profound fright in the crowd just from her gaze. Unreal.

  3. E.... I....

    Too late for you

  4. s.... d....

    my fave pj album ever...

  5. P.... B....

    Une merveille , ce disque ! ! ( White Chalk )

  6. i.... ....

    ...and I pretend to myself.

  7. B.... a....

    What if pillows were toast

  8. s.... ....

    fucking poignant

  9. R.... B....

    holding hands is as good as it gets

  10. P.... ....

    Immensely beautiful album!

    That was an insightful message to your man and a nice piece of education for me. I think guys can do that too. Especially in a new love-interest type situation when you don't want the excitement of getting to know someone and learning more about what makes them tick to ever stop! So we keep fueling the fire.

  12. R.... E....

    I am feeling like spending my day in study and quiet meditation but this worry that if I do that you will feel rejected and then you will pull away from me. Please don't. Women do this thing where when we fall in love with a man we drop our prior interests. I've been doing that and it's part of why I'm off balance. I love you still don't worry I'm just...tired of not doing my own work too

  13. S.... S....

    Frighteningly​ beautiful. Embrace the psychosis. Deny the psychosis. Allow the psychosis to be the embroidery of your soul.

  14. A.... R....

    As soon as I'm left alone
    The Devil wanders into my soul
    And I pretend to myself
    And I pretend to myself

    I go out to the old milestone
    Insanely expecting you to come there knowing
    That I wait for you there
    That I wait for you there

    Come, come
    Come here at once
    Come, come
    On a night with no moon

    Because all of my being
    Is now in pining
    All of my being
    Is now in pining

    What finally cheered me
    Now seems
    Insignificant
    Insignificant
