Taut Lyrics

by P.j. Harvey



Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Can I tell you something
Can I tell you a story
Its about me and billy
Because I remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
Im over that now
It was spring or summer 65 I dont remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a deaths
Head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

And everybodys father is hated for what he was saying
And he doesnt
Hed reluctantly cut loose inside
I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him,
It just wasnt enough
It was never enough, hed turn to me and say
Hed, hed say even the son of God had to die, my darling
And hed
And hed
Hed

Jesus!
Hed make me pray. . .
Even the son of God had to die my darling
Come on, say it!

Jesus save me
Jesus save me
