The Last Living Rose

The Last Living Rose - PJ Harvey

Lyrics by：Polly Jean Harvey

Composed by：Polly Jean Harvey

Goddamn' Europeans

Take me back to beautiful England

And the grey damp filthiness of ages

And battered books

And fog rolling down behind the mountains

On the graveyards and dead sea-captains

Let me walk through the stinking alleys

To the music of drunken beatings

Past the thames river glistening

Like gold hastily sold

For nothing nothing

Let me watch night fall on the river

The moon rise up and turn to silver

The sky move

The ocean shimmer

The hedge shake

The last living rose quiver
