PJ Harvey – Big Exit Lyrics 20 years ago
Anyone who thinks it's about suicide is taking the gun thing WAY too literal. You should know not to take PJ lyrics literally. Shame on you. And Jonny isn't much less off base.

My take is that it's about being paranoid about being in love. On one hand, being in love makes you feel invulnerable to everyone else. But on the other, it makes you much more vulnerable to the person you are in love with.

She wants to run to him, but on the other hand, she isn't sure if she can trust him.

PJ Harvey – This Wicked Tongue Lyrics 20 years ago
It's basically an atheist talking to a Christian.

"This wicked tongue says
Go on, taste everything"

A Genesis reference, basically saying "don't limit yourself, live life to its fullest, regardless of how moral others may deem it."

"And the silence rang and rang and rang and rang and rang"

She argues with logic, and they have no valid arguments to back up their superstition. Try asking a Christian why they believe what they do sometime, and observe the weak answer they give.

PJ Harvey – Pocket Knife Lyrics 20 years ago
She is basically saying she is violently opposed to marriage, because she sees it as a sign on forfeiting her youth. She has too much left to accomplish in life to settle down now.

Self-explainitory. If you don't get it, read Genesis in the bible.

Fiona Apple – Not About Love Lyrics 20 years ago
A few corrections on the lyrics.

She is definitely saying "ache". Turn up the speakers and listen closely. It's faint, but she definitely makes a "ck" sound.

"Sick with lack of basis"

"While he's spittin' his cud"
Cud is food regurgitated from the first stomach to the mouth of a ruminant and chewed again. Basically, he is repeating himself.

"Conversation once colored by esteem"

"I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown"

"What is this posture I have to stare at"

"Cuz' I chose to listen to that filthy mouth"
