This Mess We're In Lyrics

Cover art for This Mess We're In lyrics by PJ Harvey

It really is about a one night stand they spent. Shit is they shouldn't have, for whatever reason.. oh, the mess. And it's she who leaves... You're all missing the best part of the lyrics, when PJ and Thom are both singing in turns, PJ sings:

What was it you wanted? I just wanna say don't ever change and thank you i don't think we will meet again i really must leave now before the sunrises over the skyscrapers and the city's landscape comes into being the sweat on my skin... oh!

this last line kills me every time. Enjoy!
