Memphis Lyrics

Cover art for Memphis lyrics by PJ Harvey

dammit, some things got cut out.

A few corrections:

"Untie me, we're taking away" should be Untimely you were taken away

and I always thought that

"Somehow I know you're driving slow" was "Somehow I know you drank it slow", a reference to Jeff's drowning -- the "receiving just everything" might imply that death was something Jeff wanted all along, as he did refer to it in a lot of his songs.

Also, "send it away to bring it back again" is a line shared with the Jeff Buckley song, "morning theft".
