White Chalk Lyrics

Cover art for White Chalk lyrics by PJ Harvey

Yeah, PJ was born in Dorset.

I don't think this song meant to be sad. I think it's about always being tied in your heart to a certain place. The place where the narrator grew up, the place she played as a child, the place she had kids. Those hills have been around longer than her, and they'll be there once she's gone. No matter where she goes, she'll always end up back at those hills.

Born over the border in Somerset. Raised in Dorset. Still a beautiful West Country genius regardless of where she was born.
