The Garden Lyrics

Cover art for The Garden lyrics by PJ Harvey

Has NO ONE considered the Biblical reference to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? Original Sin, Fall from grace, Paradise Lost... they're all very basic religious motifs, and this album is full of literary references. This was one that was very clear to me. cgnjny, I liked the idea of Jesus' last night in Gethsemane, but he had no sins to think of. He was perfect. The idea of passion, lust, sin and loss of innocence seem to point clearly to a very intriguing (and more poetic than Biblically accurate) interpretation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Another of the literary references I've noticed in this album, along with "A Perfect Day Elise" "The Wind" "Angelene" "Catherine", etc.

Er. Adam and Eve? Listen to the lyrics again, it's referring to two men.
