Cover art for Plants And Rags lyrics by PJ Harvey

After listening to this song for some time I've been getting visions of holocaust survivors

@alecspen: me too. like a couple seperated by the holocaust and he kept presents of plants and rags for her (she then compares them to fine food and shiny things, because they mean more than dinner and jewellery to her). Don't think they both survive though - the eerieness of "they lead us outside and they lead us out quietly suggests death to me." Definately don't think the love survives anyway (who thought they could take away that place). I suppose you can twist any story anyway you want to fit it really! But visions of holocaust victims for me...
