No Girl So Sweet - Lyrics by Polly Jean Harvey


Lyrics

In came the girl with the saddened eyes
And asked him over again and again
"was i too weak ? was i a child ?
And can't we leave here and start again ?"
And i love you

Said "i don't mind if you take me down"
And "i don't mind if you break it all"
But "how much more can you take from me"
"how much more can you take from me"

"i'd like to take you inside my head"
"i'd like to take you inside of me"
"you came from heaven is all he said"
"you came from heaven and came here to me
And i love you

He drove it fast to make the night
And looked at his angel where she lay
Resting her head and closed her eyes
And outside the heat and the summer fades

Deep in the sky a storm he'd seen
Deep in the sky a storm he'd seen
"there ain't nothing no girl so sweet"

"took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"took her from heaven and gave her to me"
"took her from heaven and gave her to me"
