PJ Harvey - In The Dark Places Lyrics

I have heard this song so often over the years and it still makes me shiver.

We got up early
Washed our faces
Walked the fields
And put up crosses
Passed through
The damned mountains
Went hellwards
And some of us returned
And some of us did not

In the fields and in the forests
Under the moon and under the sun
Another summer has passed before us

And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets
Of this world

So our young men
Hid with guns
In the dirt
And in the dark places

Our young men
Hid with guns
In the dirt
And in the dark places

Our young men
Hid with guns
In the forests
And in the dark places

And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets
Of this world

this song is fucking amazing

"We got up early,
Washed our faces,
Walked the fields
Put up crosses.
Passed through
The damned mountains,
Went hellwards,
And some of us returned,
And some of us did not."

The chorus is perfect

Sublime

My idol. This woman is incredible. Incredible.

There is a light and it never goes out

She moves my heart, captured my mind

Beautiful.

Batman comics brought me here.

Богиня! Обожаю её творчество!

I wish this was first PJ's style.

I like better the PJ Harvey 1995-2004 period.

Great song.

Je réédite ici et ce soir. Cet album demeure un pur chef-d’œuvre!

Pj Harvey is consolation in my sorrows and my joys.

PJ, you are perfect!

No banality and sounds excellent! Thanks to Polly and the band :-)  The older she gets, the better music she makes and comes up with significant ideas for lyrics.

So our young men hid with guns, in the dirt and in the dark places.

+oksimoronko To take it literally they are now for sure with the "refuge crisis"

And not one man has, and not one woman has revealed the secrets of this world.

Masterpiece! PJ is great.

A song that catches my heart, from an incredible album. Thank you PJ...
