starring PJ HARVEY.
from Shee-la-na-gig:
"Look at these my child-bearing hips
Look at these my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these my work strong arms and
You've got to see my bottle full of charm"
from Rid of Me:
"I'll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
Oh you're not rid of me
Yeah you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'm gonna twist your head off, see"
from Rub 'Til It Bleeds:
"I'm calling you weak"
from Legs:
"Did you ever wish me dead
Oh lover boy, oh fever head
No you must no you must not go away
How will you ever walk again
And I, I might as well be dead
But I could kill you instead"
those are my favorites.

i wrote a paper in freshman comp about PJ Harvey and quoted my fav lyrics from "Legs" (which i see are some of yours as well--saweeeet)! The last two lines you put up are my absolute fav :)
The whole range, from angry to sexy and everything in between. I also like Poe when it comes to lyrics:
From Hey Pretty:
"i see a stairway so i follow it down
into the belly of a whale where my secrets echo all around
you know me now but to do better than that
you got to follow me
boy i'm tryin to show you where i'm at
hey pretty don't you wanna take a ride with me
through my world
hey pretty don't you wanna kick and slide
through my world..."
And:
"i'm in a building that has 2000 floors
and when they all fall down
i think you know it's you they're fallin for
i can't forget i am a sole architect
i built the shadows here
i built the growlin voice i fear
you add it up but to do better than that
you got to follow me
boy i'm tryin to show you where i'm at..."
Utterly fantastic.
