The Pocket Knife — текст песни (P J HARVEY)

Please don`t make my wedding dress

I`m too young to marry yet

Can you see my pocket knife?

You can`t make me be a wife

How the world just turns & turns

How does anybody learn?



Mummy, put your needle down

How did you feel when you were young?

Cos I feel like I`ve just been born

Even though I`m getting on

How the world slips by so fast



How does anybody last?

As the world keeps coming

And the bees keep humming

And I`ll keep running



Flowers I can do without

I don`t wanna be tied down

White material will stain

My pocket knife`s gotta shiny blade

I`m not trying to cause a fuss

I just wanna make my own fuck-ups

I`m not trying to break your heart

I`m just trying not to fall apart
