I’ve always loved this performance from ‘The White Room’ around 1995, I saw her at Glastonbury shortly after and she was incredible …dressed a pink catsuit 😺
What a haunting performance by PJ. Cannot get this out of my head now. It will be rattling around in that empty space for weeks now. Everyone hates working for “ the man” being told what to do by a jumped up no mark!❤
There's a lot of subtletly in the lyrics I feel most people miss or just don't bother to read into. "Pretty things", "Take 'em mean", "Don't you know yet who I am?", "Go around, I'm doing good". Think about those lines with the other ones and within the context of the eerie sound.
Nobody likes “working for the man”. For me its a rebel song after years of working slavery, but hey we all have to survive. But working for the man gradually destroys your soul, being ordered around, rug ragged, treated with disrespect often frankly by incompetent managers who are there because they themselves can’t handle the practical things. That may not be the intention of the lyrics but it’s my take on them. PJs presentation is magical though, she lives the song, expressing for me the exasperation of necessity, lack of freedom we all often feel….including performing artists themselves having to do their PR, fixed date gigs, the new album to a deadline. All of us spend most of our lives “working for the man” rather than living free to choose what we want to do every day.
What a stroke of luck Polly got U2's management behind her - they managed to sell these non-songs to the public (they did state that she should do a take on "femininity" which I guess she does ok)....
This Is why I paid internet

I love her, such a cool songwriter and guitarist
Pure genius - PJ is a force of nature

The Queen of cool ❤
It's got that Going out West Tom Waits vibe. I'm so in love I haven't found anything to really get obsessed and inspired by in yonks. Wowee

The only woman I could fall in love with...
This sound, the song and her voice really sounds very strange...like a trapped soul
Yes there's definitely a strained desperation running through it. We all know how that feels.
PJ Harvey doing an imitation of Nick Cave.
15 years ago and look at sub count how is that possible YT ?????
That is proper sleaze.
the Z in the upper right... visionary...
What a Toe Tapper!
闪光我...
I am a fan of the Harvemeister, but this little fuzzy video makes me want to get the tattoo,
Lol
Nico impoved
Slinky meets Silly Puddy meets Battleship
cool synth bass - I'd say he's counting aloud to himself . .
Free guys enjoy the skin
Minimalist rock decades before Billie Elish
And eillish just mumbles words her brother writes.
how..can...even...compare?
I don’t know how people can describe Billie Elish as rock.
Billy Elish is a talentless whore, PJ is a fucking goddesssssss
@@MrJames1994UKshe ain’t rock at all
I love P J, But "lyrics" sound like what I write on a napkin in 5 min.

still waiting for PJ to marry me, saw her in 1992, she still not replied....
She is probably just busy...When she starts making sub-par music, her schedule will likely free up.
