P.j. Harvey: "66 Promises" Lyrics

Sixty six promises

Fell from your lips

Sixty six kisses to

Rest on my charred fingertips

And Sixty six lovers

To come till I tell

Sixty six postions to take on this

Well-worn trail

Sixty six magicians

Deliver the goods

Documenting our marriage for some

Silent film in Hollywood

Is it not what you thought it would be?

Was it not what you wanted it to be

Was I not what you thought I would be?

Was it not what you wanted it to be?

Sixty miles talking

But making no sense

A life out of liberty

And the pursuit of

Happiness

Waiting for something

To smash a few wholes

In the wall of good fortune

And the windows to an

Outer world

And sixty six promises

They came in a kiss

Provided a meaning

Now I see how it reallly is

And it's not what I thought it would be

And it's not what I wanted ti to be

And it's not what I thought it would be

And it's not what I wanted it to be
