Memorials Lyrics - The Hope Six Demolition Project - Pj Harvey

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

At the refreshments stand 

A boy throws out his hands 

As if to feed the starlings 

But really he throws nothing 

It's just to watch them jump 

See the people coming 

They're moving over the grass 

To squeeze in two plastic chairs 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln 

Three notes, a bugle call 

A black man in overalls 

Arrives to empty the trash 

Hauls it to a metal hatch 

A doorway opens up 

To the underworld 

The boy throws empty hands 

And the starlings jump
