Somebody's Down, Somebody's Name Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

Somebody's down, somebody's name 

Saw it all happen 

It took place at my window, I was looking down 

I had no time 

Just time to say "hold on, I'm coming" 

He's lying there 

It's all just too late 

Somebody's down, somebody's name 

Saw it fall and all take place 

At my window, I was looking down 

Oh for pete's sake, hold on, I'm coming 

He's moved on now 

And it all passed 

It's all too late 

Somebody's down, somebody's name 

Saw it all with my own eyes 

Saw it all as clear as day 

Clear as blue 

Blue fucking daylight 

I say 

Hold on, I'm coming 

Somebody down, somebody's name 

Somebody down, somebody's name 

Hold on 

No more 

Hold on no more 

Hold on, I'm coming 

Don't you tell me it's too late 

Somebody's down, somebody's name 

Pushing up daisies out of the ground 

Thought I heard him call her name 

By the time he hit the ground 

Another day, another town 

Another body on the ground 

By the time the sky went grey 

Nobody down, nobody came 

I just said 

Oh lord, no more x2 

Oh lord, I'm coming 

Don't you tell me it's too late
