Taut Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

Jesus save me 

Jesus save me 

Can I tell you something ? 

Can I tell you a story ? 

It's about me and billy 

'cause I remember 

I remember it all started when he bought that car 

It was the first thing he'd ever owned apart from me 

And the color was red 

And the color was red and he drove me 

He drove me out of my mind 

I'm over it now 

It was spring or summer sixty five I don't remember 

Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel 

And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck 

And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head 

When he put me there in the back seat, and he said 

Jesus save me 

Jesus save me 

Inherited his father's hate that what he'd say 

And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow 

He could make joy come loose inside 

I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive 

And I would do anything for him 

It just wasn't enough 

It was never enough 

He'd turn to me and say 

He'd, he'd say "even the son of God had to die, my darling" 

And he wanted everything 

He wanted everything 

He wanted the honey from the king 

Each new moon 

He used to make me pray 

Every morning 

Hidden in the backseat, such jesus 

He'd make me pray 

And he'd in there when he wanted everything 

He wanted the honey from the king 

Say it 

"even the son of God had to die my darling" 

Go on, say it! 

Jesus save me 

Jesus save me
