Song choices

These are song lyrics from 2 of the songs we were given to choose from, it is between these two. I think i am going to choose Kate Rusby's, Stretched On Your Grave just because i like it a tiny bit more.

P J Harvey - Down By The Water

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I'm moan
And now I holler
She'll never know just what I found

That blue-eyed girl
She said no more
That blue-eyed girl
Became blue-eyed whore
Down by the water
I took her hand
Just like my daughter
See her again

Oh help me jesus
Come through the storm
I had to lose her
To do her harm
I heard her holler
I heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home

Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter

Kate Rusby - Stretched On Your Grave

I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
If you hands were in mine
I'd be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness,
It's time we were together
For I smell by the Earth
And I'm worn by the weather.

When my family think
That I'm safely in my bed
Oh, from morn until night
I am stretched out at your head
Calling out unto the earth
With tears hot and wild
For the loss of a girl
That I loved as a child.

Do you remember the night
Oh, the night when we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the touch of the frost?
Oh, and thanks be to Jesus
We did all that was right
And your maidenhead still
Is your pillar of light.

Oh, the priests and the friars
They approach me in dread
Oh, for I love you still
Oh, my life, and you're dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm

I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
If you hands were in mine
I'd be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness,
It's time we were together
For I smell by the Earth
And I'm worn by the weather.


For my own song i have millions of ideas, i just cant choose, i think i will probably choose one of my favourite songs, Ragoo by kings of leon, jut because i already have a rough idea of what i can do
