You won't find a girl in this damn world that will compare with me....


PJ Harvey & Nick Cave - Henry Lee




She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through...

~~~

Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan....

That was pretty much the sexist video I've seen in forever.
Damn.

Chill inducing sexiness. So simple, yet so effective. They had such chemistry.

Nick Cave always reminded me of that guy who could read your stories out loud and make those amazing scary noises really well.

I love P.J. too :)

Ahhh, awesome. That's always been one of my favourite Nick Cave songs.

I never realised that was Harvey in that song. She
can really *sing* when she's not screaming about
hatred! I have bad associations with Harvey because
an ex-roomie used to only play Harvey, at top volume,
whenever she was angry with me.

"Chemistry" is definitely the word that describes this video. It almost defines it as far as videos go.

I really enjoy Nick Cave. He's a great songwriter (morose at times, yeah, but he's got it). And you're right; holy cow, do PJ and Cave have it going on!

That whole album is damn good. The duet with Kylie Minogue is fantastic, as well, though the video isn't really that great.

Great song, though. I've always been struck by Cave's ability to contrast somewhat contradictory themes, and that song's a great example of where melody and content manage to coexist beautifully, when by most standards, they're mutually exclusive.
