Anglická zpěvačka, kytaristka a skladatelka, vl. jm. Polly Jean Harvey (nar. 1969). Známá jak svým originálním rockovým projevem (vliv blues, country, psychobilly…), tak i svojí hořkou osobní výpovědí a pozorností věnovanou ženským otázkám....
The West's asleep. Let England shake,
weighted down with silent dead.
I fear our blood won't rise again.
England's dancing days are done.
Another day, Bobby, for you to come home
& tell me indifference won.
Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, let's head out
to the fountain of death
& splash about, swim back and forth
& laugh out loud,
until the day is ending,
& the birds are silent in the branches,
& the insects are courting in the bushes,
& by the shores of lovely lakes
heavy stones are falling.
