"My Own Private Revolution" lyrics

PJ Harvey Lyrics

"My Own Private Revolution"

Fate has always
One might say
Driven me
From place to place
Love on the stage
Love on the stage
Up and carried
Me away

I have pursued my dream
All across the sky
All across the soil
And left my joyous town
When I was young
I watched it from my door
With the eyes of a child
You seemed so clear

My own private revolution
My own private revolution
In my own private revolution
My own private revolution

Over the town
We fly out
Lovers embracing
Outside the golden gates
Love on the stage
Love on the stage
Nor must we endure
Any separation

Over the town
Revolution
We fly out
My own private revolution
Over the city
Made my own private revolution, revolving
We fly out
My own private revolution, revolving

I have found purity, simplicity
Inside the face of children
The voice of divinity
In my own private revolution

My own private revolution
Over the town
Made my own private revolution, revolving
Over the city
My own private revolution, revolving
I don't need you tempting
With my own private revolution, revolving
Must be heaven sent
