Joy Lyrics - Pj Harvey

Joy was her name 

A life un-wed 

Thirty years old 

Never danced a step 

She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition 

'Would have left these red hills long ago if not for my condition' 

Pitiful Joy 

She looked away 

Into a hollow sky 

Came face to face 

With her own innocence surrounding her until it never was a question 

Innocence so suffocating, now she cannot move, no question 

No hope for Joy 

No hope or faith 

She wanted to go blind 

Wanted hope to stay 

'I've been believing in nothing since I was born, it never was a question.'
