The Pocket Knife Lyrics - Pj Harvey

Please don't make my wedding dress 

I'm too young to marry yet 

Can you see my pocket knife? 

You can't make me be a wife 

How the world just turns & turns 

How does anybody learn? 

Mummy, put your needle down 

How did you feel when you were young? 

'cause I feel like I've just been born 

Even though I'm getting on 

How the world slips by so fast 

How does anybody last? 

As the world keeps coming 

And the bees keep humming 

And I'll keep running 

Flowers I can do without 

I don't wanna be tied down 

White material will stain 

My pocket knife's gotta shiny blade 

I'm not trying to cause a fuss 

I just wanna make my own fuck-ups 

I'm not trying to break your heart 

I'm just trying not to fall apart
