66 Promises Lyrics - Singles - Polly Jean Harvey

Sixty six promises 

Fell from your lips 

Sixty six kisses to 

Rest on my charred fingertips 

And sixty six lovers 

To come till I tell 

Sixty six postions to take on this 

Well-worn trail 

Sixty six magicians 

Deliver the goods 

Documenting our marriage for some 

Silent film in hollywood 

Is it not what you thought it would be? 

Was it not what you wanted it to be 

Was I not what you thought I would be? 

Was it not what you wanted it to be? 

Sixty miles talking 

But making no sense 

A life out of liberty 

And the pursuit of 

Happiness 

Waiting for something 

To smash a few wholes 

In the wall of good fortune 

And the windows to an 

Outer world 

And sixty six promises 

They came in a kiss 

Provided a meaning 

Now I see how it reallly is
