My Own Private Revolution Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

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 

Over the city 

Revolving 

My own private revolution, revolving 

Tempt me, must be heaven sent 

With my own private revolution, revolving
