P J HARVEY lyrics : "The Colour Of The Earth"

Louis was my dearest friend
Fighting in the Anzac trench.
Louis ran forward from the line,

And I never saw him again.

Later in the dark

I though I heard Louis' voice
Calling for his Mother, then me,
But I couldn't get to him.


He's still up there on that hill.
20 years on that hill.

Nothing more than a pile of bones,
But I think of him still


If I was asked I'd tell
The colour of the earth that day;
It was dull and browny-red,

"the colour of blood" I'd say.
