Текст песни PJ Harvey — 66 promises
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
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
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted ti to be
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted it to be
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
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
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted ti to be
And it's not what I thought it would be
And it's not what I wanted it to be

Краткое описание
Песня «66 promises» от PJ Harvey рассказывает о разочаровании и невыполненных обещаниях в отношениях. В тексте упоминается 66 обещаний, которые были сделаны, 66 поцелуев на обгоревших пальцах и 66 любовников, которых нужно пройти до того момента, когда можно будет рассказать. Певица также говорит о жизни без смысла и стремлении к счастью через свободу. Она ждет чего-то, чтобы разрушить стены удачи и окна во внешний мир. Но после всего исполнившиеся обещания приносят лишь разочарование — не то, что ожидалось или хотелось получить из этих отношений.
Общий настрой песни выражает разочарование и осознание того, что реальность может быть далекой от того, что мы представляли или хотели для себя.
