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
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
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
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
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.
