Pj Harvey - 66 Promises lyrics

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
