| | | Artist: | Pj Harvey |
| | Album: | John Parish And Polly Jean Harvey | | Track: | Is That All There Is | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 199 | | | | Lyrics: | I remember when i was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And i'll never forget the look on my
father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the
pavement
And i stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And
when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to a fire?
Is that all
there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep
dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And
when i was twleve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on
earthe
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady
in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as i sat there watching
I had the feeling
that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to
myself
Is that all there is to the circus
Is that all there is?
If that's all
there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If
that's all there is
And then i fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the
world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each
other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And i'd
thought i'd die
But i didn't
And when i didn't
I said to myself
Is that all
there is to love
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then
let's keep
I know what you must be saying to yourselvess
If that's the way she feels
about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. i'm not ready for the final
disappointment
Cause i know just as well as i'm standing here talking to you
That when
that final moment comes
And i'm breathing my last breath
I know what i'll be saying to
myself
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my
friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all
there is | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
