Polly Jean Harvey Hook lyrics

I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came

You said, "Babe
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen"

Said, "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line

And rode in, fucking mad
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand

Said, "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line


I'm hooked
Oh, beautiful
Oh, higher
Oh, beautiful

Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
"Daddy your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen"

Said, "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line

Said, "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
'Leen out of time
