PJ Harvey’s tenth album, and first in seven years, begins with a clear showcase of its stylistic direction.

[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
As childhood died the old year
Made The Soldier reappear
The ash embowered night and day
As at the gate she prayed
"Wyman, am I worthy?
Speak your wordle to me"
[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
And drisk shrouded in its cloak
Holway, river, brook and oak
All souls under Orlam's reign
Made passage for the born again
[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 3]
So look behind, look before
Life knocking at death's door
And teake to your dark-haired Lord
Forever bleeding with The Word
So look before, look behind
Life and death all innertwined
And teake to your dark-haired Lord
Forever bleeding with The Word
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
