PJ HarveyAbout
In “The Glorious Land”, Harvey critiques England and decries the myth of it being a benevolent country that cares for the welfare of its people.
She criticises its focus on warfare and sending men and women off into violent conflicts, rather than economic activities like agriculture.

The Glorious Land Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How is our glorious country ploughed?
Not by iron ploughs
How is our glorious country ploughed?
Not by iron ploughs
Our land is ploughed by tanks and feet
Feet marching
Our land is ploughed by tanks and feet
Feet marching
[Chorus]
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England
[Verse 2]
How is our glorious country sown?
Not with wheat and corn
How is our glorious country sown?
Not with wheat and corn
How is our glorious land bestowed?
How is our glorious land bestowed?
[Chorus]
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England
[Outro]
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
Its fruit is deformed children
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
Its fruit is deformed children
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
Its fruit is orphaned children
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
Its fruit is deformed children
