“Yuri-G” is arguably the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin. On April 12, 1961 Gagarin boarded the Vostok 1 spacecraft and became the first human to travel in space and the first to orbit the Earth.
In this song, PJ Harvey is in love with the moon and wishes she could fly to it like Gagarin.

Yuri-G Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey there, Luna
I'd like to tell you
How sad am I?
So lovesick, I could die
[Verse 2]
Needing water
My neck's stiff
My head hurts
Been lookin' up
All night
Been looking up
Moon, she's so bright
[Pre-Chorus]
She's so white
She's so clean
I'm telling you
She's everything
I'd give it all
My sorry eyes
Give just everything
She's got me so mesmerized
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wish I was a Yuri-G
It's just the things that she does to me
Yeah, I wish I was Yuri-G
Bring back my memory
[Verse 3]
Told by the doctor
You make a figure
Then needles, stick in her
And she'll be your Luna
[Pre-Chorus]
I stuck 'em in real clean
I stuck 'em in a mile
I drew her down on me
I drew her with a smile
I'd give it all, you see
I'd give my sorry eyes
Give just everything
She's got me so mesmerized
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wish I was a Yuri-G
It's just the things that she does to me
Yeah, I thought I was Yuri-G
Bring back my memory
[Pre-Chorus]
I stuck 'em in
I stuck 'em in real clean
I stuck 'em in a mile
I drew her down on me
I drew her with a smile
I'd give it all, you see
I'd give my sorry eyes
Give just everything
She's got me so mesmerized
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wish I was Yuri-G
It's just the things that she does to me
Yeah, I thought I was Yuri-G
Bring back my memory
Yeah, I wish I was Yuri-G
I'd let her walk all over me
Yeah, I thought I was Yuri-G
[Outro]
Bring back my memory
Bring back my memory
Bring back my memory
