Still though, I love everything else about your comment.
while attending sva I lived in manhattan for 1, park slope for 3 years, then after graduating in wmsburg for 16 years, the overhead train in the album photo may be in the upper east side, but sasha dear, that ain't times sq (then again I'm baseing my view on this tiny image, not the actual photo, so you may be right! I thought the dark area to the left was an overhead trainline) |

Those subway cars get packed late afternoons, she's clutching her purse crossing into traffic, sexy black outfit on a hot city street, steel noise above and hustling sidewalk controlled cos, shopowners outside check this passerby with approval, or not.

Is it that there is a tiny ray of hope deep within in the grim, hopeless lyrics? Or is it the way she says, "goddamn," with her sweet voice? This song has definitely grown on me.

substantial, elegant, urban.
i think I'd name my third child Polly as an hommage to PJ Harvey.
