Length: 3:56
Disc: PJ Harvey's Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Tablature: Guitar

Thom lent his vocals to duet with PJ Harvey on her song "This Mess We're In" for her album Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. Harvey was quoted as saying that she wrote the song with Thom in mind to sing it with her.

Now, we all know PJ Harvey is cool... So what's this track like? Good, obviously. Not the best of neither Radiohead nor PJ Harvey, but still that takes something amazing doesn't it? This is a great track, I think PJ Harvey could have sang a bit more, but the part where she speaks as Thom sings is great.

Can you hear them?
The helicopters
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday, the evening
The mess we're in and

The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me


Night and day
I dream of making love to you now, baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen the sun rise over the river
The freeway reminded of
This mess we're in and

The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me


The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me


What were you wanting? (What was it you wanted?)
I just wanna say don't ever change now baby (I just wanna say don't ever change)
And thank you, I don't think we will meet again
(And thank you, I don't think we will meet again)
(And we must leave now)
And you must leave now (Before the sun rises over the skyscrapers)
Before the sun rises (And the city landscape comes into being)
Above skyscrapers (Sweat on my skin, oh)
Sin and

[both] This mess we're in

The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me

The city sun set over me
The city sun set over me


Note: Black is Thom, Blue is PJ Harvey.
