For the girl you have in that merry green land

Can wait forever for you to come home

just a lil homage to the music video with the most chemistry while I don't have any new ideas~

“I am donning a 70s suit made by a designer called Henry-Lee. I picked it up in Northern California at a vintage shop called Little Shop of Hers. The faux fur of insanity was a Goodwill purchase. I love how it is feminine and fierce yet serves Chewbacca energy! The tights are by a size-inclusive hosiery company Snag Tights, shoes by Melissa, vintage purse from a vintage dealer in Virginia. Miraculously sturdy plastic rings are from East Village Vintage Collective and necklace from my mother-in-law. This look says ’hot to trot, ladyboss who isn’t taking crap from anyone’ and also ’I am woman, hear me purr and roar!’ My style is inspired by the whimsical things in life such as baby animals, clowns, mermaids and unicorns and also patterns, science concepts, psychedelia, disco, glam, outrageous, statement pieces, burlesque/fetish/club fashion and FUN.”

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee

And stay all night with me

You won't find a girl in this damn world

That will compare with me

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee And stay all night with me You won’t find a girl In this damn world That will compare with me

And the wind did howl And the wind did blow La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I can’t get down and I won’t get down And stay all night with thee For the girl I have In that merry green land I love fair better than thee

And the wind did howl And the wind did blow La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

She leaned herself against a fence Just for a kiss or two And with a little pen-knife Held in her hand Where she plugged him through and through

And the wind did blow And the wind did moan La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Come take him by his lily white hands Come take him by his feet And throw him in this deep, deep well It’s more than one hundred feet

And the wind did howl And the wind did blow La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Lay there, lay there, little Henry Lee Till the flesh drops from your bones For the girl you have in that merry green land Can wait forever for you to come home And the wind did howl And the wind did blow La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee La la la la la, la la la la le A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

“ . . . to say I feel pleasure from the prospect of commencing another tour of duty, would be a departure from truth . . .” 

George Washington’s thoughts on re-election in a letter to Henry Lee, January 20, 1793. 

Record Group 59: General Records of the Department of State

File Unit: January - February, 1793

Philadelphia Jan 7.20.th 1793

Dear Sir

I have been favored with

your letter of the 6th instant congratula-

tory  on my re election to the Chair of Govern

ment -- A mind must be insensible

indeed, not to be gratefully impressed by

so distinguished & honorable a testimony

of public approbation & confidence [and]

as I suffered my name to be contemplated

on this occasion, it is more than probable

that I should, for a moment, have ex=

perienced chagreen if my re.election had

not been by a pretty respectable vote.-            

But to say I feel pleasure from the pros

pect of commencing [underlined] another tour of

duty, would be a departure from truth;

-for however it might favour of affec

tion in the opinion of the world who

by the bye can only guess at my sentim

as it never has been troubled with them;

my particular, & confidential friends

well know, that it was after a long and

[page 2]

and painful conflict in my own breast

that I was withheld (by consideration

which are not necessary to mention)

from requesting, in time, that no vote

might be thrown away upon me, it be

ing my fixed determination to return

to the walks of private life, at the end of my

term.__ I am sorry to be informed by

your letter, that death has snatched

from us my old acquaintance friend

Col.o Bassett.__The manner of it, adds to

the regret.__ We shall all follow, some

sooner & some later & from account, my

poor Nephew is likely to be amongst

the first.__

Mrs. Washington joins me in

wishing you the return of many new

& happy years.__ With very great

esteem & regard

I am always

Your affect. Serv

G Washington

His Excelly

Henry Lee

i love nick cave & the bad seeds as well as pj harvey but i think it’s doing her dirty that henry lee is her most popular song on itunes. she has so many good solo numbers!!

[nyxneon]

Saw a post about murder ballads where the woman is the one who does the killing...

And there was no Henry Lee (Nick Cave and PJ Harvey)... which is actually one of the tracks in the Murder Ballads album, and also, one of the singles.

So, here it is. Enjoy this in all its dark beauty.

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee

And stay all night with me

You won't find a girl in this damn world

That will compare with me

The wind did howl

And the wind did blow

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I can't get down and I won't get down

And stay all night with thee

For the girl I have, in that merry green land

I love fair better than thee

And the wind did howl

And the wind did blow

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

She leaned herself against a fence

Just for a kiss or two

And with a little pen-knife held in her hand

Well, she plugged him through and through

And the wind did roar

And the wind did moan

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Come take him by his lily-white hands

Come take him by his feet

And throw him in this deep, deep well

That's more than one hundred feet

And the wind did howl

And the wind did blow

La-la-la-la, la

La-la-la-la, lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee

'Til the flesh drops from your bones

For the girl you have in that merry green land

Can wait forever for you to come home

And the wind did howl

And the wind did moan

La-la-la-la, la

La-la-la-la, lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-lee

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-lee

오아시스 노래만 주구장창 얘기하는 것도 지겨워서. Red Right Hand를 좋아해서 다른 곡도 찾아봤는데 이거 좋다.
