PJ Harvey
"Leaving California"

California, leaving California

No one but me is walking
Under palms that give no shade
I'm leaving you today

California

How cruel was I to think that
I could make you change?
Oh give me some shade
Oh England, come soon
How could I have believed
That i could live and breathe in you?

California killed me

I think it's time to leave
I told no one I'd stay
I think it's time to leave
