... I didn’t give up on PJ Harvey, PJ Harvey gave up on me. There I am, sitting on the floor of my flat in Notting Hill, sun streaming through the window (maybe), feeling good, with a talented and beautiful young singer for a girlfriend, when the phone rings. I pick up the phone and it’s Polly.

“Hi,” I say   /   - “I want to break up with you.”

“Why?!” I ask.  /   - “It’s just over,” she says.

I was so surprised I almost dropped my syringe.

L is for love, baby

O is for only you that I do

V is for loving virtually all that you are

E is for loving almost everything that you do

R is for rape me and

M is for murder me and

A is for answering all of my prayers

N is for knowing your loverman's going to

Be the answer to all of yours

Loverman! Till the bitter end

While empires burn down forever and ever

And ever and ever amen, I'm your loverman

So help me, baby so help me

'Cause I am what I am, what I am what I am, what I am
