Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln (PJ Harvey)
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: "All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln / At the refreshments stand / A boy throws out his hands / As if to feed the starlings / But really he throws nothing / It's just to watch them jump / See the people coming / They're moving over the grass / To squeeze in two plastic chairs... / Three notes, a bugle call / A black man in overalls / Arrives to empty the trash / Hauls it to a metal hatch / A doorway opens up / To the underworld / The boy throws empty hands / And the starlings jump / All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln"
