Lick my legs of desire
I'll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
Oh you're not rid of me

Juliette covering PJ songs is like a dream come true. Two of the best.

PJ Harvey is indeed a genius; she can make three chords do things to you that you never thought possible - I adore her. But I think Juliette did this song fairly well; she's a good singer on her own, and as an actor she was able to bring some really great emotion into her version.

I freaking love this woman. She is so hot on so many levels. What a talent! And I meant talent!! A lot of people "try" to do what she does and they do not succeed . . . this woman is a success in everything she touches (in my opinion ;-)

pj recording is real, she said she was going through a nervous brakedown when she recorded rid of me. most of it caused by a brake up with some boyfriend. juliettes version is a good interpritation of it. she does a believeable job. this type of song needs a convincing an honest delivery. they both rock!!
