PJ Harvey BBC Four Sessions HDTV 720p XviD MP3 2004 torrent

I came across the source for this video on piratebay as an 800Meg download at 704x384 (or AR 1.85:1) almost by accident. I had already given up on the idea of finding any "High Definition Quality" or even "Medium Quality" video content of PJ Harvey anywhere online. And believe you me, I've searched.

Anyway, that source (it can be found here on piratebay as "torrent 8912402" if you want to take a look) seemed like a promising candidate for an amateur digital remastering job, and since DIY was the going "best bet" I produced this video.

BTW. A sample is included if you want to check it out first.

I think this version, as it stands, qualifies as HDTV at least in visual quality, at 1340x724 with about an 8000 Kbps video data rate it has rich colors, nice smooth gradients and nearly crystal clear definition for most fine details. Unfortunately the audio from the source was only a 128 Kbps (CBR) MP3 (decent, but nothing to write home about). Although I did re-normalize the volume so it sounds pretty good.

If another version of this concert exists *somewhere* then, regardless of its video quality, if it has higher audio definition, then one could use any (de)multiplexer to replace the MP3 audio here for almost full restoration of the original broadcast.

Here are the lyrics:


Lyrics
======
1. The Letter
Put the pen
To the paper
Press the envelope
With my scent
Can't you see
In my handwriting
The curve Of my g?
The longing

Oh

Who is left that
Writes these days?
You and me
We'll be different
Take the cap
Off your pen
Wet the envelope
Lick and lick it

Oh

I need you
The time is running out
Oh baby
Can't you hear me call?

It turns me on
To imagine
Your blue eyes
On my words
Your beautiful pen
Take the cap off
Give me a sign and I'd come running

Oh
It's you
I want you

*************************

2. Who the Fuck
Who the fuck do you think you are
Get out of my hair
who the fuck do you think you are
Comin' round here
who the fuck who the fuck
who the fuck do you think you are

Get your comb out of there
combin' out my hair

I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
No!

Who the fuck you tryin' to be
Get your dog away from me!
What the fuck you doing in there
Get your dirty fingers out of my hair

Who who who who
fuck fuck fuck you

I'm free, you'll see
I'm free, you'll see

****************************************************

3. EVOL
What do you know about love?
You don't know what I know and how much?
How much will you give me
To tell you what some would kill for about love
Yeah

Love
It'll twist out your limbs with pain
It'll stomp out your eyes and everything
Love, evol

Baby, how much money?
Read my lips, baby
How much money?
Read my lips, baby
How much money?
How much, baby
Will you give me?

Some call it the beating heart
Some call it the God
They're just romantic fools
I call it evol

Love, you got a lot to answer for
Love, you got a lot to answer for
Love, you got a lot to answer for
Love, you got a lot to answer for
Evol, evol, evol, evol, evol

****************************************************

4. Shame

I don't need no rising moon
I don't need no ball and chain
I don't need anything but you

Such a shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love

You changed my life
We were as green as grass
And I was hypnotized
From the first 'til the last

Kiss of shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love

I'd jump for you into the fire
I'd jump for you into the flame
Tried to go forward with my life

I just feel shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
Shame is the shadow of love

If you tell a lie
I still would take the blame
If you pass me by
It's such a shame, shame, shame

*********************************************************

5. A Perfect Day, Elise

He got lucky, got lucky one time
Hitting with the girl in room five none nine
She turned her back on him facing the frame
Said, "Listen Joe don't you come here again"

White sun scattered all over the sea
He could think of nothing but her name Elise
God is the sweat running down his back
The water soaked her blonde hair black

It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise

He got burned by the sun
He's a lucky man
His face so pale and his hands so worn
And the sky
Let himself in room five none nine
As she turned away
Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried
Tell me why

It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise

Ah oh, It's a perfect day
A perfect day, Elise

***********************************************************

6. Victory

i stumble in and in you fit me with those angel wings
send me gold set me high set it up i'm in the sky
'til the storm is gone
and the temperature's high
and delight is dining
at my table


'til i think ha ha ha how lucky we are
angel at my table
god in my car
get it to sea
take a ship
i'd christen her 'victory' and she'd make it

victory
c'mon boys let's push it hard
bump down push your motor car
c'mon boys you've done us proud
you can sweat, dig, i'll mop it right off your brow

victory
'til the storm is gone
and the temperature's high
and delight is dining
at my table

*******************************************************************

7. The Life And Death Of Mr Badmouth

Baby, you got a bad bad mouth
Everything is poison that's coming out
Cheating, lying since the day you were born
Someone outta rinse it out with soap

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

No kind words are coming out of your mouth
Plenty goes in but nothing good comes out
Badmouth, sad mouth, you were an unhappy child
That doesn't make your lying tongue alright

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You're gonna be left alone

When you told me every word you said
Came from voices talking in your head
Baby, I just think you're out for what you can get
Your badmouth has killed off everything we had

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out

Cos everything is poison
You'll be the unhappy one
Your lips taste of poison
You'll be in the corner crying

***********************************************************

8. The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore

Speak to me of universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me people bleed
Speak to me your song of greed

Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see
Speak to me of your inner peace

Little people at the amusement park
City people in the dark
Speak to us, send us a sign
Tell us something to keep us trying

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence, the language of the heart
This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

***********************************************************

9. It's You

Oh dear sweet mama
I'm not feeling well
Can I step out
For a little while?

But I go missing
I steal away
And I go kissing
In the alleyway
All I want to do
And all I want to grow up to be
Is all caught up with you
Look what you're doing to me

Oh dearest young man
Teach me sweetheart
How to love you
I'm a clever girl
You've got me lying
You've got me leaving home
You've got me crying
When I'm alone

When I'm not with you my dreams are so very dark
When I'm not with you I dream of my hair falling out
When I'm not with you I walk dark tunnels of my heart
When I'm not with you everything comes apart

When I was younger
I spent my days
Wondering to whom
I was supposed to pray

It's you?

*******************************************************************

10. Taut

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Can I tell you something ?
Can I tell you a story ?
It's about me and Billy
'Cause I remember

I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he'd ever owned apart from me
And the color was red
And the color was red and he drove me
He drove me out of my mind
I'm over it now
It was spring or summer sixty five I don't remember
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

Inherited his father's hate that what he'd say
And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow
He could make joy come loose inside
I would feel really I would feel really and truly alive
And I would do anything for him
It just wasn't enough
It was never enough
He'd turn to me and say
He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"
And he wanted everything
He wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Each new moon
He used to make me pray
Every morning
Hidden in the backseat, such Jesus
He'd make me pray
And he'd in there when he wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Say it
"Even the son of god had to die my darling"
Go on, say it!

Jesus save me
Jesus save me

*************************************************************************

11. The Darker Days Of Me & Him

Promises, promises
I'm feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn't want to learn

Why did I come here?
Please tell me again
Why did you ask me?
Don't say you forget

I long for, I long for
I long for my home
I long for a land where
No man was ever known

With no neurosis
No psychosis
No psychoanalysis
And no sadness

I'll pick up the pieces
I'll carry on somehow
Tape the broken parts together
And limp this love around

Limp this love around


*******************************************************

12. Uh Huh Her

Rejection
Rejection
Rejection

Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her
Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her

The valley is crying
Don't ask me why it's grieving

Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her
Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her

I fail to see
All with my tears
I drown the fears
You will remember, remember me

The valley, it's crying
The valley is grieving
He's leaving, abandoning me

Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her
Don't marry uh huh huh
Don't marry uh huh huh her

I fail to see
All with my tears
I drown your fears
You will remember, remember me

*****************************************************************

13. Big Exit

Look out ahead
I see danger come
I wanna' pistol
I wanna' gun
I'm scared baby
I wanna' run
This world's crazy
Give me the gun

Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I'm with you
But I wanna' pistol
In my hand
I wanna' go to
A different land

I met a man
He told me straight
'You gotta' leave
It's getting late'
Too many cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No-one else has done

Baby, baby...

I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I can't find
A safe place to stand
I'm scared baby
I wanna' run
This world's crazy
Gimme' the gun

Baby, baby
