From the ancient city of Prague

From Prague came a pair of high-heeled shoes

With a kiss or two came the high-heeled shoes

From the ancient city of Prague

What was sent to the soldier's wife

From Oslo, over the sound

From Oslo there came a collar of fur

How appeases her, little collar of fur

From Oslo, over the sound

What was sent to the soldier's wife

From the wealth of Amsterdam

From Amsterdam

He got her a hat

She looked sweet in that

In a little dutch hat

From the wealth of Amsterdam

What was sent to the soldier's wife

From Brussels in Belgium land

From Brussels he sent her laces so rare

To have and to wear

Oh those laces so rare

From Brussels in Belgium land

What was sent to the soldier's wife

From Paris, city of light

In Paris he got her a silken gown

T'was end in town

Oh silken gown

From Paris, city of light

What was sent to the soldier's wife

From the south from Bucharest

From Bucharest

He sent her his shirt

Embroidered and pert

That Rumanian shirt

From the south of Bucharest

What was sent to the soldier's wife

From far-off Russian land

From Russia there came

Just a widow's veil

A death to be wed

In her widows veil

From the far-off Russian land " PJ Harvey sings Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's "Ballad of the soldier's wife" Brecht, Weill : Ballade von der Frau des Soldaten, PJ Harvey, Ballade de la femme du soldat.

Ok. I love Marianne Faithfull, she has one astounding voice. But, her interpretation of this song is far less appealing. Too kitschy and cabaret. Good, but this rendition is far more heartfelt and moving.

Much too sentimental, terrible orchestration! It seems they wanted to vary (he singing and the accompaniment) from one verse to another, the result is frankly tasteless.

The orchestration isn't bad, but...I gotta say it...PJ Harvey can't sing!

«Weill vivait à New York, Brecht s'ennuyait à Los Angeles, ils décidèrent de s'y retrouver pour écrire cette histoire d'un soldat allemand durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, faisant parvenir à sa femme restée au village des cadeaux de chacune de ses étapes. De Prague, il lui envoie des chaussures à talons, d'Amsterdam un bibi, de Paris bien entendu un déshabillé, d'Oslo une étole, et finalement de Russie un voile de veuve" Marianne Faithfull

@horrorflesh So a nightgown means using one's sex? Get outta here. Polly isn't running around popping and locking it for her cash, please get some perspective.

What is not mentions is that this clip is from the movie September Songs. It's a great film to watch. The highlight is Lou Reed doing the title song. Anyway, this clip looks like it was filmed directly off a TV screen. The sound quality is not so great either. There has to be a better quality clip somewhere.
