C'mon Billy lyrics:

C’mon Billy – come to me.
You know I’m waiting – I’ll love you endlessly.

C’mon Billy. You’re the only one.
Don’t you think it’s time you met your only son?

I remember lover’s play – the corn was gold
and we lay in it for days.

I remember the things you said.
My little Billy, come to your lover’s bed.

‘Come home’, is my plea.
Your home is here with me.
Come home to your son.
Tomorrow might never come.

C’mon Billy – you look good to me.
How many nights with your child inside of…

don’t forget me – I had your son.
The damn thing went crazy, but I swear you’re the only one.

Come along Billy, come to me.

Written by Polly Jean Harvey

PJ Harvey official bio:

From the outset of her career, the work of PJ Harvey has commanded attention. A multi-instrumentalist, she is primarily a vocalist, guitarist and pianist.

In 1991, Harvey formed the eponymous bass/drums/guitar trio in Dorset, England and by that autumn had released the debut single ‘Dress’ on independent label, Too Pure. Dry, released March 1992, was hailed globally as an astonishing debut album, particularly in the United States, where Rolling Stone magazine named Harvey ‘Best Songwriter’ and ‘Best New Female Singer’ of 1992.

In 1993, she signed to Island Records and released her second album Rid Of Me. The album, supported by a lengthy world tour, brought Harvey her first Mercury Music Prize nomination. The original trio dissolved and Harvey’s solo follow-up, 4-Track Demos was released in the autumn of 1993.

To Bring You My Love, an eclectic and starkly original album followed in 1995, and was accompanied by live performances that saw Harvey explore a more theatrical edge on stage. She received her second Mercury Music Prize nomination, two Grammy Award nominations, and ‘Artist of the Year’ awards from both Rolling Stone and Spin.

Her fourth album Is This Desire? released in September 1998, attracted plaudits globally, gaining several BRIT and Grammy Award nominations. The much anticipated follow up, Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, was released in October 2000 and went on to win Harvey’s first Mercury Music Prize. ‘Stories…’ was supported by a sold-out worldwide tour. After a summer of live dates, including the first rock concert to be held at London’s Tate Modern gallery, Harvey finished work on her next album, Uh Huh Her.

White Chalk was her critically-acclaimed seventh studio album, which marked a departure as it was composed almost entirely on piano. It was supported by a string of notable solo performances including Manchester International Festival, The Royal Festival Hall, the Hay-On-Wye Festival of Literature, the New Yorker Festival, Sydney Opera House and a performance at Copenhagen Opera House for the Crown Prince couple.

2020 saw the start of a comprehensive reissue campaign which saw PJ Harvey’s entire back catalogue – plus her two albums in collaboration with John Parish – reissued on vinyl over the course of 12 months. For the first time, each of PJ Harvey’s album demos were also made available as stand-alone albums on vinyl, CD and digital.

In the summer of 2023 PJ Harvey released her tenth studio album, I Inside the Old Year Dying. Co-produced by Flood and John Parish, the album was nominated in the Best Alternative Album category at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Soon after its release she toured the UK and Europe. To develop the live show she worked with director Ian Rickson, who had also directed the live shows for the Let England Shake and the Hope Six tours.
