PJ Harvey: Is that all there is

I remember when i was a girl Our house caught on fire And i'll never forget the look on my father's face As he gathered me in his arms And raced to the burning building out on the pavement And i stood there shivering And watched the whole world go up in flames And when it was all over I said to myself Is that all there is to a fire? Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And when i was twleve years old My daddy took me to the circus The greatest show on earthe And there were clowns And elephants Dancing bears, And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads And as i sat there watching I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what But when it was all over I said to myself Is that all there is to the circus Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And then i fell in love With the most wonderful boy in the world We'd take long walks down by the river Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes We were so very much in love And then one day He went away And i'd thought i'd die But i didn't And when i didn't I said to myself Is that all there is to love Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep I know what you must be saying to yourselvess If that's the way she feels about it Then why doesn't she just end it all Oh no. not me. i'm not ready for the final disappointment Cause i know just as well as i'm standing here talking to you That when that final moment comes And i'm breathing my last breath I know what i'll be saying to myself Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
