PJ Harvey - Shot of Love (Bob Dylan cover)

PJ Harvey, December 1999, Music Of The Millennium Awards, Channel 4. Polly chose Bob Dylan as her "musician of the Millennium", performed this tribute.
Lyrics:
I need a shot of love
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president
I need a shot of love
Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me afraid
What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed Jesus when they put a price upon His head
I need a shot of love
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you
I've heard all of them rumors and I know you heard em too
Don't show me no picture show and don't give me no book to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside, the habit that it feeds
I need a shot of love
Why would I want to take your life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends
I don't wanna be with nobody tonight,
Veronica ain't nowhere, Mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me, he's swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?
I need a shot of love

PJ always seems in total command and exuded confidence when she performs. Best cover of this song that I have heard. Even though it's the only one.

What a terrific performance. I remember seeing this when the show was originally broadcast and thought it was awesome that she chose this song to sing.

[@user-dd9ub2mt8x]

She is stunning on stage.What a voice !!!

[@darin1697]

My goodness this is just outstanding. Maybe the best Dylan cover ever including the byrds and Jimi Hendrix and that’s saying something

[@workingmansblues]

Fantastic and electrifying performance. She is something else.

[@sticksman1979]

This is one of the greatest live performances of all time.

[@chrisjones-on7kf]

Yes, Best cover version of a Bob Dylan song I've ever heard- along with Joan Baez, love is just a four letter word. PJ Harvey makes it her own
