When that feeling of meaninglessness, sets in, Go blowing my mind on God. The light in the dark with the neon arms, The meek He seeks, the beast He calms, The head of the good soul Department. Chorus I see myself suddenly on the piano, As a melody. My terrible fear of dying, no longer Plays with me. For now I know that I'm needed For the symphony. I associate love with Red, The colour of my heart when she's dead, Red in my mind when the jealousy flies, Red in my eyes from the emotional ties. Manipulation, the danger signs. The more I think about sex, The better it gets, Here we have a purpose in life. Good for the blood circulation, Good for releasing the tension, The root of our reincarnations. Chorus --------------------------------------Lionheart: in-search-of-peter-pan.lyr In Search Of Peter Pan ---------------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- It's been such a long week, So much crying. I no longer see a future. I've been told, when I get older That I'll understand it all, But I'm not sure if I want to. Running into her arms, At the school gates She whispers that I'm a poor kid, And granny takes me on her knee, She tells me I'm too sensitive, She makes me sad. She makes me feel like and old man. Chorus They took the game right out of it, They took the game right out of it. When, When I am a man, I will be an astronaut, And find Peter Pan, Second Star on the right Straight on 'til morning. Dennis loves to look in the mirror, He tells me that he is beautiful, So I look too, and what Do I see? My eyes are full, But my face is empty. He's got a photo, Of his hero, He keeps it under his pillow, But I've got a pin-up from a newspaper, Of Peter Pan. I found it in a locket, I hide it in my pocket. Chorus When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are. When you wish upon a star, Your dreams come true. -------------------------------------------------------- Lionheart: wow.lyr WOW --- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- We're all alone on the stage tonight, We've been told we're not afraid of you, We know all our lines so well, ah-ha, We've said them so many times, Time and time again, Line and line again. Ooh yeah, you're amazing, We think you're incredible, You say we're fantastic, But stillwe don't head the bill, Chorus WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, Unbeliecable. When the actor reaches his death, You know it's not for real, he just golds his breath, But he always dives too soon, too fast to save himself, He'll never make the screen, He'll never make "The Sweeney", Be that movie queen, He's too busy hitting the vaseline. Ooh yeah you're amazing, We think you are really cool, We'd give you a part my love, But you'd have to play the fool. Chorus ----------------------Lionheart: don't-push-your-foot-on-the-heartbrake.lyr Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake -------------------------------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- Emma's come down, She's stopped the light shining out of her eyes. Emma's been run out on, She's breaking down in so many places, Stuck in low gear, because of her fears, Of the skidding wheels, (The skid of her wheels she feels). Skidding wheels, (The skid of her wheels she feels). Spinning wheels, (Wheel-skidding feeling). Chorus Her heart is there, But they've greased the road, Her heart is out there, But she's no control. Oh come on, you've got to use your flow, You know what it's like, and you know you want to go, Don't drive too slowly. Don't put your blues where your shoes should be. Don't push your foot on the heartbrake. She's losing that inner flame. It was burning bright but she's losing the fight fast, She's only herself to blame, Well take of yourself, and remember Georgie, But she's so "O.D.'d" on weeping She can hardly see, That she's dropping beads, (Red, red glass is bleeding) Dropping beads, (Red, red glass is bleeding) Dropping beads, (Red, red on the parquet). Chorus ------------------------------------ Lionheart: oh-england-my-lionheart.lyr Oh England My Lionheart --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- Oh England My Lionheart, I'm in your garden fading fast in your arms The soldiers soften, the war is over The air-raid shelters are blooming clover, Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes My London Bridge in rain again Oh England My Lionheart Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park You read me Shakespeare on the Rolling Thames, That old River Post that never, ever ends Our Thumping hearts hold the Ravens in, And keep the tower from tumbling Chorus: Oh England My Lionheart I don't want to go Oh England My Lionheart Dropped from my Black Spitfire to my funeral barge, Give me one kiss in the appleblossom, Give me one wish and I'd be wassailing In the orchard my English Rose, Or with my shepherd who'll bring me home Chorus: -------------------------------------------------- Lionheart: fullhouse.lyr Fullhouse --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- Driving back in her car, Watching the wipers squashing the leaves away. Suddenly there in the road, Is your old self trying to get out of the rain. I am my enemy, Mowing me over, And towing the light away. Somehow it just seems to fit, With that old me trying to get back again. Imagination sets in, Then all the voices begin, Telling you things that aren't happening (But they nig they nag, 'til they're under your skin.) Chorus You've really got to. Remember yourself, You've got a fullhouse in your head tonight, Remember yourself, Stand back and see emotion getting you uptight. My silly pride, Digging the knife in, She loves to come for her ride, Surely by now I should know, I can control my highs and my lows, Bu questioning all that I do, Examining every move, Trying to get back to the rudiments, (If they nig and they nag, I'll just put in the boot.) Chorus --------------------------------------------Lionheart: in-the-warm-room.lyr In The Warm Room --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- In the warm room, Her perfume reaches you, Eventually you'll fall for her, Down you'll go to where the mellow wallows. In the warm room, She'll touch you with your Mamma's hand, You'll long to kiss those red lips, But when you do, it'll feel like kicking a habit. Chorus She'll tell you that she'll stay, So you'd better barricade the way out, She'll tell you she's true, She'll tell you she loves you. She's waiting in that warm room. In the warm room, She prepared to go to bed, She'll let you watch her undress, Go places where your finger long to linger, In the warm room, You'll fall into her like a pillow, Her thighs are soft as marshallows, Say hello, to the soft mush of her hollows. Chorus In the warm room, She's waiting in that warm room. ---------------------------------------- Lionheart: kashka-from-baghdad.lyr Kashka From Baghdad --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- Kashka from Baghdad lives in sin they say, With another man, But no-one knows who. Old friends never call there, Some wonder if life's inside at all, If there's life inside at all. But we know the lady who rents the room, She catches them calling a la lune. Chorus At night they're seen, Laughing, loving, They know the way To be happy. They never go for walks, Maybe it's because the moon's not bright enough, There's light in love you see. I watch their shadows, Tall and slim in the window opposite, I long to be with them. 'Cos when all the alley-cats come out, You can hear music from Kashka's house. Chorus ------------------------------------------ Lionheart: coffee-homeground.lyr Coffee Homeground --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- Down in the cellar, You're getting into making poison, You slipped some on the side, Into my glass of wine, And I don't want any coffee - homeground. Offer me a chocolate, No thank you, spoil diet, know your game! But tell me just how come The smell of bitter almonds? It's a no-no to your coffee homeground. Chorus Picture of Crippin, lipstick-smeared, Torn wallpaper, have the walls got ears here? Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna - in the coffee. And you won't get with your arsenic, - in the pot of tea. And you won't get me in a hole to rot. (put me in a six foot plot). With your hemlock on the rocks. Where are the plumbers, Who went a-missing here on Monday? There was a tall man, With his companion, And I bet you gave them coffee - homeground. Well, maybe you are lonely, And only want a little company, But keep your recipes for the rats to eat And may they rest in peace with coffee - homeground. Chorus ---------------------------------------------- Lionheart: hammer-horror.lyr Hammer Horror --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Lionheart --------------- You stood in the Belltower, But now you're gone. So we knows all the sights Of Notre Dame? They've got the stars for the gallant hearts, I'm the replacement for your part, But all I want to do it forget you friend. Chorus Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, Won't leave me alone. The first time in my life, I keep the lights on, To ease my soul. Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror, Won't leave it alone, I don't know - Is this the right thing to do? Rehearsing in your things, I feel guilty And retracing all the scenes, Of your big hit, Oh God, you needed the leading role, It wasn't me who made you go, though, Now all I want to do is forget you, friend. Chorus Who calls me from the other side, Of the street? And who taps me on the shoulder? I turn around, but you're gone. I've got a hunch that you're following, To get your own back on me So all I want to do is forget you, friend. Chorus ----------------------------------------------Never-For-Ever: babooshka.lyr Babooshka --------------- Author: Kate Bush Album title: Never for Ever --------------- She wanted to test her husband, She new exactly what to do, A pseudonym to fool him, She couldn't have made a worse move. She sent him scented letters, And he recieved them with a strange delight, Just like his wife. But how she was before the tears, And how she was before the years flew by, And how she was when she was beautiful. She signed the letter: Chorus All yours, Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya She wanted to take it further, So she arranged a place to go, Too see if he, Would fall for her incognito. And when he laid eyes on her, He got the feelings they had met before, Uncanny how she Reminds him of his little lady, Capacity to give him all he needs, Just like his wife before she freezed on him, Just like his wife when she was beautiful, He shouted, I'm...

Should have been a rock star. But he didn't have the money for a guitar. What could he do? Should have been a politician, But he never had a proper education. What could he do? Should have been a father, But he didn't even make it to his twenties. What a waste, Army Dreamers. Tears o'er a tin box. Oh Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know, Like a chicken with a fox, He cannot win the war with ego. Give the kid the pick of pips, And give him all your stripes and ribbons, Now he's sitting in his hole, He might as well have buttons and bows.

With my silver Buddha, and my silver bullet. [Pull out...](pull the pin.) You learn to ride the Earth When you're living on your belly And the enemy is city birth. Who need radar? We use scent; They stink of the west, Stink of sweat, Stink of cologne and baccy, And their Yankee hash. With my silver Buddha, And my silver bullet... [Pulling on the pin] Ooh, pull out, pull out the pin. [Pulling on the pin, oh, wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh wo.] Just one thing in it, me or him. And I love life!

[Pull out the pin!] I've seen the coat for me. I'll track him 'til he drops, Then I'll pop him one he won't see. He's big and pink and not like me; He sees no light, He sees no reason for the fighting. With my silver Buddha, and my silver bullet. [Pull out...](pull the pin) I had not seen his face, 'Til I'm only feet away, Unbeknown to my prey. I look in American eyes; I see little life, See little wife. He's striking violence up in me. With my silver Buddha and my silver bullet... [Pulling on the pin] Ooh, pull out, pull out the pin.

He's gonna wangle a way to get out of it She's an excuse and a witness who'll talk when he's called But they've told us Unless we can prove that we're doing it We can't have it all We can't have it all CHORUS: Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended in Gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Not until I'm ready for you Can I have it all?

I pull out the plank and say thank you for yanking me back To the fact That there's always something to distract But sometimes it's hard To know if I'm doing it right Can I have it all? Can I have it all now? We can't have it all CHORUS I won't open boxes that I am not told to I'm not a Pandora I'm much more like That girl in the mirror Between you and me She don't stand a chance of Getting anywhere at all Not anywhere at all No, not a thing She can't have it all.

What would I do without you? Take away the love and the anger, And a little piece of hope holding us together. Looking for a moment that'll never happen, Living in the gap between past and future. Take away the stone and the timber, And a little piece of rope won't hold it together. If you can't tell your sister, If you can't tell a priest, 'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it To anyone, Can you tell it to your heart? Can you find it in your heart To let go of these feelings Like a bell to a Southerly wind? We could be like two strings beating, Speaking in sympathy.................. What would we do without you? Two strings speak in sympathy. Take away the love and the anger, And a little piece of hope holding us together. Looking for a moment that'll never happen, Living in the gap between past and future. Take away the stone and the timber, And a little piece of rope won't hold it together. We're building a house of the future together. (What would we do without you?) Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it, Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future. Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it, Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future.

It was '39, before the music started, When you walked up to me and you said, "Hey, heads we dance." Well, I didn't know who you were Until I saw the morning paper: There was a picture of you A picture of you 'cross the front page. It looked just like you, just like you in every way. But it couldn't be true. It couldn't be true. You stepped out of a stranger. They say that the Devil is a charming man. And just like you I bet he can dance. And he's coming up behind in his long Tailed black coat dance, All tails in the air. But the penny landed with its head dancing. A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform, Standing with your head held high, Hot down to the floor. But it couldn't be you. It couldn't be you. It's a picture of Hitler. He go do-do-do-do-do He go do-do-do-do-do He go do-do-do-do-do Do you want to dance? Well, I couldn't see what was to be, So I just stood there laughing. A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform, Standing with your head held high, Hot down to the floor. But it couldn't be you. It couldn't be you. It's a picture of Hitler. He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Heads we're dancing. --------------------------------The-Sensual-World: deeper-understanding.lyr Deeper Understanding ------------------------------------------------------------------ Author: Kate Bush Album: The Sensual World Drums: Charlie Morgan Bass: John Giblin Tupan: Paddy Bush Vocalists: The Trio Bulgarka (Soloist: Yanka Rupkhina) Copyright (c) 1989 Kate Bush Music Ltd.

I was loading a new programme I had ordered from a magazine: "Are you lonely, are you lost? This voice console is a _must_." I press Execute. "Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired. I bring you love and deeper understanding. Hello, I know that you're unhappy. I bring you love and deeper understanding." Well I've never felt such pleasure. Nothing else seemed to matter. I neglected my bodily needs. I did not eat, I did not sleep, The intensity increasing, 'Til my family found me and intervened. But I was lonely, I was lost, Without my little black box. I pick up the phone and go, Execute. "Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired. I bring you love and deeper understanding. Hello, I know that you're unhappy. I bring you love and deeper understanding." I turn to my computer like a friend. I need deeper understanding. Give me deeper understanding. -------------------------- The-Sensual-World: between-a-man-and-a-woman.lyr Between a Man and a Woman ------------------------------------------------------------------ Author: Kate Bush Album: The Sensual World Drums: Stuart Elliott Bass: Del Palmer Guitar: Alan Murphy Cello: Jonathan Williams Celtic Harp & Backing Vocals: Alan Stivell Copyright (c) 1989 Kate Bush Music Ltd.

He said it was her fault. She said it wasn't at all. But the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Where angels fear to tread, You go rushing in. Well, I had to tell you then, And now I'm telling you again: Stay out of this You must not interfere Don't you see this is Between a man and a woman? Every day and night I pray, Pray that you will stay away forever. It's so hard for love to stay together, With the modern Western pressures. I don't want to say it, But I had to tell you then, And now I'm telling you again: Stay out of this. Oh, I know you mean to help me, And I know you've good intentions. But stay out of this. This isn't your problem. Do not interfere--you are not needed here. Let the pendulum swing Between a man and a woman. Don't you see? you're in the way--between a man and a woman. Every day and night I pray, Let the pendulum swing Between a man and a woman. Between a man and a woman. -------------------------------------- The-Sensual-World: never-be-mine.lyr Never Be Mine ------------------------------------------------------------------ Author: Kate Bush Album: The Sensual World Drums: Stuart Elliott Bass: Eberhard Weber Uillean Pipes: Davey Spillane Vocalists: The Trio Bulgarka Copyright (c) 1989 Kate Bush Music Ltd.

They're setting fire to the cornfields As you're taking me home. The smell of burning fields Will now mean you and here. This is where I want to be. This is what I need. This is where I want to be. This is what I need. This is where I want to be, But I know that this will never be mine. Ooh, the thrill and the hurting. The thrill and the hurting. I know that this will never be mine. I want you as the dream, Not the reality. That clumsy goodbye-kiss could fool me, But I'm looking back over my shoulder At you, happy without me. This is where I want to be. This is what I need. This is where I want to be. This is what I need. This is where I want to be, But I know that this will never be mine. Ooh, the thrill and the hurting Will never be mine.

I can't see the look in its eyes, But I'm sure it must be laughing." But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen, And I thought you were crazy, wishing such a thing. I saw only a stick on fire, Alone on its journey Home to the quickening ground, With no one there to catch it. I put on my pointed hat And my black and silver suit, And I check my gunpowder pack And I strap the stick on my back. And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge-- Nobody seems to see me. Then, with the fuse in my hand, And now shooting into the night And still as a rocket, I land in the river. Was it me said you were crazy? I put on my cloudiest suit, Size 5 lightning boots, too. 'Cause I am a rocket On fire. Look at me go, with my tail on fire, With my tail on fire, On fire. Hey, look at me go, look at me... ---------------------------------- The-Sensual-World: this-woman's-work.lyr This Woman's Work ------------------------------------------------------------------ Author: Kate Bush Album: The Sensual World Orchestra Arranged by Michael Kamen Copyright (c) 1989 Kate Bush Music Ltd.

Ooh, it's hard on the man, Now his part is over. Now starts the craft of the father. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said, That I never said. All the things we should've done, That we never did. All the things I should've given, But I didn't. Oh, darling, make it go, Make it go away. Give me these moments back. Give them back to me. Give me that little kiss. Give me your hand.

Go right to the rose Go right to the white rose (for me) I sit here in the thunder The green on the grey I feel it all around me And it's not easy for me To give away a secret -- it's not safe But go into the garden Go under the ivy Under the leaves Away from the party Go right to the rose Go right to the white rose (for me) It wouldn't take me long to tell you how to find it.
