The Whole Story

Kate Bush The Whole Story Lyrics
1.Wuthering Heights

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night.
They told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your win-dow.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your win-dow.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely,
On the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot
Falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love.
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,
My only master.

Too long I roam in the night.
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights,

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your win-dow.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your win-dow.

Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
Ooh! Let me have it.
Let me grab your soul away.
You know it's me, Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your win-dow.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your win-dow.

Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy,
I've come home. I'm so cold!


2.Cloudbusting

I still dream of Orgonon.
I wake up crying.
You're making rain,
And you're just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.

You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark.
What made it special
Made it dangerous,
So I bury it
And forget.

But every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I can't hide you
From the government.
Oh, God, Daddy
I won't forget,

'Cause every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

And every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Like your sons coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen. Oh.
Ohh, just saying it could even make it happen.

Yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yo.
I'm cloudbusting daddy.
Yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yo.
Yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yo.
Yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yo.
Yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yo.

The sun's coming out.
Yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yeah-ee, yo.
Your son's coming out.


3.The Man With The Child In His Eyes

Single:'He's here! He's here! He's here! He's here!'

I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been.
I realise he's there,
When I turn the light off and turn over.

Nobody knows about my man.
They think he's lost on some horizon.
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before,

Telling me about the sea,
All his love, 'til eternity.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

He's very understanding,
And he's so aware of all my situations.
And when I stay up late,
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate.

Oh, I'm so worried about my love.
They say, 'No, no, it won't last forever.'
And here I am again, my girl,
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here.

Maybe he doesn't love me.
I just took a trip on my love for him.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.


4.Breathing

Outside
Gets inside ooh
Through her skin.
I've been out before
But this time it's much safer in.

Last night in the sky, ooh
Such a bright light.
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep

Breathing,
(out in out in out in)
Breathing,
(out in out)
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in.

We've lost our chance.
We're the first and the last, ooh
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.

(ahh)
I love my
(ahh)
Beloved, ooh
All and everywhere,
(ahh)
Only the fools blew it.
(ahh)
You and me
(ahh)
Knew life itself is
(ahh)

Breathing,
(out in out in out in)
Breathing,
(out in out)
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out, out, out, out, out

'In point of fact it is possible to tell the
difference between a small nuclear explosion and
a large one by a very simple method. The calling
card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that
is far more dazzling than any light on earth, brighter
even than the sun itself, and it is by the duration
of this flash that we are able to determine the size
(What are we going to do without)
of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be
seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust
and living things around the area of the explosion,
and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable
as the familiar 'mushroom cloud'. As a demonstration
of the flash duration test let's try and count the
number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very
small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized
bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful,
'high-yield' bombs.

(What are we going to do without?)
Ooh please,
(What are we going to do without?)
Let me breathe!
(What are we going to do without?)
Ooh quick, breathe in deep!
(We are all going to die without)
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
(What are we going to do without?)
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
(We are all going to die without)
Oh god please leave us something to breathe!
(What are we going to do without?)
Oh, life is...


5.Wow

Emily...

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, uh-huh.
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 still we don't head the bill.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!

When the actor reaches his death,
You know it's not for real. He just holds 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.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!

We're all alone on the stage tonight.
We're all alone,
On the stage,
Tonigh-ee-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ohh.


6.Hounds Of Love

'It's in the trees!
It's coming!'

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

(do do do do do dooo)
Now hounds of love are hunting.
(oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
I've always been a coward,
(oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
And I don't know what's good for me.

Oh here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Oh help me, someone!
Help me, please!

And take my shoes off,
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beat so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away
From nothing real
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be there,

(do do do do do dooo)
Among your hounds of love,
(oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
And feel your arms surround me.
(oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
I've always been a coward.
(oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
Mmmm, and never know what's good for me.

Oh, here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Oh help me, darling,
Help me, please!

And take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be two steps on the water.
(do do do do do dooo)

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need love love love love love love, yeah!
Your yeah your your love!
(do do do dooo)

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need love love love love love love, yeah!


7.Running Up That Hill

It doesn't hurt me.
(yeah yeah yo)
Do you want to feel how it feels?
(yeah yeah yo)
Do you want to know know that it doesn't hurt me?
(yeah yeah yo)
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
(yeah yeah yo)
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, if I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
(yeah yeah yo)
But see how deep the bullet lies.
(yeah yeah yo)
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
(yeah yeah yo)
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
(yeah yeah yo)
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
(yeah yeah yo)
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
(yeah yeah yo)
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me, won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
(hee ohh)
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
(yeah yeah yo)
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
(yeah yeah yo)

C'mon, baby,
(yeah)
C'mon darling,
(yo)
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience.
(oh-ooh)

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

So if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

So if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems.

'If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.'

(Mammy's hero)

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.

Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Your men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier.

'What could he do?
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 never even made 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 couldn't 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.

'What could he do?
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 never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Oh What a waste of
Army dreamers.
Oh What a waste of
Army dreamers.
Army dreamers.
Army dreamers.

9.Sat In Your Lap

I see the people working,
And see it working for them.
And so I want to join in,
But then I find it hurts me.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.

I see the people happy,
So can it happen for me?
'Cause when I am unhappy,
There's nothing that can move me.

Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)

I've been doing it for years.
My goal is moving near.
It says, 'Look! I'm over here.'
Then it up and disappears.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that knowledge is ho-ho-ho-ho.

I want to be a lawyer.
I want to be a scholar.
But I really can't be bothered.
Ooh, just gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme gimme gimme gimme!

Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.
Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think everything's going great,
(I just begin,)
I get the break,
Hey, I'm gonna take it all
(I just begin.)
When I'm king
(just begin.)

In my dome of ivory,
A home of activity,
I want the answers quickly,
But I don't have no energy.

I hold a cup of wisdom,
But there is nothing within.
My cup, she never overfloweth,
And 'tis I that moan and groaneth.

Some grey and white matter,
'Give me the karma, mama!'
I'm coming up the ladder,
Here coming up the ladder,
'A jet to Mecca,'
Up the ladder,
'Tibet or Jeddah,
To Salisbury,
A monastery,
The longest journey,
Across the desert,
Across the weather,
Across the elements,
Across the water!'


10.Experiment IV


11.The Dreaming

'Bang!' goes another kanga
On the bonnet of the van.
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'
Many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree
'Til you near him on the motorway
And the tree begin to breathe.
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'

Coming in with the golden light
In the morning.
Coming in with the golden light
Is the New Man.
Coming in with the golden light
Is my dented van.

Woomera.

'Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee
A-a-a-a-a-

'Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee
A-a-a-a-a-
M-m-m-m-m-
Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-
Me-me-me-me-me.'

The civilised keep alive
The territorial war.
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'
Erase the race that claim the place
And say we dig for ore,
Or dangle devils in a bottle
And push them from the Pull of the Bush.
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'
You find them in the road.
'See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand.'
In the road.

Coming in with the golden light
In the morning.
Coming in with the golden light
With no warning.
Coming in with the golden light
We bring in the rigging.
(Dig, dig, dig away)

Woomera.

'Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee
A-a-a-a-a-
M-m-m-m-m-
Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-
Me-me-me-me-me,'

Woomera.

'Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee

Woomera.

'Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee

Ma-ma-many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'
You near him on the motorway
And the tree begin to breathe.
Erase the race that claim the place
And say we dig for ore
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'
Dangle devils in a bottle
And push them from the Pull of the Bush.
'See the sun set in the hand of the man.'

'Bang!' goes another kanga
On the bonnet of the van.
'See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand.'
You find them in the road.
'See the light ram through the gaps in the land.'
In the road.
'See the light.'
(Push them from the)
Pull of the Bush.
'See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand.'
(Push them from the)
Pull of the Bush.
'See the sun set in the hand of the man.'

12.Babooshka

(Babooshka, Babooshka)
She wanted to test her husband.
She knew exactly what to do:
A pseudonym to fool him.
She couldn't have made a worse move.

She sent him scented letters,
And he received 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

'All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!'

(Babooshka)
She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go,
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito.
And when he laid eyes on her,
He got the feeling 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 out, 'I'm

All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-yaaaaaah!
(Babooshka-ya-ya!)
(Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka)
