The moment that you open up your eyes.
A dream is just a riddle,
Ghosts from every corner of your life.”

Song lyrics, Songs from the West Coast (2001)

She's the most beautiful mystery. … Let me tell you a story: when I had my civil partnership, nine years ago, in 2005, and Kate — we invited Kate, we didn't think she'd come but she came, she came with her husband Danny, and there were a lot of very famous people in that room, there were like 600 people — and all anybody wanted to meet was Kate Bush. I mean, musician, anybody — they couldn't believe Kate Bush was there. She's kind of an enigma.

At last they've found me.

If it's true I'm in your hands?
I may not be a Christian,
But I've done all one man can.

Where all that was is gone.
So where to now St. Peter?
Show me which road I'm on, br>Which road I'm on.”

“Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets.
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful,
Oh Bennie she's really keen.
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit.
You know I read it in a magazine.
Bennie and the Jets.”

When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm,
I should have listened to my old man.”

Where the dogs of society howl.

“They said get back honky cat,
Better get back to the woods.
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways.
And oh the change is gonna do me good.You better get back honky cat,

It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine.
It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine.”

Honky Cat

When the New York Times said God is dead

Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away?
And every one of us that ever came to play
Has to cross the bridge or fade away.”
