Kate Bush: Trending quotes (page 13)

“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.”

“You're the only one I want…”

“December will be magic again.
Take a husky to the ice
While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas.
He makes you feel nice.
December will be magic again.”

“Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.”

“If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems…”

“Oh, I'm in love
With Egypt.”

“I don't know you,
And you don't know me.
It is this that brings us together.”

“I am ice and dust. I am sky.
I can see horses wading through snowdrifts.
My broken hearts, my fabulous dances.
My fleeting song, fleeting.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.”

“I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
I just begin.”

“Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me,
Like the day I learned to swim?”

“You came out of the night,
Wearing a mask in white colour.
My eyes were shining
On the wine, and your aura.”

“To be sung of a summer night on the water.
Ooh, on the water.
"Ta, ta-ta!
Hmm.
Ta, ta-ta!
In B, Fenby!"”

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

“Warm and soothing
That's how I remember home.
Walking into arms through the back door
Hearing voices I know well and long for.”

You can't hear me.

You can't hear what I'm saying to you.”

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 knew exactly what to do:

“For me to get into that creative process I have to have a sort of quiet place that I work from. And if I was living the life of … somebody in the industry, as a pop star or whatever, it's too distracting. It's too to do with other people's perceptions of who you are, and what's important to me is to be a human being who has a soul, and who hopefully has a sense of who they are, not who everybody else thinks you are.
And I think, you know, that's something that's very difficult for people who become extremely famous. I mean, I find it completely ridiculous this obsession with celebrities. … Why are celebrities so important to people? It's absolute crap. I mean, the important people are surgeons and doctors and people actually put people back together and make a difference to people's lives. Not somebody who's in an ad on telly. I mean, okay, so that's valid for what it is, too. But why so much attention on something that's so shallow?”
