“I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)
Context: I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there.
These streets have never been paved with gold.

“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.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, The Sensual World (1989)
Context: 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.

“On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985)
Context: 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.

“They look down
At the ground,
Missing.
But I never go in now.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985)

At the ground,
Missing.
But I never go in now.
I'm looking at the Big Sky.

“All we ever look for — a god.
All we ever look for — ooh, a drug.
All we ever look for — a great big hug.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, Never for Ever (1980)
Context: All we ever look for — a god.
All we ever look for — ooh, a drug.
All we ever look for — a great big hug.
All we ever look for — a little bit of you.
All we ever look for — a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.

“I'll be sitting in your mirror.
Now is the place where the crossroads meet.
Will you look into the future?”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985), The Ninth Wave

“I look at you and see
my life that might have been
your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields
as you're taking me home.
The smell of burning fields
will now mean you and here.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, The Sensual World (1989)

“When you reach for a star
Only angels are there
And it's not very far
Just a step on a stair
Take a look at those clowns
And the tricks that they play
In the circus of life
Life is bitter and gay There are clowns in the night
Clowns everywhere
See how they run
Run from despair …”

Kate Bush

“I'm dying for you just to touch me,
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me.
L'amour looks something like you.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, The Kick Inside (1978)

“Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
And she looks so beautiful in her armour
Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she never wears a ring on her finger…”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, Aerial (2005), A Sea of Honey (Disc 1)

“It's no good for you baby
It's no good for you now
Keep looking up for the ladder.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)

“There's a city, draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light, in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
It's babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins.”

Kate Bush

Song lyrics, Aerial (2005), A Sea of Honey (Disc 1)
