Kate Bush: Citations en anglais
MOJO interview (2005)
Contexte: I do think I go out of my way to be a very normal person and I just find it frustrating that people think that I'm some kind of weirdo reclusive that never comes out into the world. Y'know, I'm a very strong person and I think that's why actually I find it really infuriating when I read, 'She had a nervous breakdown' or 'She's not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature'.
“Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.”
Song lyrics, The Sensual World (1989)

In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy.”

And you know it's for real.
Tuning in on your saxophone…

If you need us, just call.

We can't have it all.”
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)

There's half of a heaven,
And we're only bluffing.
We're not ones for busting through walls,
But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it,
We can't have it all.
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
Contexte: I won't open boxes
That I am told not to.
I'm not a Pandora.

That girl in the mirror.
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all.

The Pyramids sound lonely tonight.”

In lands of the Pharoahs.

The head of the tempest.”

The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murder of calm…
“On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.”
Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985)

In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

You mix the stars with your arms.”

And make the dream come true…”

Feel your feet start kissing the ground
Feel your arms are opening out
And see your eyes are lifted to God
With no words, with no song

And make the dream come true…

Why did you have to choose our moment?”

Come to cover the muck up.
Ooh with a little luck —
December will be magic again.

We become panoramic…

Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)
Contexte: We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky.
Put your eye right up to the glass.
Here we'll find the constellation of the heart.
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
'Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance.
This is the constellation of the heart.
“They open doorways that I thought were shut for good.”
Song lyrics, The Kick Inside (1978)

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

Little light will guide them to me.
My face is all lit up,
My face is all lit up.
MOJO interview (2005)
Contexte: For the last 12 years, I've felt really privileged to be living such a normal life. It's so a part of who I am. It's so important to me to do the washing, do the Hoovering. Friends of mine in the business don't know how dishwashers work. For me, that's frightening. I want to be in a position where I can function as a human being. Even more so now where you've got this sort of truly silly preoccupation with celebrities. Just because somebody's been in an ad on TV, so what? Who gives a toss?
Something, someone — help them.
"It's me."
Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985), The Ninth Wave
“Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
I'm a disbelieving angel.”
Song lyrics, Singles and rarities
Contexte: I feel so sorry for you,
Believing because they control.
And of all the guardian angels
They chose me to save your soul!
Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
I'm a disbelieving angel.
