Man that you fear

The ants are in the sugar
the muscles atrophied
we're on the other side, the screen is us and we're t.v.
spread me open, sticking to my bony ribs
are all your infants in abortion cribs
i was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved
is the man that you fear

pray untill you're number, asleep from all your pain
your apple as been rotting
tomorrow's turned up dead

I have it all and I have no choice but to
I'll make everyone pay and you will see
you can kill yourself now
because you're dead in my mind
the boy that you loved
is the monster you fear

peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark
you've poisoned all your children
to camouflage your scars
pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
pray your life was just a dream
the cut that never heals
pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream

(i am so tangled in my sins that i cannot escape)

pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed
someone had to go this far
i was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved
is the man that you fear

peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark
you've poisoned all your children
to camouflage your scars
pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
pray your life was just a dream
the cut that never heals

pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
the world in my hands
there's no one left to hear you scream
there's no one left for you
(we know when your wishes are granted
many of your dreams will be destroyed)

Holiday

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday (Hey!)
(Say, Hey!)
"The representative from California has the floor"
Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

Running up that hill (deal with God)

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

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
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.

If I only could, oh...
You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
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,
Say, if I only could, oh...
You, It's you and me, It's you and me won't be unhappy.

"C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh..."

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.
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.

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

Kate Bush, “Hounds of love”, 1985

Letting the cables sleep

You in the dark
you in the pain
you on the run
living a hell living your ghost
living your end
never seem to get in the place
that I belong
don't wanna lose the time
lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
whatever you do it's all good
whatever you say it's alright

Silence is not the way
we need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
on a decline
breaking the waves
watching the lights go down
letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
whatever you do it's all good
whatever you say it's alright

Silence is not the way
we need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
we'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

Bush, “The Science of things”, 2000
