Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh!
"You'll have to wait in here."

Pray God you can cope.
I'll stand outside
This woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man.
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking:
All the things I should have said, but I never said.
All the things we should have done, but we never did.
All the things I should have given, but I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away!

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

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 have said, but I never said.
All the things we should have done, but we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should have given, but I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

One of her very best songs, and that is a very, very high bar.



Under The Ivy is one of my tops, hits me similar to the way this one does...
Not well known sadly.

Hope they play it here one day.

My father took his life at the age of 28. 
He was an artist, an athlete and an advocate.
.. but he couldn't stand up to HimSelf. 

These lyrics bring me to tears.
Every. Damn. Time.  

"Just make it go away..."

I have loved this song since the recording first came out in 1989. I just now decided it might be my very favorite song. Period.

I have never been a lady, I wasn't born gay either. But this kind of song is something I can listen to every day.

This is one of those songs which when heard without distraction gets me lost in a world far away from this one. Completely beautiful and very moving. Kate Bush should do more of this.

I get the same chill you described. There are very few songs that make me feel like this. Truly a 10 rating.

Transcendent and gorgeous... I love this track.

I guess it's quite normal that high soprano type singers will divide people... it's quite a particular sound. Personally, I think Kate is incredible.

There's definitely a surface similarity between Kate Bush and Tori Amos... in that they are both sopranos, both primarily pianists and both solo writers/performers/producers who also happen to be women. But beyond the surface, the comparison is largely one made by lazy media figures... they have quite different vocal inflections and compositional styles. I think the comparison persists more than it does with say... two male tenors who play primarily guitar... because there are less artists to make the comparison between... ie, there will be many more well known male guitarists with a similar range than there are female pianists with a similar range. Or at least that seems like a sane theory to me.

a bit of bush is very nice but this one is used on a child cancer charity advert asking for donations with some heart breaking images.

lots of other bush to chose from, can we have a different one to save me from emotional blackmail?

It wasn't until just now as this was playing in the background that I really understood why people compare Kate Bush and Tori Amos. I totally thought this was a Tori Amos song and was surprised to see it was Kate Bush playing.

Reading some of the comments below, I have no idea why this track brings out so many haters. I suppose you had to have grown up with her in the 80's. Great albums starting in 1978 and through the 80's included: The Kick Inside, Lionheart, Never for Ever (my personal favourite from her early works), The Dreaming and The Hounds of Love and the album this track is from The Sensual World. Kate is a true artist, composing, singing, playing instruments, producing and at times engineering her own work. Brilliant in so many ways.

this is a heartbreaking song, and the delivery is phenomenal. as a woman, i've been right where she sings from. i don't care how cliche it is to say so. it's not something i want to hear often (this song) but boy, it is arresting when you don't expect it.

Pertinent and true. This song in the context of the movie in which it was used was brilliant. One should really see the movie 'She's Having A Baby' with Kevin Bacon. It really truly was an amazing scene. It will change anyone's negative opinion of this song.

Kate Bush has always been a polarising kind of artist it seems. Love her, hate her, hard to be indifferent to.

But I've been a fan since the 70's and this song is just about my favourite of hers.

For me, she's peerless.

So any use of the term "post-coital" automatically indicates that its author is "misogynistic"?  I'm not sure how you arrived at such a conclusion, but it seems like a pretty flimsy pretense of psychoanalysis, which is evidenced by the fact that the post you were referring to was written by a woman.
Great song, by the way.

Yes, it's her sheer vocal range, as well as the clarity and purity of her voice, that gives me goosepimples. Even when her songs are less than stellar (like a few on her latest double CD) her voice makes up for it. For some irrational reason (yeah, oxymoron I know), she always reminds me of Angela Carter, with an earthy and sensual feminism.

Mind you, I could do with never hearing Wuthering Heights again, having been overplayed to death and beyond on all media.

Hmmm...I believe awful is spelled and used correctly here. Awful can take on either of two meanings depending on the context. In particularly, see senses 1 and 3 in the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

For example, it would be perfectly correct to say "Isn't it awful how awful he is of the President?"

Like Peter Gabriel Kate's work isn't as instantly accessible as most and requires the listener to invest some time and effort before her music is truly appreciated. Put simply it is for the more intelligent listener like those that can spell awful

I'm simply in awe with not just her range, but the power in her voice.

She sounds like Florence Foster Jenkins, only not as good.

As Kate says, "Make it go away . . . make it go away . . ."

Me, too. I adore this song (and Kate Bush) {#Hearteyes}
If I'm in the middle of something when this comes on, I can't concentrate on anything else but this song. That's usually a great thing, but unfortunately not so much today. :(
But.....at the same time, I'm loving every second of it. Guess that - for me at least - that's what makes a truly great song.
