It’s been such a long week
So much crying
I no longer see a future
I’ve been told when I get older
That I’ll understand it all
But I’m not sure if I want to
Running into her arms
At the school gates
She whispers that I’m a poor kid
And Granny takes me on her knee
She tells me I’m too sensitive
She makes me sad
She makes me feel like an old man
She makes me feel like an old man
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Dennis loves to look
In the mirror
He tells me that he is beautiful
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full
But my face is empty
He’s got a photo
Of his hero
He keeps it under his pillow
But I’ve got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan
I found it in a locket
I hide it in my pocket
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
What is so special about KB is that she is a maestro when it comes to switch the melody.
So many layers and so many different feelings at once.
My two favorite girls: björk and kate bush.
I can remember hearing 'Wuthering' for the first time back in the '70's and despite having a Zeppelin, Yes and Floyd sort of taste in music, I couldn't help but love it. I played 'The Kick Inside' to death, just for the musical variety, the weirdness of the lyrics and the joy of a mainstream artist with a progressive attitude and ability. She was, is, beautiful and it's hard to know how much of the crap that's written we should believe. As a music junkie, I can't say I would have thought any less of her music had she had two heads and warts - but it helped that she didn't. I've struggled to keep pace with her musical development as I've gotten older - but that's my failing, not hers - and long silent years were poorer for her absence. She should know that many of us (now) old timers were bolstered by her bravery, lifted my her lyricism and wounded by her beauty. No one else comes close really.
My god, she was, and is, staggeringly beautiful. But that's not the reason I am a fan. Every single song she writes is different, and every one in some way demonstrates her genius.

I think what is beautiful is how when she's talking about her grandma, her voice gets so quiet and tentative, like a kid who has been rebuked for something they can't help, but her voice becomes powerful and hopeful when talking about being older and becoming an astronaut.
