Rubberband Girl.
(Bush)

See those trees
Bend in the wind
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
You see I try to resist

A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl
A rubberband girl me
A rubberband girl me
Oh I wanna be a rubberband girl

When I slip out
Of my catapult
I gotta land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up

Give like a rubberband
Twang like a rubberband
Snap like a rubberband

Rub a dub a dub a dub
Rub a dub a dub
Rub a dub

One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Three rubberbands won't keep you up

Here I go
Yeah

One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Three rubberbands won't keep you up.


And So Is Love.
(Bush)

And you huh?
You do huh?

We let it in
We give it out
And in the end
What's it all about?
It must be love

I give you my
I give you my
You give me your
You give me your joy

We used to say
"Ah hell, we're young"
But now we see that life is sad
And so is love

Ooh baby live your life for love
Ooh baby live your life for love

Ooh baby for the sake of love
Ooh baby for the sake of love

And whatever happens
What really matters?
It's all we've got
Isn't that enough?

Life is sad and so is love

You let it slip
You let it slip
I love you more
I love you more for it

Life is sad and so is love

All for love
Just for the sake of love
You set me free
I set you free.


Eat the Music.
(Bush)

Split me open
With devotion
You put your hands in
And rip my heart out
Eat the music

Does he conceal
What he really feels?
He's a woman at heart
And I love him for that
Let's split him open

Like a pomegranate
Insides out
All is revealed
Not only women bleed
Take the stone out
Of the mango
You put it in your mouth
And pull a plum out

Take a papaya
You like a guava?
Grab a banana
And a sultana
Rip them to pieces
With sticky fingers
Split the banana
Crush the sultana

Split 'em open
With devotion
You put your hands in
And rip their hearts out

Like a pomegranate
Insides out
He's a woman at heart
And love him for that

All emotion
And with devotion
You put your hands in
What ya thinking?
What am I singing?
A song of seeds
The food of love
Eat the music.


Moments of Pleasure.
(Bush)

Some moments that I've had
Some moments of pleasure

I think about us lying
Lying on a beach somewhere
I think about us diving
Diving off a rock into another moment

The case of George the Wipe
Oh God I can't stop laughing
The sense of humour of mine
It isn't funny at all
Oh but we sit up all night
Talking about it

Just being alive
It can really hurt
And these moments given
Are a gift from time

On a balcony in New York
It's just started to snow
He meets us at the lift
Like Douglas Fairbanks
Waving his walking stick
But he isn't well at all
The buildings of New York
Look just like mountains through the snow

Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive

And I can hear my mother saying
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Isn't that a great saying?
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Here comes the Hills of Time

Hey there Maureen
Hey there Bubba
Dancing down the aisle of a plane
'S Murph playing his guitar refrain
Hey there Teddy
Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road
Hey there Michael
Do you really love me
Hey there Bill
Cold you turn the lights up?


The Song of Solomon.
(Bush)

The Song of Solomon
The song of everyone
Who walks the path
Of the solitary heart
The soul cries out
Hear a woman singing

Don't want your bullshit yeah
Just want your sexuality
Don't want excuses yeah
Write me your poetry in motion
Write it just for me yeah
And sign it with a kiss

Mmm, just take any line
"Comfort me with apples
For I am sick of love
His left hand is under my fhead
ANd his right hand
Doth embrace me"
This is the Song of Solomon
Here's a woman singing

And I'll do it for you
I'll be the Rose of Sharon for you
I'll do it for you
I'll be the Lily of the Valley for you
I'll do it for you
I'll be Isolde or Marion for you
I'll do it for you
Ooh I'll come in a hurricane for you
I'll do it for you

A wop-bam-boom

Don't want your bullshit yeah
Just want your sexuality


Lily.
(Bush)

Oh thou who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet

Well I said
"Lily, oh I don't feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me"
ANd she said
"Child you must protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"

Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

I said
"Lily, oh I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said
"Child take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"


The Red Shoes.
(Bush)

Oh she move like the Diva do
I said "I'd love to dance like you"
She said "Just take off my red shoes
Put them on and your dream'll come true
With no words with no song
You can dance the dream with your body on
ANd this curve is your smile
And this cross is your heart
And this line is your path

Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya
Really happening to ya
Really hapening to ya"

Oh the minute I put them on
I knew I had done something wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes they can't stop dancing, dancing
And this curve is your smile
ANd this cross is your heart
And this line is your path

"Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya"

She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance till her legs fall off

Feel your hair come tumbling down
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
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true

Call a doctor, call a priest
They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter

Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya

You gotta dance.


Top of the City.
(Bush)

One more step to the top of the city
Where just a couple of pigeons are living
Up on the angel's shoulders

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
Welcome to the loneliest city in the world
It's no good for you baby
It's no good for you now
Keep looking up for the ladder
I don't know if you'll love me for it
But I don't think we should suffer this
There's just one thing we can do about it

Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shoulders

See how that building there is nearly built
There's a big fire over on the north of the city
I see you walking down the street with her
I see your lights going on and off
She's no good for you baby
She's no good for you now
Look I'm here with the ladder

I don't know if you love me or not
But I don't think we should ever suffer
Ther's just one thing we can do about this

One more step to the top of the city
Put me up on the angel's shoulders

And I don't mind if it's dangerous
I don't mind if it's raining
Take me up to the top of the city
And put me on the angel's shoulders
Take me up to the top of the city
Mmm yes one more step to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shoulders


Constellation of the Heart.
(Bush)

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 now
And here we'll find the constellation of the heart

Steer your life by the stars
On the unconditioned chance
'Tis here where hell and heaven dance
This is the constellation of the heart

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 now
And here we'll find the constellation of the heart

The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart

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 now
And here we'll find the constellation of the heart

The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart

Well we think you'd better wake up the capt'n
There's something happen'n up ahead
We've never seen anything like it
We've never seen anything like it before
I want a full report
That's it
What do you mean "that's it?"
What am I supposed to do about it?
We don't know but you can't run away from it
Maybe you'd better face it
I can't do that
C'mon face it!
I can't do that
C'mon, c'mon face it
What am I gonna do?
Is it gonna hurt, is it gonna hurt me bad

Ooh here's the constellation of the heart

Who said anything about it hurting?
It's gonna be beautiful
It's gonna be wonderful
It's gonna be paradise

(Just being alive it can really hurt...)

Ooh find me the man with the ladder
And he might lift me up to the stars

(Without the pain there'd be no learning
Without the hurting we'd never change)

Ooohand if you see the woman with the key
I hear she's opening up the doors to heaven
Oh and here comes the man with the stick
He said he'd fish me out the moon

Ooh here's the constellation of the heart
Ooh here's the constellation of the heart
It is the constellation of the heart

Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart.


Big Stripey Lie.
(Bush)

Oh big stripey lie moving
Like a wavy line
Coming up behind

All young gentle dreamsd drowning
In life's grief
Can you nag on to me?

Don't want to hurt you baby
I only want to help you
I could be good for you

Your name is being called by sacred things
That are not addressed nor listened to
Sometimes they blow trumpets

Only want to help you
Never want to hurt you
I know I could be good for you

Oh my God it's a jungle in there
You've got wild animals loose in here

Want to help you
Never hurt you
Good for you

Hey all you little waves run away
Mmm run away.


Why Should I Love You?
(Bush)

The chapter says
"Put it out of your mind"
Mm, give it time...

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet

of all of the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?

Have you ever seen a picture
Of Jesus laughing?
Mmm, do you think
He had a beautiful smile?
A smile that healed

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
THe "V" of the velvet
The "E" of my eye
The eye in wonder
The eye that sees
The "I" that loves you

Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?


You're the One.
(Bush)

It's alright I'll come 'round when you're not in
And I'll pick up all my things
Everything I have Ibought with you
But that's alright too
It's just everything I do
We did together
And there's a little piece of you
In whatever
I've got everything I need
I've got petrol in the car
I've got some money with me
There's just one problem

You're the only one I want
You're the only one I want
You're the only one I want
You're the only one I want

It's alright I know where I'm going
I'm going to stay with my friend
Mmm, yes, he is very good looking
The only trouble is
He's not you
He can't do what you do
He can't make me laugh and cry
At the same time
Let's change things
Let's danger it up
We're crazy enough
I just can't take it

I know where I'm going
But I don't want to leave
I just have one problem
We're best friends yeah?
We tied ourselves in knots
Doing cartwheels 'cross the floor
Just forget it alright

Sugar?
Honey?
Sugar?
