Kate Bush, with her new single, Wuthering Heights.

# Out on the wily, windy moors

# We'd roll and fall

# In green

# You had a temper like my jealousy

# Too hot, too greedy

# How could you leave me

# When I needed to possess you?

# I hated you, I loved you, too

# Bad dreams in the night

# They told me I was going to lose the fight

# Leave behind my Wuthering

# Wuthering, Wuthering Heights

# Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy Come home

# I'm so cold

# Let me in your window

# Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy

# Come home, I'm so cold

# Let me in your window

# Ooh, it gets dark!

# It gets lonely

# On the other side from you

# I pine a lot

# I find the lot

# Falls through without you

# I'm coming back, love

# Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream,

# My only master

# Too long I roam in the night

# I'm coming back to his side To put it right

# I'm coming home to Wuthering, Wuthering

# Wuthering Heights

# Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy

# Come home, I'm so cold!

# Let me in your window

# Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy

# Come home, I'm so cold!

# Let me in your window

# Ooh, let me have it

# Let me grab your soul away

# Ooh, let me have it

# Let me grab your soul away

# You know it's me, Cathy

# Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy

# Come home, I'm so cold!

# Let me in your window

# Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy

# Come home, I'm so cold! #

Them Heavy People, the lady, Kate Bush.

# Don't drive too slowly

# Don't put your blues where your shoes should be

# Don't put your foot on the heartbreak

# She's losing that inner flame

# It was burning bright

# But she's losing the light fast

# She's only herself to blame

# Well, take care of yourself

# And remember Georgie

# But she's so OD'd on weeping

# She can hardly see

# That she's dropping beads

# Red, red glass is bleeding

# Dropping beads

# Red, red glass is bleeding

# Dropping beads

# Red, red on the parquet

# Telling me about the sea

# All his loves, till eternity

# Ooh, he's here again

# The man with the child in his eyes

# Ooh, he's here again

# The man with the child in his eyes

# He's very understanding

# And he's so aware of all my situations

# And when I stay up late

# He's always waiting

# But I feel him hesitate

# Oh, I'm so worried about my love

# They say, "No, no, it won't last for ever"

# And here I am again, my girl

# Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here

# Maybe he doesn't love me

# I just took a trip on my love for him

# He got the feeling

# They had met before

# Uncanny how she

# Reminds him of his little lady

# Capacity to give him all he needs

# Just like his wife before she freezed on him

# Just like his wife when she was beautiful

# He shouted out

'It's in the trees! It's coming!'

# When I was a child

# Running in the night

# Afraid of what might be

# Hiding in the dark

# Hiding in the street

# And of what was following me

# The hounds of love are hunting

# I've always been a coward

# And I don't know what's good for me

# Here I go

# It's coming for me through the trees

# Help me, someone

# Help me, please

# Take my shoes off

# And throw them in the lake

# And I'll be

# Two steps on the water

# I found a fox

# Caught by dogs

# He let me take him in my hands

# His little heart It beats so fast

# And I'm ashamed of running away

# From nothing real

# I just can't deal with this

# I'm still afraid to be there

# Among your hounds of love

# And feel your arms surround me

# I've always been a coward

# And never know what's good for me

# Oh, here I go

# Don't let me go

# Hold me down

# It's coming for me through the trees

# Help me, darling

# Help me, please

# And take my shoes off

# And throw them in the lake

# They told us all they wanted

# Was a sound that Could kill someone

# From a distance so we go ahead

# And the meters are over in red

# It's a mistake in the making

# From the painful cries of mothers

# To the terrifying scream

# We recorded it And put it into our machine

# Then they told us all they wanted

# Was a sound that Could kill someone

# From a distance so we go ahead

# And the meters are over in red

# It's a mistake in the making

# It could feel like falling in love

# It could feel so bad

# But it could feel so good

# It could sing you to sleep... #

WHISPERING: I bet my mum's going to give me a little toy instrument.

# But that dream is your enemy

ECHOING LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

# We won't be there to be blamed

# We won't be there to snitch

# I just pray that someone there Can hit the switch

# But they told us all they wanted

# Was a sound that Could kill someone

# From a distance so we go ahead

# And the meters are over in red

# It's a mistake we've made

# Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm...
