[Spoken Intro: Kate Bush]
Over here!
Over here!

[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
We're gonna be laughing about this
We're gonna be dancing around
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good

[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
Oh, so exciting
Mmm, go on and on
Every time you leave us
So Summer will be gone
So you'll never grow old to us

[Verse 2: Kate Bush, Chorus]
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Can you see the lark ascending?
What a lovely afternoon

[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
Oh, so romantic
Swept me off my feet
Like some kind of magic
Like the light in Italy
Lost its way across the sea

[Post-Chorus: Kate Bush]
Roma, Roma mia
Tesoro mio, bella
Pieno di sole luce
Balli così bene, bene

[Verse 3: Kate Bush]
Pianissimo
Pianissimo
What a lovely afternoon
What a lovely afternoon

[Verse 4: Kate Bush]
Oh, can you hear the birdsong?
The mistlethrush and the wood pidgeon
The chaffinch and the robin
The blackbird and the siskin
Like golden light dripping
And golden bells...

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge 1: Kate Bush, All]
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong

[Bridge 2: All]
Ring it, shake it down
Bring it on, let it in
Ring it, shake it down
Bring it on, let it in
Ring it, shake it down
Bring it on, let it in
Ring it, shake it down
Bring it on, let it in

[Bridge 3: Kate Bush]
Summer has come
Summer be long

[Outro: Kate Bush, All]
What a lovely afternoon
What a lovely afternoon
Oh, will you come with us
To find the song of the oil and brush?

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
