[Verse 1]
I look at you and see
My life that might have been
Your face just ghostly in the smoke
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here

[Chorus 1]
This is what I want, this is where I wanna be
This is what I need, this is where I need to be
This is what I want, but I know that it will never be mine

[Post-Chorus 1]
The thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting

[Verse 2]
I want you as the dream
Not the reality
That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me
But looking back over my shoulder
You're happy without me

[Chorus 2]
This is what I want, this is where I need to be
This is what I want, this is where I wanna be
This is what I need, but I know that it will never be mine

[Post-Chorus 2]
The thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine

[Interlude]

[Outro]
This is what I need...
This is what I want...

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.
