Oh England My Lionheart (Live)Kate Bush

Songwriter: Kate Bush

Producer: Kate Bush

[Verse 1]
Oh, England, my lionheart
I'm in your garden fading fast in your arms
The soldiers soften, the war is over
The air-raid shelters are blooming clover
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes
My London Bridge in rain again

[Verse 2]
Oh, England, my lionheart
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park
You read me Shakespeare on the Rolling Thames
That Old River Poet that never ever ends
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in
Keep the Tower from tumbling

[Chorus]
Oh, England, my lionheart
Oh, England, my lionheart
Oh, England, my lionheart
I don't want to go

[Verse 3]
Oh, England, my lionheart
Dropped from my black spitfire to my funeral barge
Just give me one kiss in apple blossom
Just give me one wish and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard my English Rose
Or with my shepherd who'll bring me home

[Chorus]
Oh, England, my lionheart
Oh, England, my lionheart
Oh, England, my lionheart
Oh, England, my lionheart
Oh, England, my lionheart
I don't want to go

Kate Bush

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.
