[Verse 1]
One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life
And where will it go?
Surely not with his soul
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B blow away?

[Hook]
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away

[Verse 2]
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors

[Chorus]
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious
Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny

[Post-Chorus]
Please don't thump me
Don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please don't thump me
Don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please don't thump me
Don't bump me
I want to stay here

[Verse 3]
Put out the light, then, put out the light
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine
Dust to dust
Blow to blow
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight

[Chorus]
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious
Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny

[Post-Chorus]
Please don't thump me
Don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please don't thump me
Don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please don't thump me
Don't bump me
I want to stay here

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.
