[Verse 1]
Four strings across the bridge
Ready to carry me over
Over the quavers, drunk in the bars
Out of the realm of the orchestra
Out of the realm of the orchestra

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Filling me up with the shivers
Filling me up with the shivers and quivers
Filling me up with the shivers

[Chorus]
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin

[Verse 2]
Paganini up on the chimney
Lord of the dance with Nero and old Nicky
Whack that devil into my fiddlestick
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

[Chorus]
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny
Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

[Chorus]
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin

[Chorus]
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin
Get the bow going
Let it scream to me
Violin, violin, violin

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.
