[Verse 1]
Oh big stripey lie moving
Like a wavy line
Coming up behi-hi-hind

[Verse 2]
All young gentle dreams drowning
In life's grief
Can you hang on to me?

[Chorus 1]
Don't want to hurt you baby
I only want to help you
I could be good for you

[Verse 3]
Your name is being called by sacred things
That are not addressed nor listened to
Sometimes they blow trumpets

[Chorus 2]
Only want to help you
Never want to hurt you
I know I could be good for you

[Verse 4]
Oh my God it's a jungle in here
You've got wild animals loose in here

[Chorus 3]
Want to help you
Never hurt you
Good for you

[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Hey all you little waves run away
Mmm run away

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.
