Coffee HomegroundKate Bush

Released: November 12, 1978

Songwriter: Kate Bush

Producer: Andrew Powell

[Verse 1]
Down in the cellar
You're getting into making poison
You slipped some on the side
Into my glass of wine
And I don't want any coffee homeground

[Verse 2]
Offer me a chocolate
No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game!
But tell me just how come
They smell of bitter almonds?
It's a no-no to your coffee homeground

[Pre-Chorus]
Pictures of Crippen
Lipstick-smeared
Torn wallpaper
Have the walls got ears here?

[Chorus]
Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna (In the coffee)
And you won't get me with your arsenic (In the pot of tea)
And you won't get me in a hole to rot (With your hemlock)
On the rocks

[Verse 3]
Where are the plumbers
Who went a-missing here on Monday?
There was a tall man
With his companion
And I bet you gave them coffee homeground

[Verse 4]
Maybe you're lonely
And only want a little company
But keep your recipes
For the rats to eat
And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground

[Pre-Chorus]
Pictures of Crippen
Lipstick-smeared
Torn wallpaper
Have the walls got ears here?

[Chorus]
Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna (In the coffee)
And you won't get me with your arsenic (In the pot of tea)
And you won't put me in a six foot plot (With your hemlock)
On the rocks

[Outro]
With your hemlock on the rocks
"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen"
With your hemlock on the rocks
(La lalala la la lala lalala la la)
With your hemlock on the rocks
(La lalala la la lala lalala la la)
"Es schmeckt wunderbar!"
With your hemlock on the rocks
(La lalala la la lala lalala la la)
"Es schmeckt wunderbar!"
With your hemlock on the rocks
(La lalala la la lala lalala la la)
With your hemlock on the rocks
With your hemlock on the rocks
With your hemlock on the rocks

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.
