KATE BUSH lyrics - The Kick Inside

I've pulled down my lace and the chintz.

Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?

I'll send your love to Zeus.

Oh, by the time you read this,

I'll be well in touch.



I'm giving it all in a moment or two.

I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.

I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it.

This kicking here inside

Makes me leave you behind.

No more under the quilt

To keep you warm.

Your sister I was born.

You must lose me like an arrow,

Shot into the killer storm.



You and me on the bobbing knee.

Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read!

I will come home again, but not until

The sun and the moon meet on yon hill.



I'm giving it all in a moment or two.

I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.

I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it.

This kicking here inside

Makes me leave you behind.

No more under the quilt

To keep you warm.

Your sister I was born.

You must lose me like an arrow,

Shot into the killer storm.
