The Sensual World by Kate Bush


Mmh, yes
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes
Took big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes
Stepping of the page into the sensual world
Stepping
where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes
Do I for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian would
When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes
And how we'd wished live in the sensual world
You don't need words, just kiss, then another
Stepping of the page into the sensual world
Stepping , off the page, into the sensual world
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes
I said, mmh, yes
But not yet, mmh, yes
Mmh, yes
Mmh, yes

.........................................................................
Kate Bush is and here she pulls from James Joyce, Molly Bloom's soliloquy for her song....enjoy!

Life is in all its manifestations! Embrace it and say Yes Yes Yes Yes....

.........................................................................
Molly Bloom's soliloquy is the eighteenth and final "episode" of Ulysses, in which the thoughts of Molly Bloom are presented in contrast those of the previous narrators, Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus. Molly's physicality is often contrasted with the intellectualism of the characters, Stephen Dedalus in particular.

Joyce's novel presented the action with numbered "episodes" rather than named chapters. Most critics since Stuart Gilbert, in his James Joyce's Ulysses, have named the episodes and they are often called chapters. The final chapter is referred as "Penelope", after Molly's mythical counterpart.

In the course of the monologue, Molly accepts Leopold into her bed, frets about his health, and then reminisces about their first meeting and about when she knew she was in love with him. The final words of Molly's reverie, and the very last words of the , are:

I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me the Moorish Wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

Joyce noted in a 1921 letter Frank Budgen that "[t]he last word (human, all too human) is left to Penelope." The episode both begins and ends with "yes", a word that Joyce described as "the word" and that he said indicated "acquiescence, self-abandon, relaxation, the end of all resistance."[1] This last, clear "yes" stands in sharp contrast her unintelligible first spoken in the fourth chapter of the novel.

Molly's soliloquy consists of enormous "sentences", The concluding period following the final words of her reverie is of punctuation marks in the chapter, the periods at the end of the fourth and eighth "sentences". When written this episode contained the longest "sentence" in English literature, 4,391 words expressed by Molly Bloom (it was surpassed in 2001 by Jonathan Coe's The Rotters' Club).[2]

I still can't copy how she moves and sings at the same time.

I believe she studied dance and focused on the performance art of movement in the video. Enjoy her as she is an artist of many talents!

Yes Kate Bush is few of the art performance in pop music industries. She is sort of weird but in a good way. I admire Annie Lennox too.
