Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush


It doesn't hurt me
Do you want feel how it feels?
Do you want know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me
And if I could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
See if I could, oh
You don't want hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy
And if I could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I could, oh
You
It's you and me
It's you and me, won't be unhappy
Oh come on, baby
Oh come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
And if I could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Say, if I could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
So if I could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
Say, if I could
I'd be running up that hill
With no problems

Heard this song today once again (as many times in the past) and could not get it of my head....wonderful!

This song is about making a deal with God swap lives with another person. Bush explained in a 1985 interview: "It's about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities. It's saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, change places, that they'd understand what it's like be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem."

And, life gets better and better....rest assured....to understand what happened before in our younger selves and the memories created.

many scary good old days memories too, i.e. someone waited me outside my school, playing his guitar singing China Girl by David Bowie.
