Kate Bush - The Wedding List (1979 Xmas Special)

Kate performs "The Wedding List" on the 1979 Christmas special.

Lyrics:

No, I'll never give the hunt up,
And I won't muck it up.
Somehow this was it, I knew.
Maybe fate wants you dead, too:
We've come together in the very same room,
And I'm coming for you!

Did you think I'd ever let you
Get away with it, huh?
He swooned in warm maroon.
There's gas in your barrel, and I'm flooded with Doom.
You've made a wake of our honeymoon,
And I'm coming for you!"

"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime:
'Newlyweds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride!
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"

("She sure put him on the--")

I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.

Now, as I'm coming for you,
All I see is Rudi.
I die with him, again and again.
And I'll feel good in my revenge.
I'm gonna fill your head with lead
And I'm coming for you!

And when it's all over you'll roll over
The butt of my gun:
One in your belly, and one for Rudi.
You got what you gave by the heel of my bootie.
Bang-bang--Out! like an old cherootie,
And I'm coming for you!

"All of the headlines said 'Passion Crime:
'Newlyweds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride!
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"

("She sure put him on the--")

I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.

"After she shot the guy,
She committed suicide.
I'm coming, Rudi!
"And later, when they analysed,
They found a little one inside.
I'm coming, coming, coming, honey!
"It must have been Rudi's child."
I shot him!
"Never mind, she got the guy."
He hit the ground, Rudi!
"An eye for an eye."
Ashes to ashes...
"Eye for an eye."
Rudi!

How is this Christmas?  Love her but this is not a Christmas song. It is from the Comic Strip Presents Les Dogs.

@shannonb082905 Well, I never said it was a Christmas song either. And this has absolutely nothing to do with "Les Dogs" or The Comic Strip. The video is taken from a TV show from 1979. The show was officially just called "Kate", but it's usually called the "Christmas show" or "Christmas special" since it was broadcast on December 28, 1979.

Who's on bass?

@visog It's Del Palmer on bass.

Nothing says "Christmas Special" like a song about murder.

Another master piece from this extremely talented lady

This song was recorded in my mind since my early childhood, and I spent years trying to know who was the singer and what was the song !! All what I know was the music and that there was a bride and dead groom, with no lyrics, no song title, and no singer name! Even playing it on a keyboard didn't make anyone knows what was it! I'm SO THANKFUL to finally find it today! It was in my head for more than 30 years, searching for it was so difficult! So beautiful! Thank you! Mercy! You have no idea :)

@chocgirl052 I mean best of all Kate's songs, not just that album.

[chocgirl052]
