Kate Bush Leave It Open

From her 1982 album The Dreaming

Lyrics:

With my ego in my gut,
My babbling mouth would wash it up.
(But now I've started learning how,)
I keep it shut.

My door was never locked,
Until one day a trigger come cocking.
(But now I've started learning how,)
I keep it shut.

Wide eyes would clean and dust
Things that decay, things that rust.
(But now I've started learning how,)
I keep 'em shut.
I keep 'em shut.

Harm is in us.
Harm is in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
("Leave it open!")
Harm is in us, but power to arm.

Narrow mind would persecute it,
Die a little to get to it.
(But now I've started learning how.)
I leave it open.

I kept it in a cage,
Watched it weeping, but I made it stay.
(But now I've started learning how.)
I leave it open.
I leave it open.

Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.
("Leave it open!")
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
("Leave it open!")
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Har in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us--
Harm in you and in me!

What you letting in?
Tell me what you're letting in.
Say what we're gonna let in!

"We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in."

BEST Kate Bush Album Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sam Heald]

Credit for Background Vocals: Lisa Simpson. LOL. The Dreaming is my favourite album from amazing Kate.

[WeTheStrange]

Kate Bush is my fav singer since time began! I love the weirdness of this song. The whole album is in fact sheer brilliance and I could listen to it and mime to it and feel happy, sad and angry to it 24 hours a day for forever and three Tuesdays! KATE BUSH FOREVER!

[eeyumpeeyum]

LOL! Lisa Simpson! Hahahaha

[MiriamsHunger]

is this a remastered version? My CD is a UK import that doesn't sound as dynamic as this.  It's my favourite album of all time next to Queen II. I'd love to own this mix.

[TheSolistice]

Is it healthy to like Kate Bush so much?

[andyspet]

that, normal is'nt it. heres to the next 500, we love kate.

[HallucinogenicOm]

Damn I love Kate!

[dokidok sushi]

exactly

this song for ever and at 1.57 its just as an intense orgasm

[crimsonkng1]

I'm serious ... I think I've listened to this album 500 times ... maybe more.

[saupili]

the final 1:15 are among the most intense moments of music ever performed

[THCynical]

it makes for a good mix.. but i don't use iTunes under any other circumstances i promise.
