Kate performs "Violin" on the 1979 Christmas special.

Lyrics:

Four strings across the bridge,
Ready to carry me over,
Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Out of the realm of the orchestra.

Filling me up with the shivers.
Filling me up with the shivers and quivers.
Filling me up with the shivers.

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Paganini up on the chimney,
Lord of the dance,
With Nero and old Nicky.
Whack that devil
Into my fiddlestick!
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s,
Give me the Banshees for B.V.s.

Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee.
Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

  • does anyone kno which of her vids has the rollerskating demons with lasers?

  • You're probably thinking of "Sat In Your Lap". That's the only video where they use rollerskates.

  • This is amazing. She just lets fly and creates pure magic with no commercial consideration. Everything now in money first then image/marketing then hopefully some creativity. Joni Mitchell described the music industry as 'a corrupt cesspit '.

    Feel such gratitude for people like the genius that is Kate Bush still doing her stuff.

  • Almost perfect! But I would love to see this with Stuart Duncan, instead of the bloke on the guitar, doing the solo. ;)

  • Beats the pants off of lady Gaga any day

  • now i feel like watching an alice cooper vid....

  • Nothing like a true artist !!!amazing song and performance!!!

  • This a first for me,to see this video..very quirky,but that's Kate.

  • the guitar solo feels out of place; should have been a violin

  • awesome song! and i love the costume! Batlike, but the look suits Kate, as always. heck. Kate would look good in a sack.

  • LMAO!

    Watching this I kinda understand why John Peel could never take her seriously but... he got it wrong.

    She fuckin' rocks, lol.

  • Kate is the best female artist Britain has ever produced!
