Kate Bush - Hammer Horror (Australia)

Kate performs "Hammer Horror" on an Australian TV show in 1978. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

You stood in the belltower,
But now you're gone.
So who knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?

They've got the stars for the gallant hearts.
I'm the replacement for your part.
But all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
I don't know,
Is this the right thing to do?

Rehearsing in your things,
I feel guilty.
And retracing all the scenes,
Of your big hit,
Oh, God, you needed the leading role.
It wasn't me who made you go, though.
Now all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
I don't know,
Is this the right thing to do?

Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.

I've got a hunch that you're following,
To get your own back on me.
So all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
I don't know,
Is this the right thing to do?

so glad to see that hammerhorror was actually a hit in Austrailia.

together belltowerwails with the nails of nicely played out piano.

I wish she'd go back to her first few albums and stop releasing embarrassing rubbish! (even though it's not really embarrassing rubbish). I'm only upset today because I've been a Kate disciple for decades and I can't honestly turn anyone on to her without asking them to go back 30 odd years. I'm not a troll - it just upsets me that I can't encourage people to start by listening to "Moving" on vinyl. The 'whale song' on crackling plastic being their first experience of Kate. I miss it. Come back!
