From her 1985 album Hounds of Love
Lyrics:
"Columbia now nine times the speed of sound."
"Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN
locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three."
"The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned
trajectory are all one line on the block"
"Roger (?) your (?) block (?) decoded (? recorded?)"
Hello, Earth.
Hello, Earth.
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight.
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little Earth.
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home,
And you asleep
On the seat.
I get out of my car,
Step into the night
And look up at the sky.
And there's something bright,
Travelling fast.
Just look at it go!
Just look at it go!
[Male choir singing]
("Listen!")
Hello, Earth.
Hello, Earth.
Watching storms
Start to form
Over America.
Can't do anything.
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea.
All you sailors,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All life-savers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you cruisers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you fishermen,
Head for home.
Go to sleep, little Earth.
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murder of calm.
Why did I go?
Why did I go?
[Male choir singing]
"Tiefer, tiefer.
Irgendwo in der Tiefe
Gibt es ein licht."
Go to sleep little Earth.

This takes me so far away I wonder if I'll ever get back. Awe inspiring amazing song. Wish I could be a writer one tenth as good as Kate Bush. Oh yeah, I cant play many instruments or sing like an angel either or dance or produce music and video or put up with suits who want money. I just will buy her albums like 50 words for snow and dream on.

She is a GENIUS !
-
@chazzplaya Never mind. found it. Its "Vokal Ansambl Gordela - Zinskaro".
-
that singing at around 3:30 where is it from?? Is it a sample?
-
Volume up, hair on end, goose bumps.
-
Brilliantly creepy :)
-
@noradosmith It can be either. Generally, the word order of "gibt es" is interrogative but in German the word order isn't that critical like it is in English.
-
@BloudyMarry so true!!!!
no one even comes close
-
It sounds german

I wish I could see her life in a concert 1985.
