Kate Bush - In Search Of Peter Pan

An incredibly beautiful song from her second album "Lionheart" from 1978.

Lyrics:

It's been such a long week.
So much crying.
I no longer see a future.
I've been told when I get older
That I'll understand
It all.

But I'm not sure if I want to.

Running into her arms
At the school gates--
She whispers that I'm a poor kid.
And Granny takes me on her knee.
She tells me I'm too sensitive.
She makes me sad.

She makes me feel like an old man.
She makes me feel like an old man.

They took the game right out of it.
They took the game right out of it.

When I am a man
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan.

Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.

Dennis loves to look
In the mirror.
He tells me that he is beautiful.
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full,
But my face is empty.

He's got a photo
Of his hero.
He keeps it under his pillow.
But I've got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan.

I found it in a locket.
I hide it in my pocket.

They took the game right out of it.
They took the game right out of it.

When I am a man
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan.

Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.

"When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are.
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true."

stunning set of pics perfectly arranged. thanks! What a song! What a woman!

[Symphonyofflowers]

@kennywowie You're welcome!

[TheQuietEye]

Entrancing.

Where on earth did you find all these photos?

I have no knowledge, but I really hope Kate had the idyllic childhood of which these photos seem to speak. Storing up thoughts and experiences to produce songs ranging from 'The kick inside' to 'Mrs Bartolozzi' and and 'Pull out the pin'.

You've got to admit, what recent media darling has produced anything more meaningful than 'Let's go dancing and then have intimate relations' type songs. Damn few. We need more Kate Bushes.

@TheQuietEye Thank you! Well, I found most of the pictures on Gaffaweb. Some are from Last FM and the rest are probably from Google. The video is over three years old so I don't remember where I found all of them.

And yes, Kate had an idyllic childhood. I have never read or heard anything else.
