"Running Up that Hill" is a song by the British singer/songwriter Kate Bush. It was the first single from her 1985 album Hounds of Love, released in the UK on 5 August 1985. It was her first 12" single. It was the most successful of Bush's 1980s releases, entering the UK chart at No. 9 and eventually peaking at the No.3, her second-highest single peak. The single also had an impact in the United States, providing Bush with her first chart hit there since 1978, where it reached the top 30, and featured prominently within the Dance Charts. Bush also performed the song with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd at the Secret Policeman's Third Ball.

The B-side of the 7" single contains Bush's song "Under the Ivy". The 12-inch single is an extended remix and an instrumental version of "Running up that Hill", as well as "Under the Ivy".

Alternative rock band Placebo also covered "Running Up that Hill", releasing it originally on the bonus disc of their 2003 album Sleeping with Ghosts and re-released Covers and the US version of Meds in 2007. Placebo's take on the song is more downbeat than the original. It has been described by Q magazine as 'sound[ing] more like a pact with the Devil' than the original 'deal with God'. Their version of the song made an appearance on the debut episode of The Vampire Diaries, "Pilot", concluding an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation entitled "A la Cart", on the Bones episode, "Judas on a Pole", on the first episode of The O.C. Season 4, "The Avengers, and on the NCIS: Los Angeles episode, "Empty Quiver". It was also used in the promotional video for the Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker rematch at Wrestlemania XXVI, and is also featured in the trailer for the movie Daybreakers.It can be also heard in the movies From Paris with Love and The Heavy. A version of the cover featuring Kate Bush was used in promos for the History channel's 2011 special, Gettysburg.

"Sucker Punch" is a 2 hour lobotomy. View at your own peril.

It doesn't hurt me
You wanna feel, how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making
You, you and me

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get Him to swap our places

Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
And there's a thunder in our hearts, baby

There's so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, you and me
You and me, won't be unhappy

If I only could
Make a deal with God
And get Him to swap our places

Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

Come on, baby, come on, come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on, angel, come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get Him to swap our places

Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get Him to swap our places

Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

If I only could
Be running up that hill
