Kate Bush - Hammer Horror

Kate Bush - Hammer Horror

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?

I am 12, and I see nothing wrong with Kate. I love all her music, and have all her albums. I think she's 101% better both in personality and voice than the downright abysmal 'artists' in the charts now and I would choose her over any singer. To say I am growing up in the 2000s, I find music from the 70s/80s much better in many ways than the chart singers. 'Music' these days is nothing to proud of.

This is a thespian dumdum slug to your frontal lobe!

[AbsintheandOpiates]

The perfect woman doing what she does best.

@TheHorrocksSmile -- are you sure you are 12?

[steeplepossum39]

No matter what she sings about she fills it with emotion and beaty.What other female singer can do that?

[johnparrot9]

@TheHorrocksSmile Always encouraged by perception. I thing I will share is that is the responsibility of every generation to get past the over produced, mass marketed crap they try and shove down your throats and find the real musicians of your era. Trust me they are out there and need your support.

I am probably at least your parents age and maybe older, first time I saw Kate was SNL and Don Kirschner's rock concert when I was about 16 so that puts in a 77-78 time frame. She is still great.

@StoatOnToast Possession Sarah McLachlan. Seen her I couple of times and definitely in my top 5 female vocalists but not Kate who is always #1 to me.

[StoatOnToast]

Not many pop songs about stalkers. Interesting to see KB tackle sucha serious issue in such a fun way - only she could do that and make it work and with a very dark ending too

[willobi]

god her voice sends me cold.

[XEmeraldXGreenX]

@TheHorrocksSmile I absolutely agree!!

[BenjaminMcGofNY]

@TheHorrocksSmile Your generation may just turn out all right. If you like the 70s and 80s, may I suggest The Clash (though I imagine I don't need to)?

[Sitchean]

@TheHorrocksSmile I agree with you 100%
