Kate Bush Hounds of Love

From her 1985 album Hounds of Love

Lyrics:

"It's in the trees!
It's coming!"

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

the hounds of love are hunting me
I've always been a coward,
And I don't know what's good for me.

(Well) Here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone!
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off,
And (i will) throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beats so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real--
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be this,

Among your hounds of love,
And feel your arms surrounding me.
I've always been a coward,
I never know what's good for me.

(well),here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need la la la la la ya yo ya yo
Your love!

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need la la la la la yeah!

@TheReasons2010 Nonsense. I actually really enjoyed the Futureheads version but this is masterful.

[aimspader]

Oh, Wow! This song sets my soul free. I haven't listened to Kate since the early '90s. How could I've deprived myself like that?!!

[cactussociety]

both versions are brilliant.Gotta give credit to both kate and the futureheads

[MuscleShark2]

Good song, I prefer the futureheads cover myself. Dont hate me for it, its all about opinions.

[ThatBlokeCalledRyan]

@ambassador7 I almost feel bad saying it but although this one's feckin' great I might even prefer the Futureheads one.

@rudyfoolish

I don't have a problem with Kate bush's version, I just don't like her vocal style.

Suck is up fanboy :L

[rudyfoolish]

@mrorangelightning lame



[mrorangelightning]

I prefer the futureheads version, because I don't like Kate bush's vocal style.

There is , however, no doubt that this is one f the greatest songs ever written

[Omega7772]

@melvinceltic Well that explains it all then!haha!

[melvinceltic]

@Omega7772 it isn't at all, it's modern and done it a sense of justice, helping the younger kids see the brilliance that is Kate as they may then think "i'll check out the original"........some of the live \ acoustic versions of this from the Futureheads make my willy spill sticky white love piss
