Kate Bush - The Kick Inside lyrics

Your rating:

I`ve pulled down my lace and the chintz. 
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius? 
I`ll send your love to Zeus. 
Oh, by the time you read this, 
I`ll be well in touch. 

I`m giving it all in a moment or two. 
I`m giving it all in a moment, for you. 
I`m giving it all, giving it, giving it. 
This kicking here inside 
Makes me leave you behind. 
No more under the quilt 
To keep you warm. 
Your sister I was born. 
You must lose me like an arrow, 
Shot into the killer storm. 

You and me on the bobbing knee. 
Didn`t we cry at that old mythology he`d read! 
I will come home again, but not until 
The sun and the moon meet on yon hill. 

I`m giving it all in a moment or two. 
I`m giving it all in a moment, for you. 
I`m giving it all, giving it, giving it. 
This kicking here inside 
Makes me leave you behind. 
No more under the quilt 
To keep you warm. 
Your sister I was born. 
You must lose me like an arrow, 
Shot into the killer storm. 

[This song is also known in an early demo version, perhaps dating from between 1973 and 1976, which features a few alternate lines:] 


I`ve pulled down my lace and the chintz. 
Oh, do you know? You have the face of a genius. 
I`ll send your love to Zeus. 
Oh, by the time you read this, 
I`ll be well in touch. 

I`m giving it all in a moment for you. 
I`m giving it all in a moment or two. 
I`m giving it all, giving it, giving it. 
The kicking here inside 
Makes me leave you behind. 
No more under the quilt 
To keep you warm. 
Your sister I was born. Lose me. 
You must lose me like an arrow, 
Shot into the killer storm. 

You and me on the bobbing knee-- 
Welling eyes from identifying with Lizzy Wan`s story. 
I will come home again, but not until 
The sun and the moon meet on yon hill. 

I`m giving it all in a moment for you. 
I`m giving it all in a moment or two. 
I`m giving it all, giving it, giving it, giving it, giving it! 
The kicking here inside 
Makes me leave you behind. 
No more under the quilt 
To keep you warm. 
Your sister I was born. Lose me. 
You must lose me like an arrow, 
Shot into the killer storm.
