Big Stripey Lie

Kate Bush

Oh big stripey lie moving

Like a wavy line

Coming up behind



All young gentle dreams drowning

In life's grief

Can you hang onto me?



Don't want to hurt you baby

I only want to help you

I could be good for you



Your name is being called by sacred things

That are not addressed nor listened to

Sometimes they blow trumpets



Only want to help you

Never want to hurt you

I know I could be good for you



Oh my God it's a jungle in here

You've got wild animals loose in here



Want to help you

Never hurt you

Good for you



Hey all you little waves run away

Mmm run away
