The kick inside

Coloured pencil faber-castell and mixed media on Steinbach paper.

 

"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

 

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, 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

 

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..."

 

THE KICK INSIDE - Kate Bush, 1978.
