RUNNING UP THAT HILL - KATE BUSH


1.- Historia

La cantante y compositora británica Catherine (Kate) Bush, fue descubierta por el músico David Gilmour, miembro de la banda de RockPink Floyd. Obtuvo su primer contrato discográfico cuando contaba con solo 16 años de edad. Estuvo presente en las listas de éxitos de los 80s, pero, ha vuelto a los rankings debido a que su mayor éxito forma parte de la serie "Stranger Things" de Netflix.

2.- Lyrics

It doesn't hurt me

Do you want to feel

how it feels?

Do you want to know that

It doesn't hurt me?

Do you want to hear about

the deal that I'm making?


(Chorus 1)

"You

It's you and me"


(Chorus 2)

"And if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him

to swap our places

Be running up that road

Be running up that hill

Be running up that building

If I only could..."


You don't want to hurt me

But see how deep the bullet lies

Unaware

I'm tearing you asunder

There is thunder in our hearts


Is there too much hate

For the ones we love?

Tell me

We both matter

Don't we?


Repeat Chorus 1 (x2)

Won't be unhappy


Repeat Chorus 2


Repeat Chorus 1 (x2)

Won't be unhappy


Come on baby

Come on darling

Let me steal this moment

From you now

Come on angel

Come on, come on

Darling

Let's exchange the experience


Repeat Chorus 2 (x3)
