Kate Bush – Breathing – 1980

    Paroles

    Outside gets inside
    Ooh-ooh, through her skin
    I’ve been out before
    But this time it’s much safer in

    Last night in the sky
    Ooh-ooh, such a bright light
    My radar send me danger
    But my instincts tell me to keep

    Breathing (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing, breathing my mother in (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing my beloved in (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing, breathing her nicotine (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing, breathing the fall (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in

    We’ve lost our chance
    We’re the first and last, ooh
    After the blast, chips of plutonium
    Are twinkling in every lung

    I love my beloved, ooh
    All and everywhere
    Only the fools blew it
    You and me knew life itself is

    Breathing (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing, breathing my mother in (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing my beloved in (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing, breathing her nicotine (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Breathing, breathing the fall (out, in, out, in, out, in)
    Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in
    Out, in, out, in, out, in, out
    Out, out, out, out

    Difference between a small nuclear explosion
    And a large one by a very simple method
    The calling card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash
    That is far more dazzling than any light on earth

    Brighter even than the sun itself
    And it is by the duration of this flash
    That we are able to determine the size of the weapon (what are we going to do without?)
    After the flash a fireball can be seen to rise

    Sucking up under it the debris, dust and living things
    Around the area of the explosion
    And as this ascends, it soon becomes recognizable
    As the familiar mushroom cloud
    As a demonstration of the flash duration test

    Let’s try and count the number of seconds for the flash
    Emitted by a very small bomb then a more substantial, medium sized bomb
    And finally, one of our very powerful high yield bombs

    What are we going to do without? (Ooh, please)
    What are we going to do without? (Oh, let me breathe)
    What are we going to do without? (Ooh, quick, breathe in deep)
    We are all going to die without (oh, leave me something to breathe)
    What are we going to do without? (Oh, leave me something to breathe)
    We are all going to die without (oh God, please leave us something to breathe)
    What are we going to do without? (Oh, life is)
