Kate Bush - The Red Shoes Lyrics
Oh she move like the Diva do
I said "I'd love to dance like you."
She said "just take off my red shoes
Put them on and your dream'll come true
With no words, with no song
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path
Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya
Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya"
Oh the minute I put them on
I knew I had done something wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes, they can't stop dancing, dancing
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path
"Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya"
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
Feel your hair come tumbling down
Feel your feet start kissing the ground
Feel your arms are opening out
And see your eyes are lifted to God
With no words, with no song
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
Call a doctor, call a priest
They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter
Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya
You gotta dance....

Kate Bush The Red Shoes Comments
Kate is gorgeous
"What is life if not the shadow of a fleeting dream"?
Umberto Eco.
Don't help strangers, especially the mono-browed.
Thank you Kate!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate, I always thought, you are NOT in there hands! I love ya that much. I pray for you. LOVE and LIGHT! The bad side will never come to us!!!
The girl on top form, what a fucking fantastic tune, pure power, love you Kate from hog11-19 xxx
The Witch she is .. love it
absolutely amazing the brilliant Kate Bush
If i didn't know Kate Bush, i would think that the Real singer is the Miranda and Kate was doing lipsync
Look up John podesta and red shoes. I like Kate Bush but big question marks over her now with the links, those devils, small skeletons shes dancing on.
Kate, bless, really can't act :)
i had this album and the videos to go with it on vhs.. it scared the hell out of me and i don’t know why
Oh hello i am Brasil i love Kate Bush M_M
This is about child sacrifices. What does he say at 7:33?
miranda richardson is phenomenal
寸劇が（笑）。そういう時代でしたね。
"It's in the trees. It's coming" - It's Night Of The Demon again with the passing of the curse.
Happy birthday Kate x
Fantastic the Musikvideo.
Yeah, it is really gut!
The 1948 film of the same title is also mesmerizing!
David Lynch? Mistery man?
Lindsay Kemp was a once in a lifetime character. Little known factoid he was born in Birkenhead.
Still fabulous! :-)
Arcydzielo Kate Bush.
You do know the meaning of red shoes don't you Kate? You wouldn't be pushing your satanic agenda on us, would you? 💯 Warlock
Most of us are grown up and realise that satan/gods are all bullshit so it doesn't matter what the myths say about red shoes (that's why they're called myths)
Queen Bush c'est elle la première celle qui trace la voie
O dia em que Kate Bush virou uma pomba-gira...
Kate Bush sempre teve referências líricas e visuais com ocultismo e rituais. Este vídeo é um deles, não por ter "diabinhos" nele.
Kate: "...and that's the idea for my video. So could you storyboard it please?"
Storyboard artist: "You have got to be fucking kidding me."
It's not even in my top 30 from Kate but can't help rewatching, exciting filming, choreography, the 2 girls captivate by their beauty & expressions, Kate most of course.
Great art! Thank you!
Why is Miranda Richardson speaking with a Scottish accent?
We will look back at this and say 'how did we not see it?' we can only hope Kate isn't one of them.
"You must sing back the symbols" ? Anyone know what this could be pointing to?
Think of this whole album (letting my age show) is a story, if you thread the songs together. So clues to that can be found thru out.
I believe the track. Moments of Pleasure is about how she got her smile back...
Horrível
I would Still like to see Kate Bush Live. She's so beautiful and Awesome 👏.
As if this piece isn't dark enough, just wait till you find out what red shoes really refers to.
Protest againist mysoginy! Am I right?
I bought this on VHS, god I am old, at the time at 6:42 it made me think of Cupid Stunt and "All in the best possible taste"(god I am ancient). :-)
This is the best thing on YouTube. Kate Bush, Miranda Richardson... it cannot get any better than this. Shut the whole thing down, its purpose has been achieved. And Lindsay Kemp is great in this. This is the best thing on YouTube, it cannot get any better than this.
For anyone looking for the entire film... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI4aLYHSbuQ
Thanks Alain, you're a legend.
Andrew Bayer got me here!
RIP Lindsey Kemp ❤
R.I.P. Lindsay Kemp.
Red shoes - I dare you to research their real meaning. I warn you, it’s not for the faint hearted. 😢
Their symbolic meaning is protesting against mysoginy and violence against women!
CAN YOU GIWE ME SOME CLUES YOU FOUND RELEVANT SISS.....I M SERBIAN....
rip Lindsay kemp
Moral of the story: Never trust a mono-brow dancer who runs out of a mirror. Oh and RIP Lyndsay Kemp, who appears in this video.
You forgot the bandaged hands :-)
RIP LIndsay Kemp
lenny Henry brought me here
Same here dude.
Нет слов, шедевр!
The Red Shoes story always terrified me as a kid..lol it took me ages to pluck up the courage to buy red shoes...lol I love this song.
She gotta dance - superb!
The rhythm seems like an Italian tarantella
David Bowie's Let's Dance (1983) too.
She knows whats to come when her time here is ended.
BRILLIANT
Love you Kate!! Next time I have wicked restless leg..I'll sing back the symbols :)
I just need to know what happens when they go to see Lily.
You're in luck, because the whole film has been uploaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI4aLYHSbuQ
Miranda Richardson and Kate Bush, imagine being in the company of these two absolute monsters of talent with stupendous beauty when this video was recorded. Now that's my dream tonight!
Oh, lordy. She is the nargles.
Go all in with Kate Bush. Love it, pure Kate.
You can hear Kate's Irish heart in this one!
Shes 100% English mate, which is echoed in her earlier song 'England, my Lionheart'.
RNW sorry, but she’s half Irish. Her mother was from Ireland. A lot of her songs have a Celtic sound
Kate's videos are like the Red Shoes... You watch one and you're hooked into her psychoactive dreamscapes... and you never want to leave...
i love this! x I love Miranda Richardson..cannot believe its her. I love when she says you need three pieces of paper..."I think I have some on the...piano" ..like we all do....I love how Kate B smiles at 2.43, I love the bandaged hands, I love the way the old man grits his teeth and stomps his staff, I love the way her feet dangle in the air and wiggle and i love the devils, the campest devils I have ever seen with their red flouncy red string..this is such a joy. Then it gets spooky.
Is that Miranda Richardson?
stunningarrayof Yes, it is.
Pure artistry
So, first is And so is love, then the Red shoes, Lily and Moments of Pleasure. Why do I feel this story has no end...unless...Jesus! And why is the girl irish? Oh well...the music is amazing anyway
Ah... Red shoes, like the ones all those young girls wear in HOLLYWOOD...
The guy in the video reminds me of the creepy guy from Lost Highway - "I'm in your fucking house..."
6:32 wtf lol
Kate is just so talented and beautiful
Tales of the unexpected 💜💚❤️
You will see them
This is very dark you don't want to ever look in the mirror if you have demons helping you
Kate what happened to you this is not you in your heart ☘️🍀💚
No green colour at all which is the heart😊Kate has evil around her now because she wanted money
Is this Miranda Richardson?? Aka Queenie...??😀
oscoe Yes, it is.
Thought so...she's great too!!!
Love this, Kate is amazing.
I could just tell from the approaching 2:28 that this was going to get good!!
The other woman looks like Frida Kahlo.
That's Miranda Ricjardson, I think. :)
The drawn eyebrows are what does it. She's great at taking on different faces.
she looks quite hot!@Kainlarsen
This is the woman that play Rita Sketer on Harry Potter !
Miranda Richardson ?
Yes😃
Thought it looked like Queenie ha ha
Watch this This Woman's Work vid and you'll notice "Percy" too :)
I love this song and I love this video.
surely this has got to have been an influence for the Guillemots track Get Over It. very similar structure and rhythms.
Miranda nailed it at 2:56
great song .... I really forgot it ...
ben bunu yükleyen Türk için buraya bayrak asiyorum!
Absolutely majestic and wonderful
Fantastic indeed
I see a lot of twin peaks in this
'They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter'! a great lyric!
in 0:14 Katy Perry appears on the scene :)
YOU MUST *SING BACK* THE SYMBOLS.
did david lycnh directed this
no.Kate bush herself did.
Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés related this story in detail in her book Woman who run with the wolves. The book is a real treasure if you are searching for the soul.
Yes a real treasure. Listening to Clarissa Pinkola Estés audio of The Red Shoes and it's been wonderfully healing and insightful (though painful too). Thank goodness for Fairytales (the original ones anyway).
fantastic women singer...
Perfection, it has everything.
What is up with that pale guy?
it's lindsay kemp if im not mistaking
he taught bowie many stuff (mime)
Absolutely love this song and love Kate!! Not too sure about Miranda's Irish accent though! Lol
Me again, smashing
I can feel David Lynch in here...
Omg that's exactly what I thought about. It gave me Mulholland Drive vibes
And obviously those red curtains
its explain all mysterious in Twin Peaks
Imagine if Kate had appeard in Twin Peaks. I think the universe would have imploded because it would have been like "welp, I think I'm done here now."
Vassiliki Mathioudaki I was thinking david bowie
pure brilliant
Pure Evil !
i want to dance like her! Kate Bush is so pure, her dancing is so truthfull and beautifull..!
I had a modeling job and wore red shoes and this was the sound track. Loved it since. Kate Bush is so creative and what a voice! Magical.
Wow !Wow !Wow !So So Good The Incredible,Unique,Wonderful Kate Bush ❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋🌹
