Kate Bush - The Saxophone Song Lyrics






You'll find me in a Berlin bar,
In a corner brooding.
You know that I go very quiet
When I'm listening to you.

There's something very special indeed,
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy.
There's something very real in how I feel, honey.

It's in me.
It's in me,
And you know it's for real.
Tuning in on your saxophone.
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing
Shadows on your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor.
The stars that climb from her bowels,
Those stars make towers on vowels.

You'll never know that you had all of me.
You'll never know the poetry you've stirred in me.
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly,
I've never known or felt in myself so rightly,

It's in me.
It's in me,
And you know it's for real.
Tuning in on your saxophone.
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

Kate Bush The Saxophone Song Comments
  1. M.... C....

    Bought this album when it first came out in '78.Still have it!

  2. B.... T....

    this album is da shiznet. just discovered Kate a couple of months ago. I've known of her duet with Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up" for several years and liked it but for some reason never looked into her music further. what an idiot i was. i really love Strange Phenomena.... Kite..... and The Man With The Child In His Eyes..... on this record too. my only complaint about her first record is some of the songs in the second half of the album could use some extra texture or added music to them because they are pretty bare bones instrumentation wise if i wasn't so lazy i would spruce them up in Logic but ya know me..... so lazy!

  3. e.... ....

    she did not like this cover

  4. f.... ....

    I am the same age as Kate and at the time there was so many talented artists, we were spoilt. Kate was one of many artists, that I loved in 1978.

  5. K.... ....

    Not one single bad song on the lp.Production also to say is up with the finest.

  6. J.... ....

    Such a beautiful song and album. So english and so beautiful. There's something special indeed!

  7. e.... ....

    [Verse 1]
    You'll find me in a Berlin bar in a corner, brooding
    You know that I go very quiet when I'm listening to you
    There's something special indeed
    There's something special indeed

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
    There's something very real in how I feel, honey

    [Chorus]
    It's in me, it's in me
    And you know it's for real
    Tuning in on your saxophone
    Da-bah-da-bah-doo...

    [Verse 2]
    The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing
    Shadows from your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor
    The stars that climb from her bowels
    Those stars make towers on vowels

    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    You'll never see that you had all of me
    You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me
    Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
    I've never known or felt in myself so rightly


    [Chorus]
    It's in me, it's in me
    And you know it's for real
    Tuning in on your saxophone
    Da-bah-da-bah-doo...

  8. J.... E....

    If Kate told me that she has spoken to or has humpback whales as friends, I could easily believe it.

  9. P.... ....

    Please take a look at my channel for a magical tour of over 60 of Kate Bush's songs, including The Saxophone Song. The playlist's meant to tell a story /create a mood rather than being a list of most famous songs although certainly some of those are there.

  10. E.... ....

    La mejor canción pop que escuchado en mi vida :0

  11. M.... ....

    I don't know if you find this as well, but I find this song sister with oh to be in love and moving, like if they were the same in different musical universes or maybe they are on parallel or same key....

    M.... ....

    There is probably something similar in the harmony, but I don't know enough music theory to say what

  12. M.... S....

    Cadê os BR?

  13. m.... b....

    I gifted my daughter a copy of The kick inside for her 16th birthday this year. I was mesmerized by kate when I saw her perform Wuthering heights on totp as a child of about 7 + have always loved her since, even though as a child I didn't understand her lyrics I was captivated by her music. Although my kids have grown up with her , like myself I don't think I truly connected wholly to this album until I was around 16 + going through the transition to adulthood. I hope she cherishes it as I do

  14. p.... T....

    Transported back to the late 70,s sunny days , Kate Bush and Watney red barrel. Happy days, well nearly.

  15. M.... ....

    She wrote that song as 13 y.o. girl

  16. F.... ....

    this tune and "Moving" both start with the sounds of humpback whales, can u think of any other artist who started a tune the same way? Kate is special!

  17. m.... l....

    These were the good days thanks Kate You big star. You are

  18. L.... N....

    Divina 💖

  19. J.... O....

    Reminds me of Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music. Did Brian Eno produce for her?

  20. K.... H....

    I can't find the words to explain how much I love this track. Kate Bush fan for nearly 40 years.

  21. C.... F....

    i have a feeling this song is about having sex

  22. T.... S....

    David Gilmour arrangeur producteur ....

  23. D.... R....

    Thanks for posting!

  24. C.... B....

    Proggiest Kate song?

  25. p.... ....

    35 years ago I listened to this on my Walkman whilst sitting in my favorite Berlin bar. Some memories never fade.

  26. m.... d....

    This and sade, smooth operator:

  27. W.... ....

    Magical creature.

  28. h.... v....

    she's so beautiful

  29. N.... Y....

    I was amazed when ı fırst listened to this song 5 minutes ago. I love it.

  30. r.... ....

    Okay so the first time I listened to this song I thought she sang "I feel horny, it's in me" :3 It wouldn't suprise me that much, since one of her song lyrics go "The more I think about sex, the better it gets"..

  31. b.... ....

    Been in love with this genius since 1978.

  32. m.... ....

    Beautiful and great drums by Barry De Souza.

  33. C.... R....

    I love so much !

  34. P.... M....

    Brings back beautiful memories

  35. V.... J....

    Ouvindo esta musica maravilhosa em 2017

  36. t.... ....

    2:37 @ 12

  37. M.... I....

    WONDERFUL.

  38. G.... B....

    Awesome outro

  39. M.... D....

    SHE IS SIOUXSIE SIOUX, ALISON MOYET; P.J. HARVEY; PERTER GABRIEL AND TORI AMOS ALL ROLLED INTO ONE

  40. a.... ....

    I can't get enough of listening to K. Bush. All of her music is amazing. What a talent.

  41. m.... g....

    ... skąd ona się wzięła ?????? zjawisko na skalę wszechświatową !!!!!! ..... GILLON

    m.... g....

    Pan dotknął ją palcem w chwili narodzin i rzekł - Ty, dziecko, jesteś wybrana! Powierzam ci talent! :)))

  42. A.... R....

    that sequencer at the end is an awesome touch

    A.... R....

    It has David Gilmour written all over it. He did something similar when he produced Arcadia's So Red The Rose in 1985.

  43. W.... ....

    Her voice just doesn't get old, there's rarely a day that I don't listen to her cause her music is my refuge

  44. B.... ....

    This song is something special indeed! Thank you Kate.

  45. A.... G....

    so good!

  46. p.... k....

    amazing song

  47. T.... K....

    einfach immer noch schön, pump up the volume!

  48. H.... N....

    The intro is killing me. And the intro for Supertramp' The Meaning too. Both goes deep beyond words.

  49. K.... ....

    As far as i know, this was a 1975 recording when she was only 17, and touched up for the album, late '77. The other song is The Man With the Child in His Eyes. Dave Gilmour?

    K.... ....

    Kelly14UK only 17 wow

  50. S.... H....

    Her voice sounds very young in this.

    S.... H....

    17 years old.

    S.... H....

    Wait, wasn't this one of the studio demo with Gilmour when she was 13?

  51. H.... ....

    This song is amazing. Kids my age don't even know.

    H.... ....

    HipnikDragomir ikr i'm 12 and kate is one of my favorite artists.

    H.... ....

    Well'' all i can say to you is that you have obviously been very well educated. You will always love kate's music, you never get tired of listening to it. Hats off to you!!!! Enjoy:)

    H.... ....

    We raise our hats to Maria Banka...

    H.... ....

    I'm 37 & I know!

  53. Y.... Z....

    Excellent song,thanks for posting!!

    Y.... Z....

    Yaya Stig

  54. A.... G....

    I love this song, but I wanted to specifically acknowledge that time signature switch for the last minute with those swirling electric keys. One of my favorite moments in any song.

    A.... G....

    +Andrew Genova Then it's time for you get "The Dreaming" .Ha Ha!

    A.... G....

    I know, right? I love that part!

  55. M.... R....

    I imagine shes a great mother!

  56. A.... S....

    Adoro o saxofone e a melodia do instrumento vocal de Kate Bush

    A.... S....

    dennysdealmeidaazevedo

  57. j.... s....

    Would love to see her live this song is one of my favourites. I remember playing this at college she's amazing !

    j.... s....

    @***** First of all, saying she hired 100 people is just being stupid. She hired 16 people, to play instruments she probably doesn't know how to play. She played piano the keyboards, she sung and she wrote and composed every single song on the album.
    So yeah, besides her not being able to play drums and all that, I'd say she is talented and a great musician.

  58. H.... ....

    What a talented & beautiful Lady! 

  59. K.... M....

     yep she's lovely! and a great voice which would make all the nagging if you lived with her all the more bearably lol I love her music, she is simple unique

  60. b.... ....

    Another example of just how beautiful and melodic Kate's songs are. Understated saxophone, the repition of the keyboards and the very imaginative lyric. Bet your life she was praised for her Imagery during English lessons at school. So young and she comes out with this and the rest of the album.... extra-ordinary to say the least. Was stunned when I saw her performance on The Tour Of Life all those years ago and have loved her work ever since. Hail Kate, the most original female artist so far. Glorious. 

    b.... ....

    That must have been something to see , very envious, shame she didnt do a live show again for do many years.

    b.... ....

    @Barry Rayson Certainly was something to see Barry. Still have the programme too! :) Hope you are liking the later music too. All the best.

  61. m.... o....

    GOD SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL

    m.... o....

    I HAD SUCH A LONG OF HOUNDS OF LOVE PHASE AND THEN THE DREAMING AND NOW THE KICK INSIDE IT WILL NEVER END I CAN'T STOP GROWING AND LEARNING AND LOVING HER

    m.... o....

    @mildew on rice ....wait till your hear the rest then! :D

    m.... o....

    Simply stunning.

  62. S.... B....

    So glad Kate is coming back

  63. a.... ....

    going to see her 26/8/ 14 cant wait.

    a.... ....

    So, how was it?

    a.... ....

    @Zim Brabim
    i can honestly say it the best concert iv,e ever seen in my life truly amazing, just hope it comes out in dvd, like watching a salvador dali painting coming to life at times, and her voice gives me goose bumps just thinking about it 10 out of 10.

    a.... ....

    @andyspet You lucky, lucky bastard! :-)  I'm looking forward to the DVD, too.

    a.... ....

    @Zim Brabim
    ha ha i know i really was, lets hope she decides she loves playing live, and does a big tour around england.:-)

  64. K.... D....

    So many lost years - a crying shame.

  65. V.... ....

    I know there are people claiming that Tori Amos is the new Kate Bush....sorry Amos is the Made In Taiwan version. This is the real thing.

    V.... ....

    @Kent Mains
    It was a figure of speech:). But we have to be fair. Kate Bush was the first one and doesnt stop to innovate and create for ...37 years now. Tori Amos is , indeed, talented, but she is, as they used to say in France: the Poulidor of female UK singer. No offense to the lady but I have checked and she can't claim as much as Kate could if she wanted. Let's put it the other way.. Tori is talented, KB is an alien..


    It is not only a matter of taste, it is a fact. . Ok by now, you know I am a fan. :)

    V.... ....

    Sorry for missing your initial point. I don't put Tori on the same level as Kate, no one is on that level! I think Kate fans tend to be a little harsh when it comes to Tori Amos.

    V.... ....

    Bjork anyone?

    V.... ....

    Gtfo of here Henry.

  66. N.... H....

    Forgot about this one, thanks for getting it up here

    N.... H....

    Nancy Hughes I like you please contact me my imo and watsap nambar 00923212448666

  67. M.... W....

    I love her! I was a very young teen singing into my hairbrush mic in front of the mirrors in my mother's hair salon! Dressed in leotard and leggings.

    M.... W....

    Ah , I remember it well. !!!

  68. T.... B....

    That photo, what a beautiful woman.

  69. m.... ....

    Ever dreamed about Kate? Then you woke up. NO, it was only a dream...? So cruel.

    m.... ....

    Your right!!!

    m.... ....

    When I was 16yo (1978) I had a dream she whispered "yes" into my ear. So when I heard Sensual World in 1989 it sent me into a existential melt down.

    m.... ....

    Her face was at my window. I tried to let her in but it wuthered and faded.

  70. d.... ....

    Dave Gilmour デビット・ギルモアは知ってますが、ベルリンバーは知らない、だれかなぁ?

  71. p.... ....

    amazing/niesamowite!

  72. D.... c....

    If you are listening to this it means you are one of the lucky ones ...remember there are lots of people out there who are oblivious to the genius that is Kate Bush 

    D.... c....

    I don't take for granted my luck in knowing her music.

    D.... c....

    I just keep on breathing her music:)

    D.... c....

    Out, in, out, in, out, in...

    D.... c....

    85% of the people who I have shown her music to have looked at me as if I had a mental condition. They just don't get it, I think. Music doesn't just have to be some little triviality you can have playing in the background. It's an art form which has become less and less of itself over the years, and if Kate continues making music, we may have a more hopeful future ahead of us.

  73. m.... w....

    jammy sir...very jammy:)

  74. C.... S....

    To be fair it's not just today's stars. Basically no one could even dream of being 1/10 as talented as Kate.

  75. V.... S....

    amazing

  76. v.... ....

    CUNNIES

  77. J.... E....

    Goosebumps.

  78. D.... ....

    Sweet memories, a vinyl party is needed ! :)

  79. s.... s....

    She can hate her look, ok good on her ;-)

  80. s.... s....

    lucky, cool

  81. B.... L....

    I had to come here to clean my brain after watching a Niki Minaj video. That's how bad it is.

    (same age as you, btw, but I didn't discover KT until I was in my early 20s)

  82. W.... ....

    :-) yeah me too. Well, most people have weird emotions about their selfportraits and images, guess that explains her attitude?

  83. J.... G....

    where i heard this song for the first time i get breathless this was a fantastic song from her

  84. B.... ....

    She said she hated this picture of her but to me she looks absolutely gorgeous

  85. J.... ....

    Awesome! Listening to this when I was 13 and now I'm 46. Somehow that over rated rubbish you hear on the radio today just doesn't wash. Their voices all sound like american robots that can't wait to get their knickers off. No one sounds like Kate.

  86. T.... ....

    Heard this as kid on the radio and over the years. I had no clue who sang this till now.

  87. G.... C....

    You're a lucky guy! She's so awesome!!!

  88. m.... s....

    Damn Kate is so good, listened to this so many times and its still fresh.Cant put my finger on it, she's just so captivating.

  89. L.... S....

    Is there a woman with a voice more lovely than this?

  90. P.... ....

    You lucky thing there. I wish I'd been there.

  91. S.... M....

    I saw this live in 1979. Fantastic!

  92. G.... T....

    i want a sax....

  93. d.... d....

    is the intro done by a whale

  94. C.... ....

    Get in line, pal. ;)

  95. Q.... ....

    That Saxophone is so relaxing it like an evening time warmth...i'm an artist isk ...but i fucking love this song!!!!
