Kate Bush - Wow Lyrics






Emily...

We're all alone on the stage tonight.
We've been told we're not afraid of you.
We know all our lines so well, uh-huh.
We've said them so many times:
Time and time again,
Line and line again.

Ooh, yeah, you're amazing!
We think you're incredible.
You say we're fantastic,
But still we don't head the bill.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!

When the actor reaches his death,
You know it's not for real. He just holds his breath.
But he always dives too soon, too fast to save himself.

He'll never make the screen.
He'll never make the 'Sweeney',
Be that movie queen.
He's too busy hitting the vaseline.

Ooh, yeah, you're amazing!
We think you are really cool.
We'd give you a part, my love,
But you'd have to play the fool.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!

We're all alone on the stage tonight.
We're all alone,
On the stage,
Tonight.

Kate Bush Wow Comments
  1. r.... ....

    I think "Wuthing Heights" is great. "Running Up That HIll" is really good. And " This Woman's Work" is her greatest. Truly mesmerizingly in beauty. But damn if she isn't an underrated beauty...I mean I know people find her beautiful, but I think people are hesitant to point it out because they're afraid people will brand them as sexist or "not recognizing her talent". I recognize it all...but if her stage performance was coming from a less attractive girl I do think people wouldn't be nearly as enthralled. And that's okay...there's nothing wrong with beauty and understanding its more important than we'd like to admit. Especially in this day and age where everybody lies about what they're really thinking and believe lest the gestapo/religion of pc destroys their very lives...


    Where did that come from?

  2. A.... K....

    It will make me remember my past...

    😖😓😞😫😭

  3. A.... D....

    Brilliant on Vinyl, CD and MP3 and would love to see it on Holographic 7D of course. The money making actors are those who master the close up shot like Roger Moore with his close up facial expressions. Hahaha. Brilliant song about a brilliant industry and brilliant actors and musicians and extras. Hahaha. And everyone else on a film set especially the Tea or coffee maker. My Oscar award goes to the floor sweeper who makes the coffee and doughnuts. Hahaha.

  4. G.... A....

    Kate Bush for ever😃❤❤❤

  5. L.... T....

    3:40 "Mmm.. I was losing myself in the music there for a moment, forgive me. It just hits me so hard sometimes like a massive bit of masionary flying from a high building, or something, or a truck driving over your foot ya know?"

  6. S.... ....

    such a shame such a talented artist should sell her soul to psychotic narrative controllers 😥

    S.... ....

    Literally how

  7. N.... S....

    this sounds weird, but i love seeing her spin around lmao like in this one, and in wuthering heights. her movements are like a witch, in a good way. like her hand movements and her spinning around as if she cast a spell. well she sure cast a spell on me ;)

  8. N.... S....

    i pity the people who have never heard of kate bush. i just got into her a few months ago, i'm turning 18. she's my new favorite singer ever. i am in love.

    N.... S....

    So true. I'm 22 and actually had NEVER heard of her until a few days ago. I first looked up Sensual World after it was mentioned in a comment in Peter Murphy's video Cuts You Up (don't know why it was being compared). I now consider her one of my favorite artists as well. It feels great to discover such a rare kind of artist, doesn't it?

    N.... S....

    @Angelica Iris that's so cool!! i think the way i found her was by like seeing her in comments on other videos and hearing that she had a voice like nobody else so i was like wow i need to hear this. then i heard her in the handmaid's tale with her song cloudbusting, and i loved it so i checked her out, and i listened to all of her top 10 songs on spotify lol and now i'm obsessed. i had heard her name before, but never realized she was like exactly my music taste and exactly what i needed in life.

  9. S.... s....

    BOOM....UNBELIEVABLE...

  10. P.... D....

    The talent and beauty is mind blowing

  11. J.... H....

    What a woman!....

  12. G.... O....

    To me this is her best song. Love it

  13. �.... ....

    I like your style of singing. Thank you!

  14. T.... S....

    Wow. Unbelievable

  15. a.... g....

    fancied her when i was 14, still fancy her at 53 wow

  16. c.... ....

    she is a jewell

  17. M.... K....

    emily.....

  18. M.... E....

    English creativity at its best! 😍

  19. M.... R....

    She is truly unbelievable striking huntress who tops her performance 🎭💕

  20. D.... K....

    Kate bush is WOW 😍..... Amazing and beautiful

  21. A.... S....

    0:36 Gurl already got me all misty eyed.

  22. H.... ....

    She was how old when she wrote this? 19, if that? Jeeeeeeeeeeez.........

    H.... ....

    I think she was 13 when she wrote Man with a Child in his Eyes.

  23. L.... J....

    Incroyable sensualité cosmologique d’un cœur de lion.

  24. R.... A....

    The Lady Ga Ga's and Katy Perrys and Taylor Swift's and Ariana Grande's etc etc don't have a patch on this woman's talent, charisma or originality.

    R.... A....

    The majority of female artists nowadays only care about selling sex and getting paid. It isn't about meaningful lyrics anymore or anything like that. Truly sad, but at least we have timeless Kate :)

  25. D.... T....

    This is the most sarcastic song ever written and I love it. Big up Kate you bloody legend.

  26. U.... K....

    On this point, with this song, my record is only one millimeter thin.

  27. X.... C....

    Reminds me of Amanda Miguel. In a great way!!

  28. K.... E....

    I need to get this record out!

  29. S.... H....

    She's hot

  30. A.... N....

    I like the part were she says wowowowowowowow

  31. D.... A....

    Oh god I am so in love

  32. S.... M....

    So prophetic

  33. M.... G....

    The best self-ironic commenting song abot stage performer"s fate, from the very best multifaceted performance artist.

  34. M.... E....

    cellophane by fka twigs?

  35. V.... B....

    Man this song bring back gaming memories

  36. t.... l....

    My brother's friend's wife was the spitting image if Kate Bush back in the day. What a lucky sod! He was punching way above his weight.

  37. G.... M....

    Pretty sure my dad fancied the pants off this woman!... he never said, had her album, but it sort of makes sense knowing what i know now.

    G.... M....

    You can't blame him : apart from being a genius, she happens to be absolutely gorgeous

  38. D.... H....

    Her combination of songwriting ability , singing talent and artistic talent makes the the finest female artist of the last 50 years (personal opinion )

  39. S.... P....

    Greatest female artist ever in my humble opinion,

  40. A.... L....

    An Angel here on Earth...oh, how I love her........

  41. S.... R....

    "too busy hitting the vaseline" 😳

    S.... R....

    Sri Rohenia 🙈

  42. C.... L....

    She's really gifted for pantomime. She does all the right gestures to convey the meaning of the song. Brilliant as always.

  43. M.... H....

    How old is she in this video

    M.... H....

    probably no more than 20

  44. t.... l....

    Kate bush is sexy and amzing

  45. F.... D....

    Merci Madame Kete Bush pour votre immense talent deouis toujours et qui inpire tant et tant de générations! ☺❤❤❤

  46. L.... L....

    My god, she makes my heart sing! I want to hear this playing in my ears as I die.

  47. G.... P....

    Is Kate Bush Counselor Deanna Troi?

  48. p.... j....

    A pure goddess. .they call Madonna the Queen of pop but Madonna doesn't even compete with the classy elegance and sexualness of Kate. ..she's my queen

  49. E.... A....

    This was a dig at the entertainment industry....priceless!

  50. T.... T....

    It really is a crime that Kate Bush didn’t take off here in the US as she did in the UK. The Brits always seem to appreciate the weirdos and creative geniuses a whole lot more than us Americans. (And btw I use the term “weirdo” in a very endearing way)

    T.... T....

    *affectionate way

  51. S.... R....

    I think this song, as much as any, launched her into the realm of the elite songwriter.

  52. P.... D....

    What a doll

  53. o.... b....

    Unbelievable! (the range). 2:46

  54. A.... C....

    Hermosa voz, y ella, bella.

  55. W.... G....

    Its unbelievable

  56. �.... ....

    ★ Happy Birthday to Kate Bush ( Catherine Kate Bush , CBE )!

  57. S.... H....

    Happy birthday my all time favourite artist

  58. K.... J....

    Absolutely brilliant woman, love her songs.

  59. C.... S....

    The true legend is
    Kate Bush

  60. d.... h....

    my favourite song by the wonderful Kate Bush

  61. d.... m....

    Wow, Kate, You are unbeliavable. Greetings from Slovenia

  62. I.... F....

    Kate un mito intramontabile! Ti adoro!

  63. M.... A....

    It's very sad this song, to me it seems a woman attracted to a gay, and as she does not get anything, wants to destroy the guy
    at any price ...

    M.... A....

    That's not what the songs about

  64. J.... E....

    I can hear cyndi laupers true colours at the start of this. Compliment to kate.

  65. L.... B....

    Always play this loud and sing at the top of my voice.. When I'm down. It helps 🔥💜 magic

  66. M.... ....

    writes her own circumstance

  67. c.... ....

    WOW... \ O /

  68. m.... s....

    I think Kate was referring to the "Me TOO" movement long before 2018. 'You Amazing" ( eye roll) "you would have to play the fool" ( gun to her head) and references to the gay community in theatre. Amazingly talent you are Kate Bush, sorry its taken me so long to understand what you are saying... I have been a fan since the 70s..

    m.... s....

    And Metoo has what exactly to do with gayness?

  69. T.... K....

    Dam what a talent

  70. V.... �....

    3:25 mark to end, I know my ass would've been dizzy doing that lol

  71. P.... G....

    Wow_ unbelievable. No. Kate Bush makes it so. Fabulous

  72. T.... G....

    We still can marry...

  73. P.... E....

    Not only can she sing but she doesn’t get dizzy twirling about at the beginning. Oh yeah you’re amazing!

    P.... E....

    She was a dancer, so was I, and it's an old dancer's trick to always make sure your eye is focusing on the same spot with every turn and u dont get dizzy!😉

    P.... E....

    @Kimberley Vanderlinden she took dance and mime classes, it's a real stretch to call her a dancer.

    P.... E....

    @misterteaification whatever, she learnt the dancers trick to b able to turn and not get dizzy, fall over or puke.

  74. D.... T....

    To me this song is very beautiful and sad , it shows how fickle people are , this song specifically mentions the theater, and though it's the same art its different from film. To be a student of the craft means you are always under the scrutiny of the public as well as others in the field. It's a world of shadows , pretence and illusion. I am for using those gifts of the trade, for the art and performance. But these illusions makes it hard to see the person underneath. So the crowds and throngs of fake admirers and judgmental fans
    Make up they own ideas of who they think the actors really are behind mayas veil.
    They smile and tell you how great you are and stir the gossip with the other hand. But most of us in the field already know this
    and accept it with the work. Being an actor who's straight I have
    no reason to judge others on they're personal life , or have anyone judge me , but it's about having to deal with the ignorance and arrogance that exists in the public that people working in the industry shouldn't have to deal with and do.

  75. I.... l....

    1:29 WOw

  76. D.... T....

    I’m playing this at my funeral

  77. T.... K....

    Only 500,000 views wtf?

  78. w.... ....

    "No Vaseline"

    Ice Cube

  79. K.... S....

    Her movement never ceases to astound me. It's somehow entirely precise and fluid at once. It draws me in and leaves me spellbound every time.

  80. H.... C....

    The one and only Kate Bush with her irreplaceable style.

  81. R.... ....

    Part of this song is about gay sex. I never knew just heard it mentioned on a documentary. 2.15 lyric 'He 's too busy hitting the vaseline' and Kate taps her bottom.

  82. P.... M....

    AMORE è A Te dedicata cara Salomè 💕💕💞💖❤️❤️💋

  83. �.... �....

    שיר ממש יפה

  84. V.... B....

    I just got hooked on this song since it was released on my birthday !! :) March 9 :) honestly, nothing bad on her butt patting!

    It's also funny how I just scroll back to my throwback when I know Kate Bush in my 4th year high school, then I came back for this one again! :)

  85. V.... ....

    One of the greatest voices of all time.

  86. R.... S....

    Horrible video

  87. J.... S....

    She's singing about anal sex and lubricant mmm

  88. P.... H....

    Kate is unquestionably the best artist the uk has ever produced. Never mind best female.

  89. H.... W....

    We all alone on the stage....

  90. S.... B....

    So willfully, so peacefully do I succumb to this beautiful witch's curse at 0:38.

  91. B.... ....

    Beautiful and scary at same time with crazy eyes

  92. W.... W....

    Nobody else comes close!!

  93. �.... A....
