Kate Bush - Hammer Horror

You stood in the belltower,
But now you`re gone.
So who knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?

They`ve got the stars for the gallant hearts.
I`m the replacement for your part.
But all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
I don`t know,
Is this the right thing to do?

Rehearsing in your things,
I feel guilty.
And retracing all the scenes,
Of your big hit,
Oh, God, you needed the leading role.
It wasn`t me who made you go, though.
Now all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
I don`t know,
Is this the right thing to do?

Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you`re gone.

I`ve got a hunch that you`re following,
To get your own back on me.
So all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I leave the lights on
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
I don`t know,
Is this the right thing to do?
[This song is also known in an early demo version, perhaps dating from between 1973 and 1976, which features a few alternate lines:]


Who stands in the belltower,
Now you`re gone.
And who knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?

You knew the girls and the times,
You knew the rides and the rhymes.
Now they`re trying to push me into your name.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
The first time in my life,
The first break of my life,
I`m letting go. [uncertain]
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
Oh no,
It`s not the right thing to do!

Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you`re gone.

You know my mind and my heart.
So you should know I wouldn`t take your part.
All I want to do is forget
You, friend.

Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
The first time in my life,
The first break of my life,
I`m letting go. [uncertain]
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won`t leave it alone.
Oh no,
It`s not the right thing to do!
