Kate Bush

  Get Out of My House



    When you left, the door was
        (slamming!)
    You paused in the doorway
    As though a thought stole you away.
    I watch the world pull you away.
        (Lock it!)

    So I run into the hall,
        (Lock it!)
    Into the corridor.
    There's a door in the house
        (slamming).
    I hear the lift descending.
    I hear it hit the landing,
    See the hackles on the cat
        (standing).

    With my key I
        (lock it).
    With my key I
        (lock it up).
    With my key I
        (lock it).
    With my key I
        (lock it up).

        I am the concierge chez-moi, honey.
        Won't letcha in for love, nor money.
        My home, my joy.
        I'm barred and bolted and I
            (Won't let you in).

            (Get out of my house!)
            No stranger's feet
            Will enter me.
            I wash the panes,
            I clean the stains away.
    This house is as old as I am.
    This house knows all I have done.
    They come with their weather hanging 'round them,
    But can't knock my door down!

    With my key I
        (lock it).
    With my key I
        (lock it).

    This house is full of m-m-my mess.
    This house is full of m-m-mistakes.
    This house is full of m-m-madness.
    This house is full of, full of, full of fight!

    With my keeper I
        (clean up).
    With my keeper I
        (clean it all up).
    With my keeper I
        (clean up).
    With my keeper I
        (clean it all up).

        I am the concierge chez-moi, honey.
        Won't letcha in for love, nor money.
        My home, my joy.
        I'm barred and bolted and I
            (Won't let you in).

            (Get out of my house!)
            No stranger's feet
            Will enter me.
            I wash the panes.
            I clean the stains.

    "Woman let me in!
    Let me bring in the memories!
    Woman let me in!
    Let me bring in the Devil Dreams!"

    I will not let you in!
    Don't you bring back the reveries.
    I turn into a bird,
    Carry further than the word is heard.

    "Woman let me in!
    I turn into the wind.
    I blow you a cold kiss,
    Stronger than the song's hit."

    I will not let you in.
    I face towards the wind.
    I change into the Mule.
    Hee-haw! Hee-haw!

    "Hee-haw! Hee-haw!"
