"All We Ever Look For"


Never for Ever
 Written by Kate Bush 







 Just look at your father


 And you'll see how you took after him.


 Me, I'm just another


 Like my brothers


 Of my mother's genes.






      All they ever want for you


      Are the things they didn't do.


      All they ever wanted--a little clue.


      All they ever wanted--the truth.


      All they ever wanted--a little bit of you.


      All they ever wanted,


      But they never did get.






 The whims that we're weeping for


 Our parents would be beaten for


 Leave the breast


 And then the rest


 And then regret you ever left.






      All we're ever looking for


      Is another open door.


      All we ever look for--another womb.


      All we ever look for--our own tomb.


      All we ever look for--ooh, la lune.


      All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too.


      All we ever look for,


      But we never do score.






      All we ever look for--a god.


      All we ever look for--ooh, a drug.


      All we ever look for--a great big hug.


      All we ever look for--a little bit of you.


      All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too.


      All we ever look for,


      But we never do score.
