"Blow Away - (For Bill)*"

Never for Ever
Written by Kate Bush

One of the band told me last night

That music is all that he's got in his life.

So where does it go?

Surely not with his soul.

Will all of his licks and his R'n'B

Blow away?

Blow away

Blow away

Our engineer had a different idea

From people who nearly died but survived,

Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,

And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.

Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.

Please don't thump me,

Don't bump me,

Don't dump me back there.

Please don't thump me,

Don't bump me,

I want to stay here.

Put out the light, then, put out the light.

Vibes in the sky invite you to dine.**

Dust to dust,

Blow to blow.

Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.

Hello Minnie, Moony, ("Bill " [?]), Vicious, Vicious,

Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.

Please don't thump me,

Don't bump me,

Don't dump me back there.

Please don't thump me,

Don't bump me,

I want to stay here.

[*--"For Bill": Bill Duffield, Kate's lighting engineer, who died in a
stage accident just prior to the launch of the Tour of Life.]

[**--"Vibes in the sky invite you to dine": In the book Kate Bush
