"Moments Of Pleasure"


The Red Shoes
 Written by Kate Bush 



Cover of CD single






 Some moments that I've had


 Some moments of pleasure






 I think about us lying


 Lying on a beach somewhere


 I think about us diving


 Diving off a rock, into another moment






 The case of George the Wipe


 Oh God I can't stop laughing


 This sense of humour of mine


 It isn't funny at all


 Oh but we sit up all night


 Talking about it






    Just being alive


    It can really hurt


    And these moments given


    Are a gift from time






 On a balcony in New York


 It's just started to snow


 He meets us at the lift


 Like Douglas Fairbanks


 Waving his walking stick


 But he isn't well at all


 The buildings of New York


 Look just like mountains through the snow






    Just being alive


    It can really hurt


    And these moments given


    Are a gift from time


    Just let us try


    To give these moments back


    To those we love


    To those who will survive






 And I can hear my mother saying


 "Every old sock meets an old shoe"


 Isn't that a great saying?


 "Every old sock meets an old shoe"


 Here come the Hills of Time






 Hey there Maureen,






 Hey there Bubba,


 Dancing down the aisle of a plane,






 'S Murph, playing his guitar refrain,






 Hey there Teddy,


 Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road,






 Hey there Michael,


 Do you really love me?






 Hey there Bill,


 Could you turn the lights up?
