This Woman's Working Again


What you see below are lyrics to a new Kate Bush song that will be on the new Kate Bush album. The album, Aerial, will be released on November 7th. Kate's new single KING OF THE MOUNTAIN is out on October 24th.

She said: "I'm so pleased with everyone's work on this record. There are some lovely performances and I hope you will all feel it's been worth the wait. Bertie (Her son, Bertie, now seven, provided the drawing of a king on a mountain for the sleeve of her new single.) keeps me very busy, he is so much fun".

KCRW out of L.A. will be playing it at some point today. You can go through their podcasts and real audio to listen. The track was played for the first time on BBC Radio 2 on 21st September 2005, and was made available for download as of 27 September.

King of the Mountain

Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming and weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb right over the top?
Why does a multi-millionaire
Fill up his home with priceless junk?

The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house

Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain

Another Hollywood waitress
Is telling us she's having your baby
And there's a rumour that you're on ice
And you will rise again someday
And that there's a photograph
Where you're dancing on your grave

The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house

Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain

The wind it blows
The wind it blows the door closed
