Mrs Bartolozzi Lyrics
Artist(Band):Kate Bush
I remember it was that Wednesday
Oh when it rained and it rained
They traipsed mud all over the house
It took hours and hours to scrub it out
All over the hall carpet
I took my mop and bucket
And I cleaned and I cleaned
The kitchen floor
Until it sparkled
Then I took my laundry basket
And put the linen all in it
And everything I could fit in it
And all our dirty clothes that hadn't gone into the wash
And all your shirts and jeans and things
And put them in the new washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine
I watched them go 'round and 'round
My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers
Oh the waves are going out
My skirt floating up around my waist
As I wade out into the surf
Oh and the waves are coming in
Oh and the waves are going out
Oh and you're standing right behind me
Little fish swim between my legs
Oh and the waves are coming in
Oh and the waves are going out
Oh and the waves are coming in
Out of the corner of my eye
I think I see you standing outside
But it's just your shirt
Hanging on the washing line
Waving its arm as the wind blows by
And it looks so alive
Nice and white
Just like its climbed right out
Of my washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Get that dirty shirty clean
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Make those cuffs and collars gleam
Everything clean and shiny
Washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine

Review about Mrs Bartolozzi
Love this song | Reviewer: al | 5/27/2006seemed like the stupidest lyrics Id ever heard the first few times - still dont like the piano idleing sound just before the refrain- But its stunning - better than the best of those old elton john tunes when he was still any good. I cant get it out of my head. Who is this woman in the title?? Lots of questions on the album: whats the story of the coral room? Did Katy O'Bush really just shamelessly rip-off movies like Beautiful Mind (Pi) and Joan of Arc for the crapper lyrics? (And... who is George the Wipe from Moments of Pleasure?) Despite seeming to have secretly wished to be an Irish folk musician for chunks of her musical career, this one seems like more for not trying too hard. I like the way Kate often finds intense poetry in comfortable suburban middle-class-ness, when other rock musicians can get a bit desperate to prove their 'from the streets' crediblity. Looking forward to Tumble Dryer and Dishwasher on the next album! ... but then will any of us live that long?

Yes, indeed, simply Kate | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/9/2006
That "it looks so alive" simply tears your heart out, her voice shouting those words is so intense that it just haunts you for days and days.

Simply Kate | Reviewer: madeleine Mitchell | 1/13/2006
As with most of Kate's work, upon a first listen, it seems disjointed and almost improvised. There's a sad kind of musing going on in this song, of a life loved and lost, the character continuing through need or necessity to execute the mundane chore of washing clothes, which does little to quell the sensual memories that rise up in spite of this. The emphasis of the clothes being 'so alive' implies the death of the loved one. Anybody who's ever loved and lost will empathise with this song. The melody is beautiful, simple, direct and memorable. The vocals sensual, wistful and gorgeous. Simply beautiful. Simply Kate.
