| | Running up that hill Lyrics Artist(Band):Kate Bush
Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me? Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? You, It's you and me. And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, Be running up that building. Say, If I only could, oh... You don't want to hurt me, But see how deep the bullet lies. Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder. Ooh, There is thunder in our hearts. Is there so much hate for the ones who love? Tell me we both matter don't we? You, It's you and me, It's you and me who won't be unhappy. And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, Be running up that building. Say, If I only could, oh... You, It's you and me, It's you and me who won't be unhappy. Come on baby, come on darling Let me steal this moment from you now Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin' Let's exchange the experience oh... And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, With no problems... Say if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, With no problems... Say if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, With no problems... Say, If I only could... Oh... Be running up that hill, With no problems... If only I could, Be running up that hill... If you find some error in Running up that hill Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Running up that hill what if we were able to see what our lover sees? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/16/09 I heard this song before by Kate Bush but never paid attention to it, but once I heard the Placebo cover I fell in love with the lyrics and then went back and LISTENED to the Kate Bush version and I got to say I love her version a little bit more because it has a sense of sadness and optomisim about it, unlike the placebo version which is filled with pessimism,doom, and inevitable failure. Both songs are amazing in my opinon because of the central theme of two lovers switching places to see what the other sees! If I only could... | Reviewer: Jessica | 9/13/09 I love this song. It's so insperational and powerful and raw... I'm agnostic so this doesn't neccesarily have a conection to God for me. But this song saddens me every time I hear it, to me it signifies the struggles we all face during our lives, be it with a lover, family or just life itself. I, personally love the Placebo version, it's much more deep and meaningful. Meaning | Reviewer: Ron | 4/25/09 In my opinion it is pure poetry so you have the "intended" meaning or what it means to the author and what it say to the individual reader. Life and relationships are an intricate dance and sometimes we lose those we love and/or ourselves and we find ourselves searching. Running up the hill infers that we have to struggle or over come resistance to carve out that space where we can love. Check out the video on youtube. In addition to being an amazing song writer she is a wonderful performer and it will give further meaning. Most of all enjoy the work (the music, the dance, the story, the beauty) because it is an angelic gift... Understanding | Reviewer: Torn | 4/15/09 Last year, my first love got in contact with me on MySpace, and even though I am married, we still have very strong feelings for each other. I knew she got in touch with me because she felt bad about how things had ended between us and wanted us to be together again. And so did I, but I am in this committed relationship. And over the last year, even though we've kept things on a friendship level, I have fallen in love all over again with who she has become today. So I asked her if we could meet, because I had to know if this was reality or just a fantasy. And last weekend, we saw each other for the first time in 10 years, and though we didn't have sex (we don't believe in affairs), it was very intense seeing her again. It confirmed to me that this was no fantasy. I told her about my feelings, and that she is my soulmate, and that I think I need to divorce my wife and build a relationship with her again, but I knew she couldn't say anything about it because what would that make her? A homewrecker? Before I left, she copied a few songs onto my ipod to listen to on the drive home (she lives 2 hours away) and this song was the last one she put on there... I'm still trying to figure out what she meant by it, because sometimes we just hear what we want to hear and see what we want to see. Kate's intended meaning behind this song often misinterpreted | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/30/09 The song itself has often been misinterpreted. Kate Bush herself has said, "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it wouldn't be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had 'God' in the title. covenant and sacrafice | Reviewer: illya | 1/16/09 once again the lyrical author can't help but sing of the spiritual plane (some call this "magical"). Don't think this is a religous song? The three characters of the lyrics are, the first person (Kate), God and Angel. "A deal with God" to me that's called a covenant. "get him to swap our places" i think refers to the long established method of gaining salvation through the means of substituting a sacrafice, be it plant, animal or human. "And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, With no problems..." - the road to the City of God, New Jerusalem, once there there will be no more problems for the one who makes it home. Keep running up that hill is sooo calm to me | Reviewer: Elizabeth | 4/2/08 I heard this for the first time on the show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation... it was the episode A La Cart. You-know-the scene.. Anyways, It it a powerful chord in me, and I've been attached to it since.. It makes me think of calmness, and well, yeah. Well, especially the one from Placebo, which Kate Bush did. after two decades | Reviewer: boricuaheels@yahoo | 10/3/07 I hadn't heard this beautiful song since I was about thirteen years old when it was played on channel U68. Didn't know the words, but I Never forgot it. I've been talking with God ever since. Big inspiration to my own music; helps me believe that someone else will understand, listen and appreciate. Keep running. Fabulous! | Reviewer: Arian | 7/9/07 This is a great song by an amazing entertainer. If you haven't heard it, give yourself a gift and do so. Hounds of Love is the name of the CD. Yes get the CD! Every song on it is magical.
