The Fog Lyrics

You see, I'm all grown-up now
He said
"Just put your feet down child
'Cause you're all grown-up now."
Just like a photograph I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up
But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into The Fog

This love was big enough for the both of us.
This love of yours,
Was big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark like the water was
The day I learned to swim.
He said "Just put your feet down child
Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."

Is this love big enough to watch over me
Big enough to let go of me?
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim.
"'Cause you're all grown-up now
Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high.
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."

The Fog

Featuring classical violinist Nigel Kennedy and some seagull imitations, this song is about trying to grow up. "Growing up for most people is just trying to stop escaping, looking at things inside yourself rather than outside," Bush told NME. "But I'm not sure if people ever grow up properly, it's a continual process, growing in a positive sense."

Kate's physician father contributed the spoken word dialogue. Doctor Bush is also an accomplished pianist.

Rocket's Tail Lyrics

That Novenber night, looking up into the sky.
You said "Hey wish that was me up there
It's the biggest rocket I could find
And it's holding the night in its arms
If for only a moment.
I can't see the look in its eyes
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen
And I thought you were crazy wishing such a thing.

I saw only a stick on fire
Alone on its journey
Home to the quickening ground
With no one there to catch it.

I put on my pointed hat
And my black and silver suit
And I check my gunpowder pack
And I strap the stick on my back
And dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge
Nobody seemed to see me
Then with the fuse in my hand
And now shooting into the night
And still as a rocket
I land in the river.

Was it me said you were crazy?
I put on my cloudiest suit
Size 5 lightening boots too
'Coz I am a rocket
On fire
Look at me go with my tail on fire
With my tail on fire
On fire
Hey, look at me go, look at me

Rocket's Tail

This song features backing vocals by Trio Bulgarka, a traditional Bulgarian vocal ensemble that appears throughout The Sensual World. "Rocket's actually my cat, but it was written for the Bulgarian girls," Bush explained to NME. "Ridiculous collection of images, nothing to do with Rocket really, he just started it all off. At the time the only song I could think of that mentioned rockets was 'Rocket Man' but since then there has been about three of them. I feel a bit like the Python sketch with that guy making eight-millimetre films saying 'Hitchcock had his Rear Window out while mine was still at the chemists'."

Bush actually recorded "Rocket Man" a couple of years later for the tribute album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin. Her reggae-inflected cover was a commercial success, peaking at #12 on the UK singles chart. In 2007 it won The Observer readers' award for Greatest Cover of all time.

The song features guitar by Bush's early music mentor, Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour.

This Woman's Work Lyrics

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside This Woman's Work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you've got a little life in you yet.
I know you've got a lot of strength left.
I know you've got a little life in you yet.
I know you've got a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it go.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it go
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That we never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

This Woman's Work

Bush wrote this for a sequence in the movie She's Having A Baby where a man is waiting helplessly in a hospital while his wife gives birth in the next room. She wrote it from the man's point of view.

A cover by the R&B American artist Maxwell was released as a single in 2001, peaking at #56 on the Hot 100.

Bush told the NME: "It was written for John Hughes' film She's Having A Baby. Really light comedy about this young guy who gets married, very much a kid. His wife is pregnant and it's alright until they get to the hospital and the baby's in the breach position.

That's the sequence I have to write the songs about and it's really very moving, him in the waiting room, having flashbacks of his wife and him going for walks, decoration... It's exploring his sadness and guilt, suddenly it's the point where he has to grow up. He'd been such a wally up to this point."

Bush re-recorded the song for her 2011 album, Director's Cut, in which she updated a selection of tracks from The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.

The song returned to the UK singles chart at #63 in April 2012 after contestant Hope Murphy performed it on Britain's Got Talent. Maxwell's cover also entered the top 75 for the first time when it reached #41 the same week.
