Breathing - Kate Bush

Outside gets inside

Through her skin

I've been out before

but this time it's much safer in

Last night

In the sky

Such a bright light

My radar send me danger

But my instincts tell me to

Keep breathing

Breathing

Breathing my mother in

Breathing my beloved in

Breathing

Breathing her nicotine

Breathing

Breathing the fall

Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in

We've lost our chance

We're the first and last

After the blast

Chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung

I love my beloved

All and everywhere

Only the fools blew it

You and me knew life itself

Is breathing

Breathing

Breathing my mother in

Breathing my beloved in

Breathing

Breathing her nicotine

Breathing

Breathing the fall

Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in, out

In point of fact it is possible to tell the

difference between a small nuclear explosion and

a large one by a very simple method. The calling

card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that

is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter

even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration

of this flash that we are able to determine the size

(What are we going to do without?)

of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be

seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust

and living things around the area of the explosion,

and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable

as the familiar mushroom cloud. As a demonstration

of the flash duration test let's try and count the

number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very

small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized

bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful,

high-yield bombs.

What are we going to do without

Ooh, please, let me breathe

Quick, breathe in deep

Leave us something to breathe

Ooh, life is
