Annotationen
Kate Bush lehnte die Lyrics dieses Songs eng an Molly Blooms erotischem «stream of consciousness» beim Einschlafen am Ende des «Ulysses» von James Joyce
an. Sie erhielt damals die Rechte nicht, den Text zu zitieren. Auf Director's Cut gibt es eine Version des Songs mit dem Titel «Flower of the Mountain», die den Joyce-Text verwendet. Die Musik ist von einem Makedonsichen Brauttanz («Nevestinsko Oro») inspiriert.

Lyrics
Mmh, yes, then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake Back from his mouth, going deep South, go down, mmh, yes Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes He said, "I was a flower of the mountain, yes But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes" [Pre-Chorus] Stepping out of the page into the sensual world Stepping out To where the water and the earth caress And the down of a peach says, "Mmh, yes" Do I look for those millionaires like a Machiavellian girl would When I could wear a sunset, mmh, yes And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world You don't need words, just one kiss, then another [Chorus] Stepping out of the page into the sensual world Stepping out off the page into the sensual world And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes And then he whispered, "Would I, mmh, yes" Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts He'd rescue it, mmh, yes And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes I said, "Mmh, yes", but not yet, mmh, yes Mmh, yes
