Sensual World
As Picasso said, to the effect, everyone copies but the great steal. So I was interested to find that one of my favourite Kate Bush songs was written by James Joyce, altho, probably luckily for Kate, his descendants self importance meant she had to rewrite it.
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.
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 Machiavellan 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.
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 rescued 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.
