if i only could, i'd be running up that hill
if i only could, i'd be running up that hill

it doesn't hurt me
do you want to feel how it feels?
do you want to 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
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 we love?
tell me, we both matter, don't we
you, it's you and me
it's you and me 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 won't be unhappy

c'mon, baby, c'mon darling
let me steal this moment from you now
c'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
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

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

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

if i only could
be running up that hill
with no problems

if i only could, i'd be running up that hill
if i only could, i'd be running up that hill

"I'm playing some songs I kinda just felt like playing today...um, Kate Bush has always been somebody that uh, has been a frontrunner in music. Um, I've loved so much of what she's done. One of my favorite albums is "Hounds of Love", this comes of this album, Running Up That Hill
-- Tori; "What the Hell is this?" on WFNX, 12/13/98

"You hear immediately whether someone has composed in that way or if they�ve just used another song as a model and tried to write it again. Prince, for example, is somebody who constantly comes out with completely new songs. Even when he uses no chord progression at all, but just one single chord that seems to not move from the spot, he brings so much out of it! It doesn�t matter how many chords you can bring into a song, but rather it depends on what you make out of every single chord. One of the best songs of this kind that I�ve heard in the past few years and that has absolutely no predecessor is Running Up That Hill [by Kate Bush]."
