Horizon 03:18
I´ve built this place, but it won´t last forever Ruined with the next upcoming storm Then I´ll forget and put remains together Until another sign Darkens up my mind I would walk on the horizon turning to red... Can´t you see a new sun rising? Time to regret.... I would walk on the horizon turning to black.... Can´t you see a new moon rising? Time to forget.... I´m standing lost at the edge of wasteland Blind patterns of the past are going round But though the grief and suffering I am facing.... Destined to go on. I´ll repeat myself once more.... I would walk on the horizon turning to red... Can´t you see a new sun rising? Time to regret.... I would walk on the horizon turning to black.... Can´t you see a new moon rising? Time to forget... Create, Caress, Destroy! Love can´t be your joy! Regret, Forget, Repeat! What an awful deed! Create, Caress, Destroy! But that´s what you are cursed with.... I would walk on the horizon turning to red... Can´t you see a new sun rising? Time to regret.... I would walk on the horizon turning to black.... Can´t you see a new moon rising? Time to forget... Turns to red my regret, turns to black you are dead

Beverly 03:06
Beverly is a strange little girl Who finds herself in howling Beverly cannot find her toy, She cries out loud for mommy When Beverly grows from head to her toes She finds some new destinations When Beverly grows she turns up her nose Will it bring her to sensation? Beverly is a strange little girl, who finds herself in hunting Beverly lives in her own world, where bills are paid by others When Beverly grows from head to her toes… All I can feel is misgiving What do you do with your life? All I can feel is misgiving What do you do with your life? Oh, Beverly…is a strange little girl… Poor Beverly… Oh Beverly…

Open Wide 03:54
Please, let me go home today A shadow figure´s blocking up my way „Come inside“, lady in the robe leads me to the door „open wide“ All the pretty nurses´re lying dead A looney doctor´s crawling up ahead In his hands: scary metal things, giant dental drills Open wide, open wide!! Open wide, open wide!! Oh, I cannot take it anymore Savage noises coming from the floor I´m tied up hard, to the dentist chair, locked up in the cell Open wide, open wide! Just open wide! Open wide!! Lala la lala! And now where we´ve come to? Don´t need a toothbrush now! Dentis pro ludibrium! Come on now kiddie, just open your goddamn mouth! In this scary nightmare of my own I am left to suffer til the dawn Safe and sound - finally I wake up, whispering aloud - "open wide , open wide..."

Music & Lyrics by Kate Bush (Original track on Kate Bush "Hounds of Love" (c) 1985) She knows that I've been doing something wrong, But she won't say anything. She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday, But she won't mind me lying, Because Mother stands for comfort. Mother will hide the murderer. It breaks the cage, and fear escapes and takes possession, Just like a crowd rioting inside. Am I the cat that takes the bird? To her the hunted, not the hunter. Mother stands for comfort. Mother will hide the murderer. Mother hides the madman. Mother will stay mum. Mother will hide the murderer. Mother will stay mum.
