If I only could, I'd make a deal with god

Work... 
I'm so tired...
I've eitther biked or walked everywhere for the past few days...
the weather is getting worse...
My rice turned out too salty...
I'm going to enjoy my soft bed...
-_-


Now to more important things, today's post!  I thought that I'd talk about the song I chose for day 19, "Running up that hill" by Kate Bush. (yes I am Canadian and it IS spelt favourite)

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, 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.
Say, 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 who love?
Tell me we both matter don't we?

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who 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 who won't be unhappy.

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin'
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...

Say 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...

Say 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...

Say, If I only could...
Oh...
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

If only I could,
Be running up that hill...


There are many ways to interpret this song, going as far from simply relationship issues to female orgasms(?!?!?!?!).  Look here to see all the different point of views.  They are all good and most are well defended.  I like one from another site about the relationship issues where Kate wants to switch places with her partner so he can understand how he is hurting her (not the revenge one).  I also agree with the one featuring Kate being dead and her partner suffering to the loss of his loved one (from the first site given).  I think that there isn't one simple meaning to this song because of it's depth.  Shallow songs are easily explained, others are deep, vast and complex.


I hope that you like the song!
