Chris De Burgh – Borderline Lyrics 7 years ago
By Chris' own explanation, this is a song about a conscientious objector attempting to escape with his lover rather than face being drafted and made to fight. The story continues in a happy future in the song 'Say Goodbye to it All' on 1986's Intro the Light album.

Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill Lyrics 14 years ago
There's a new version by Will Young from the "Dermot O'Leary Show". Really lovely, poignant interpetation.
My take on this has always been that the narrator (Kate/Will etc) desperately wants to help her/his lover through a difficuly time situation (the hill) and would gladly swap places with them to take their load. It's not about God- that's just an expression.
