The Song of Solomon Lyrics

Cover art for The Song of Solomon lyrics by Kate Bush

In the beginning, Kate wore a seductive leotard and sang with sexual intensity in the warm room... (Solitary) Fans regarded her as a sex symbol and the Record Industry demanded repeat performances... Then came THE DREAMING...

I think TSOS is about her relationship with the Music Industry/Media/Fans, etc. who regarded her as a 'Shulammite' sex symbol... She satisfied their 'Song of Solomon' ... The Record Industry/Fans didn't want the dreaming 'bullshit'; they just wanted the 'sexuality,' the 'poetry in motion' ... and of course this woman's singing can take any line and sign it with a kiss! ... "Don't want your bullshit, yeah...

Just want your sexuality" ... So this song of solomon gives exactly that... "I'll do it for you... I'll come in a hurricane for you" ...

This SOS 'plays' any sexual fantasy role you-the-fan want it to, to please YOU! ... But behind the veneer lies a vulnerable and exploited "wop bam boom," sick of FANtasy love... tired of this bullshit and crying out for the genuine rapturous and spiritual comfort of The Song Of Solomon!

I had no clue before reading this convincing interpretation. You might as well be Kate herself.
