From the #1 charting UK album Never for Ever by Kate Bush
Fondly called by Kate as "my little symphony."
Enjoy- it is possibly one of the most original songs ever written about nuclear
war. Highly recommended.

Breathing the fall-out in,
DmFBbBb/CDm
Out in, out in, out in, out in.
We've lost our chance.
We're the first and the last, ooh,
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.
I love my
Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.
You and me
Knew life itself is
Breathing,
("Out, in, out, in, out...")
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out...
("Out!")
