英國才女巨星［凱特．布許］──新浪潮／藝術搖滾經典──［Running Up that Hill／奔上山丘］

"If I only could, Id be running up that hill.
If I only could, Id be running up that hill."

It doesnt hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesnt hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that Im making?
You, its you and me.

And if I only could,
Id make a deal with God,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh

You dont want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware Im tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, dont we?
You, its you and me.
Its you and me wont be unhappy.

And if I only could,
Id make a deal with God,
And Id 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,
Its you and me,
Its you and me wont be unhappy.

"Cmon, baby, cmon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
Cmon, angel, cmon, cmon, darling,
Lets exchange the experience, oh"

And if I only could,
Id make a deal with God,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
Id make a deal with God,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
Id make a deal with God,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems

"If I only could, Id be running up that hill.
If I only could, Id be running up that hill."

Running Up That Hill lyrics © EMI Music Publishing

１９８５年９月　已是當時英國最受歡迎本土女藝人的２８歲才女凱特．布許（Kate Bush）發行第五張個人創作／製作的專輯［Hounds of Love］

擠下剛大紅的瑪丹娜（Madonna）［Like A Virgin／宛如處女］登上后座　成為她第二張英倫冠軍

（兩週後瑪丹娜擠下凱特　又待了一週　接下來凱特又打下瑪丹娜　拿到第三週冠軍）

銷售逾６０萬張　拿到雙白金　成為布許最成功的錄音室大碟

這也是她出道後首度進入美國Top４０的專輯（＃３０　凱特始終沒打入美國市場）

大碟首支單曲是［Running Up that Hill／奔上山丘］

此曲原名［A Deal with God］

EMI公司猶豫是否要主打這首以‘上帝’為名的歌曲　擔心會得到負面反應

而想宣傳［Cloudbusting］

凱特便改名［Running Up the Hill］ 並說服公司仍舊主打此曲

此曲融合藝術搖滾與新浪潮  節奏輕快　帶有布許慣有情緒式演繹與神秘氛圍

這也是她首度發行１２吋混音的歌曲

結果此曲登上英國榜季軍　２０１２年倫敦奧運閉幕典禮原聲帶［A Symphony of British Music］收錄［Running Up the Hill］的混音版

重新發行後再度打入英國單曲榜＃６　愛爾蘭＃２２

［Running Up that Hill］也是布許最受歡迎的國際單曲之一：德國＃３　愛爾蘭＃４　澳洲／荷蘭／比利時＃６　瑞士＃１０　加拿大＃１６　奧地利＃２１　法國＃２４　紐西蘭＃２６　義大利＃３１

［Running Up that Hill］讓凱特二度打入告示榜　拿到＃３０　是她在美國最成功的單曲

另外登上舞曲播放榜＃１３　舞曲銷售榜＃２１　主流搖滾榜＃３４

MV是凱特與男武者穿著日本袴裝表演現代舞

這是凱特布許事業第二成功的單曲（最著名的是［Wuthering Heights／咆哮山莊））
