Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush Cover)

Placebo · Other Songs - Placebo

It doesn't hurt me.

You wanna feel how it feels?

You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?

You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?

You *be running up that hill*

You and me *be running up that hill*



And if I only could,

Make a deal with God,

And 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 don't want to hurt me,

But see how deep the bullet lies.

Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.

There is thunder in our hearts, baby.

So much hate for the ones we love?

Tell me, we both matter, don't we?



You, *be running up that hill*

You and me, *be running up that hill*

You and me won't be unhappy.



And if I only could,

Make a deal with God,

And 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...



'C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,

Let me steal this moment from you now.

C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,

Let's exchange the experience, oh...'



And if I only could,

Make a deal with God,

And get him to swap our places,

Be running up that road,

Be running up that hill,

With no problems. x2



'If I only could, be running up that hill.' x7

Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush Cover)

Placebo's rendition of Kate Bush's iconic track reimagines the original with their signature post-punk intensity, blending Bush's melodic sensibility with the band's signature wall of sound. While the original remains a defining anthem of the 1980s, Placebo's version infuses the song with their characteristic emotional depth and driving rhythm, creating a distinct sonic landscape that honors the source material while asserting their own artistic identity. This recording stands as a testament to the song's enduring power and the band's ability to reinterpret classic material through their unique lens, bridging generational gaps in rock history.
