...THEM HEAVY PEOPLE... by Kate Bush
-----------------------.............
*from 'The Kick Inside' (1978)*
*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: G#)
Intro:
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball,
Rolling the ball, to me.
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball,
Rolling the ball, to me.
Verse 1:
They arrived at an incon-venient time;
I was hiding in a room in my mind.
They made me look at my-self; I saw it well.
I'd shut the people out of my life.
Verse 2:
So now I take the oppor-tunities;
Wonderful teachers, ready to teach me.
I must work on my mind, for now I realise;
Every-one of us, has a Heaven inside.
Chorus 1:
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot,
Them heavy people, help me.
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
Bridge 1:
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball,
Rolling the ball, to me.
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball,
Rolling the ball, to me.
Verse 3:
They open doorways, that I thought were shut for good.
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu.
They build up my body; break me e-motionally.
It's nearly killing me; but what a lovely feeling!
Verse 4:
I love the whirling of the dervishes,
I love the beauty or rare innocence.
You don't need no crystal ball;
Don't fall for a magic wand.
We humans got it all; we perform the miracles.
Chorus 2:
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot,
Them heavy people, help me.
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
Coda:
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the...
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot,
Them heavy people, help me.
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the...
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot,
Them heavy people, help me.
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
