Deeper Understanding, by Kate Bush (from The Sensual World)

[moonwise]

As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend.
I was loading a new program
I had ordered from a magazine:

"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must."

I press Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

Well I've never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.
I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened.

But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.

I pick up the phone and go, Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

Hello.
Love.
Hello.
Love and deeper understanding.

I turn to my computer like a friend.

[A chant]
"Hello"
"Hello"

I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.

I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to lose you
