WUTHERING HEIGHTS By Kate Bush


Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me?
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too

Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

(Chorus) Heathcliff, its me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window

Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine alot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering,
Wuthering Heights

(Chorus)
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
(Chorus)



The other day I was browsing youtube.come and I came across this song.... Yes She has a very irritating voice- but I was more concerned with the lyrics. I find it interesting in this song that Kate begins by saying that Cathy needed to "possess" Heathcliff, and then towards the end, refers to him as Cathy's "only master." I believe is only helps confirm Catherine's statement "he’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

It is true passion that causes Catherine to say these things. In my opinion, Catherine and Heathcliff crave total unity. The seperation kills them.

While Catherine's heart is in the right place, Heathcliff cannot seem to fathom why she does certain things, like marry Edgar. She saw a way to free the man she loved, and all he saw was his Catherine in the arms of another man. So he deliberately tries to hurt Catherine. He persues Isabella in an attempt to get back at Catherine for marrying Edgar. He is angry and she is jealous.

In all honesty, I find Heathcliff to be the true protagonist of this novel. Were it not for his stubborn attributes and brutal cruelty, then I believe he and Catherine might have truly been happy together. But his unforgiving nature and spiteful ways cause nothing but grief for the love struck duo till the bitter end.
