About Babooshka
According to Kate Bush, in an interview with Austrailian TV series 'Countdown', this song chronicles a wife's desire to test her husband's loyalty. To do so, she takes on the nom de plume of Babooshka and sends notes to her husband in the guise of a younger woman – something which she fears is the opposite of how her husband currently sees her. The trap is set when, in her bitterness and paranoia, Babooshka arranges to meet her husband, who is attracted to the character that reminds him of his wife in earlier times. .
Babooshka Lyrics
[00:01.15] (Babooshka)
[00:03.89]
[00:15.22] She wanted to test her husband
[00:21.00] She knew exactly what to do
[00:24.05] A pseudonym
[00:26.31] To fool him
[00:27.67] She couldn't have made a worst move
[00:32.01] She sent him scented letters
[00:34.66] And he received them with a strange delight
[00:38.78] Just like
[00:39.99] His wife
[00:41.07] But how she was before the tears
[00:44.40] And how she was before the years flew by
[00:49.83] And how she was when she was beautiful
[00:54.31] She signed the letter
[00:56.81] All yours
[00:58.58] Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
[01:03.10] All yours
[01:05.45] Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
[01:09.65] (Babooshka)
[01:13.00]
[01:17.45] She wanted to take it further
[01:19.55] So she arranged a place to go
[01:23.08] To see
[01:24.62] If he
[01:25.72] Would fall for her incognito
[01:30.43] And when he laid eyes on her
[01:33.58] He got the feeling they had met before
[01:37.03] Uncanny
[01:38.20] How she
[01:39.22] Reminds him of his little lady
[01:43.53] Capacity to give him all he needs
[01:47.88] Just like his wife before she freezed on him
[01:52.57] Just like his wife when she was beautiful
[01:56.65] He shouted out
[01:58.99] I'm all yours
[02:01.03] Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
[02:05.27] All yours
[02:07.76] Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ja, ja
[02:11.85] All yours
