One of my favorite KB songs. Brings me to tears and omg David Gilmour's guitar playing in this song-perfection!

[@D...Charger]

mine too..

Yet to hear it, after twenty years, without crying... Just saw the Kate Bush Documentary and first wondered... and then figured that The Man With The Child in his Eyes is about David Gilmour, as he seems to brush away a tear when he speaks of the song, which he apparently heard her play and sing when she was 16 y.o.

You take the words right out of my mouth: AMAZING song!! Yep, tears....this song makes the energy in my body flow again.... ⚡️💗⚡️

Man With The Child In His Eyes is not about David Gilmour. Kate wrote the song when she was around 13 years old (before she even met Gilmour). It's about her first boyfriend

Ya know, I'm not crazy about all her stuff but sometimes an artist hits the bullseye blindfolded and it is as great as they come... I mean who cares that the lyrics started as a homage to a cute kitty when the vocals, arrangement, players and production are this good, and all with the same aim? I've read so much into the words (as in all great R&R) simply because of the SOUNDS coming at me.The integration of the beautiful and downright haunting Bulgarian singers was a risky proposition that brought out unseen possibilities in the context of a rocksong as their chanting towards the end of the rhythm sections giant assault of that fine riff progression was downright surprising/ scary the 1st time I heard it!David Gilmours icing on the cake solo is nicely underplayed as we have come to expect.Rarely discussed, this is one of my top 3 K.B. songs and I'm at a loss right now to debate the other 2.

Gilmour = Boss of any situation. His mood is the room's mood.

Dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge... Size 5 lightning boots too..

[@chrisgillard6129]

Great work ;Thank you. But I have a problem; and hopefully someone can sort it out. I need the lyrics as to what the F is going on. I feel the same way with Jagger and all the rest. How about some lyric sheets. So that drunken idiots like me can understand. Thanx and have a nice day. P.S. Kate; you have done well and thank you.

[@mvellis3863]

Just Google the lyrics! As to the meaning behind it, the title came from Kate's cat named Rocket. In her words: "Rocket is one of my cats, and he was the inspiration for the subject matter for the song, because he's dead cute [laughs]. And it's very strange subject matter because the song isn't exactly about Rocket, it's kind of inspired by him and for him, but the song, it's about anything. I guess it's saying there's nothing wrong with being right here at this moment, and just enjoying this moment to its absolute fullest, and if that's it, that's ok, you know. And it's kind of using the idea of a rocket that's so exciting for maybe 3 seconds and then it's gone, you know that's it, but so what, it had 3 seconds of absolutely wonderful... [laughs] (Roger Scott, BBC Radio 1 (UK), 14 October 1989)"
