MIAMI VICE

Back in the '80s and I was Garde Manger at the Hyatt all the salad ladies would come in the morning after Miami Vice and we would talk about the show and what music they had played.
"They play rock and roll" Geraldine would say.
And sure enough Miami Vice set a style for using contemporary music in a television show.
I think it is so great to find that this grand young lady Kate Bush, at the age of 63, now has a number one hit with "Running Up That Hill" more than 40 years after the song was released due to its exposure on "Stranger Things". Perhaps someone somewhere will use "Sensual World" someday.
I thank you Miami Vice.



The Sensual World
Mmh, yes
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out
To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset? Mmh, yes
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words, just one kiss, then another
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes
I said, mmh, yes
But not yet, mmh, yes
Mmh, yes
Mmh, yes
