Текст песни Act Two - Astronomer's Call (Spoken Monologue / Live) - Kate Bush , Kevin Doyle

Hello?
Yes, hello?
Am I through to the coastguard?
Over
Yes, look, um...
I'm calling because, er, well...
I'm out observing the meteor shower tonight, I'm on, erm, Church Rock, and...
I've just received a rather...
Well, erm, actually it's extremely alarming, erm, message
It was very faint and, erm, staticy.
I think he said that his ship's name is "
Celtic Deep" and that he was sinking.
Er - fast
Well, no - er, yes he did!
He gave, er, some co-ordinates, yes, he did.
Er, he gave, erm, a...
7...
A 9...
But the, er, the signal was breaking up and, I tried to reply, you know, to tell him, er, that I could hear him, but, er, there was just dead air
Yeah, just now - two or three minutes ago just before I called you the transmission...
Died
Well hasn't anyone else reported it?
Have you not heard anything about it?
My name?
Wha-wha-er, sorry - what's my name got to do with anything?
Oh, come on!
Come on!
If a man says "
Our ship is going down" isn't that enough?!
Oh, to Hell with your protocol!
There's a ship out there, in real trouble.
It'll be dark soon...
Look...
I need to know that you're going to do something, please
Well, I don't know!
You're the coastguard for fu- tut
I think these people are depending on me.
I'm the only one who heard them.
Please.
Do you understand?
Hello?
Hello?!
Can you hear me?
Over?!
