wuthering heights

Weekly Feature!
This is the very first week of a new weekly feature on Bronte Sisters Blog.
And what better way to start than with the original version of 'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush.
Check it out. Every week we will feature a different 'performer' doing their version of 'Wuthering Heights'. But for now, here is Kate.
To whet your appetites, here is the first verse which you will need as Kate is unintelligible

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
You told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.
