Kate performs "Violin" on the 1979 Christmas special.

Lyrics:

Four strings across the bridge,

Ready to carry me over,

Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,

Out of the realm of the orchestra,

Out of the realm of the orchestra.

Filling me up with the shivers.

Filling me up with the shivers and quivers.

Filling me up with the shivers.

Get the bow going!

Let it scream to me:

Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!

Let it scream to me:

Violin! Violin! Violin!

Paganini up on the chimney,

Lord of the dance,

With Nero and old Nicky.

Whack that devil

Into my fiddlestick!

Give me the Banshees for B.V.s,

Give me the Banshees for B.V.s.

Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.

Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee.

Jigging along with the fiddle, oh, Johnny.

Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

Get the bow going!

Let it scream to me:

Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!

Let it scream to me:

Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!

Let it scream to me:

Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!

Let it scream to me:

Violin! Violin! Violin!

Still feel it's a shame she didn't get a fiddle player to play the break. Instead of an electric guitar.But gotta love Kate for creating a song which expresses a love for the violin. :-)And now...off to listen to Stuart Duncan for a bit. Fellow fiddle lovers, check him out!.;-)

The version of this on Kate's Live At The Hammersmith Odeon dvd featues a FANTASTIC guitar solo by the late Alan Murphy. Absolute CLASS.

I saw her do this live in 79 on her only tour. It was a great gig but I think if this had been her first single, and we hadn't been introduced to her via Wuthering Heights, she'd have disappeared without trace.
