Lyrics

Ooh, he's a moody old man

The song was inspired by Ken Russell's film Song of Summer, made for the BBC's programme Omnibus, which Kate had watched when she was ten years old. In his twenties, Delius contracted syphilis. When he became wheelchair bound as he became older, a young English admirer Eric Fenby volunteered his services as unpaid amanuensis. Between 1928 and 1933 he took down his compositions from dictation, and helping him revise earlier works. "'Delius' is a tribute to an extraordinary man both in body and spirit." (Kate Bush Club newsletter, September 1980) View wiki
