Lionheart is the second album by the British singer Kate Bush. It was released in late 1978, just nine months after Bush's successful debut album The Kick Inside. Lionheart reached no.6 on the UK album chart (her only album not to make the top 5) and has been certified Platinum by the BPI. The first single taken from the album, "Hammer Horror", missed the UK Top 40. However, the follow-up single, "Wow", was released on the back of Bush's UK tour and became a UK Top 20 hit. The song (and its video) became the target of parodies by impressionist Faith Brown, and comedienne Pamela Stephenson (on the British TV programme Not the Nine O'Clock News). Lionheart was rushed out of the studio (in Nice on the French Riviera), making this Bush's only album to be wholly recorded outside the UK. The album was produced by Andrew Powell, assisted by Bush herself.
The album takes its title from the track, "Oh, England, My Lionheart", which tells of a pilot who has been shot down contemplating his homeland as his plane hurtles towards the ground, and to his death. Literary references include J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan in "In Search of Peter Pan" (a song which also quotes "When You Wish Upon A Star" from the classic Disney film Pinocchio), as well as a nod towards Arsenic and Old Lace in the song "Coffee Homeground", which despite being similar in plot to the play, was inspired by a taxi driver who drove Bush once. Film references include "Hammer Horror", inspired by the Hammer Film studio, known for their gothic horror films. The British television show The Sweeney, a popular police drama from the 1970s, was mentioned in the lyrics of the song "Wow". "Kashka From Baghdad" is notable for its sympathetic and frank portrayal of a gay couple who are estranged from family and friends. Lionheart was the first Kate Bush album to feature Del Palmer, who played bass. Palmer went on to play bass, or to engineer and record on every subsequent Kate Bush album up to and including 50 Words for Snow (2011).
