Reasons To Think The Laugh Is *Not* Part Of Love And Anger:

        * It's not part of L&A on the US CD of _TSW_.
        * It's not part of L&A on the US Promo-CD of L&A.
        * It's not part of L&A in the video.

Reasons To Think The Laugh *Is* Part Of Love And Anger:

        * Some dimwitted engineer at EMI tracked it that way on the
          British CD of _TSW_.
        * IED thinks it is.

Next Week: IED frantically searches for a CD player that can find the remix
        of Running Up That Hill on his West German copy of _HoL_; *his*
        player can't seem to find it, but EMI put it on the CD label so it
        obviously *must* be there!  After all, Kate personally checks each
        CD herself, by hand, before it leaves the factory . . .

Nonsnide Note: It's happened before; on Pet Shop Boys' last album, some
        random EMI engineer misplaced the track marks between Left To My
        Own Devices and I Want A Dog.

Back To The Snide: Does IED think the Beatles discs that ended up with
        Kate on them was some sort of secret Kateian tribute to John Lennon?

I'm going back to sleep.

After the summer holidays, I was so seduced by the call of the ocean
That I decided to shed my clothes . . . forever.
Living under clouds and surf
That seem like steam rising from a boiling cauldron.
