I was aware of both of these but I wonder about their source.  _Not
This Time_ is actually wrong in _Kate Bush Complete_ so it may be that
they got that from there.  "Funny" rather than "funky" sounds like a 
typical wrong translation.  It would be interesting to see the lyrics 
from Ken as written in the Japanese boxed set.   Can somebody post
them?
