Hey, maybe I should write a book interpretting all of Kate's lyrics!
I wonder how big the market would be...  Eh, no problem -- just fill
it up with lots of sexy photos...

I have written essays on some songs: "There Goes A Tenner", "Suspended
In Gaffa", "Cloudbusting", "Jig of Life", etc., and something on the
common threads throught the album *The Dreaming*.

I've read lots of interviews with Kate and have thought about most of
her songs in a bit of detail.  I could probably give a reasonable
explanation of any of her songs.

Absolutely!  The song is based on the book *A Book of Dreams*, which
is by Peter Reich, the son of Wilhelm Reich.

I've yet to find a Kate Bush song without depth!
