Somehow, I think IED is using camp psychological tricks on me to reinforce
my manners, etc... hmmm...

I don't think so.  I think people will listen to it as a P. Gaberiel song
and most people won't even know that Kate Bush is singing with him.  Over
here in America, there seems to be NO END to the sappy male-female duets
and I'm afraid the Gabriel song will fit into that category.  We can
blame Dionne and Lionel for this.

Ooh, hitey-titey.  Let's all break out the tea and scones and be bored.

Hurm.  Ut!  Most of the "noise freaks" I've run into rejected J & M C as
nothing more than the SEx PiSToLS/FRANKIE/ Sigue Sigue Sputnick Anglo-sham
that they are and professed to be early in the game.  They did have a
following among the post-hardcores, though and no telling where those
allegiances will go.  Hell, CREEM likes 'em, so I don't know.
