You learn to ride the Earth,
When you're living on your belly and the enemy are city-births.
Who need radar? We use scent.
They stink of the west, stink of sweat.
Stink of cologne and baccy, and all their Yankee hash.

Let's not forget Kate was 24 when she wrote that.

What were Rhianna, Katy Perry or Beyonce doing at that age? Pushing their arses out and practicing their 'emotional' warbling.

It's such a talent no-contest that it makes me want to burst out laughing.

Isn't that so true? Haha!...but this generation would see it differently I suspect...it's not as if Bey, Katy or Rihanna couldn't make alternative content...it's whether or not they want to...

Hey Gunsnhalen, maybe I'll take back what I said about the 'youth' on another thread...Scotsman1999 just reminded us Kate was 24 on that...and obviously even younger on the first 3 (albums).

(Thx for singing along though, heehee!)

Damn! Can't get this album outta my head anymore!

She was 24 when she wrote this? and she was 18 when she wrote Wuthering Heights i believe. Whew... that's some serious shit.

It was recorded July/August 1981 which means she would have been no older than 22 when she wrote it.

Night Of The Swallow was recorded at the same sessions. Aye, a special talent for sure.
