| Kate Bush – Kashka from Baghdad Lyrics

Maybe this is about what the outside world feels and what Kate really feels. It sounds like this is about stigma "Lives in sin they say" but she clearly wants to be part of that world. I feel this song has some similar elements to wuthering heights in the mentioning of 'the window opposite' or gazing in through a window. I also thought at one point she was almost a voyeur singing this song. Oh and yes - it's about a gay couple! |

I think people are reading too much into this one, like most of Kate's work I believe this is based on literature or Alfred Hitchhock's psycho. The song is from the point of view of a murderer or someone who's done horrible, unspeakable things and knows that no matter what he does his mother will think of him as a child always and protect him, it's about someone who idolises his mother. It's also about how the mother will never see him for the monster he knows he is "to her the hunted, not the hunter" the song itself is sinister but it also sounds cocky, like he's pleased he can slip past her. She'll hide him and be his alibi always. |
