Cover art for Big Stripey Lie lyrics by Kate Bush

It seems to me that she's trying to help and befriend and even defend a youngster, someone who's just had a huge disillusion and i now very frail and disbelieving and helpless. She's also trying to show that person his/her potential in leanring from that experience and trying to open his/her eyes to certain aspects of spirituality ("your name is being called...trumpets")
