On a lot of English first pressings of vinyl records you can find an inscription in the run-out area of the disc... Kate not only knows about the inscriptions, she even writes them, so most of them are of some significance...

Here's a list of the inscriptions on the first releases of the vinyl editions:

The Man With The Child In His Eyes / Moving: Side A: "The child hides in the light";

  • In August 1980, Pat Benatar released her second LP, 'Crimes of Passion', featuring 'Hell Is For Children' ("They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears") AND her cover of WUTHERING HEIGHTS. YouTube: Pat Benatar - Hell is for Children:
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sa0MkWoeTk "They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears Forgive and forget, all the while Love and pain become one and the same In the eyes of a wounded child..."

Each line of TMWTCIHE seems to have a different address, from Jesus to her imaginary friend, guardian, or groom...
