absolutely love this song, winning the battle for #1 on the album for me. just an awesome tune all around, but im so curious, does anyone have any clue on the identity of this Katherine Wheel? i take it they are a women, but are they just fictional? is there some kind of referance im not picking up on? please let me know...
also, the last line in the second verse, i think its supposed to be
Love in theory and practice, as in the title of the album
and in the last line of the bridge, it sounds more like hes saying
With you im at peace with the war within
A katherine wheel was a german method of torture in the middleages. The victims limbs were broken and than strapped to the spokes of a wheel. Then, still alive, the wheel was put on a pole, spinned and vultures en crows would pick on the body untill death. Ville descibes it in the song! http://home.comcast.net/~burokerl/catherine_wheel.htm

kat von d, whom ville dated for a while. her real name is katherine. and since the tourture device is spelled "Catherine" not "katherine", im taking a guess here to say thats who he's talking about.
