From an interview with Kate Bush on a Promo Cassette for Lionheart, 1978:
KB: "Yeah, well there's one called Coffee Homeground which was in fact inspired directly from a cab driver that I met who was in fact a bit nutty. And it's just a song about someone who thinks they're being poisoned by another person, they think that there's Belladonna in their tea and that whenever they offer them something to eat, it's got poison in it. And it's just a humorous aspect of paranoia really and we sort of done it in a Brechtian style, the old sort of jamming [??? vibe] to try and bring across the humour side of it."
