If I only could...
The "Sugar honey treacle" line was the last line of the last album track for 12 years, and there's something about that that really gives me the feels.

19. Get Out Of My House
The Dreaming, 1982
"This house is as old as I am, this house knows all I have done"
Inspired by The Shining, this is the story of a haunted house determined to destroy its inhabitant. Demons hover at every door and Kate can scrub the floor as much as she likes but she can't remove the awful stains. In an act of defiance, Kate turns directly to the spirit and tries to ward it off - "Get out of my house!" - but to little avail. Cornered by evil and madness, she brays at the spirit like a mule - it just brays back. Kate at her experimental finest.

This is a lovely bit of soft rock, btw. I feel like I need to give The Red Shoes a proper listen.

Oh fuck yes!
Get Out Of My House is pure art, a horror film made into a 5 minute song, and really who better to convey that than dear old Kate with THAT voice? She does everything possible with her vocals in this!

I've just had a look at the ones I've missed and I can't see Snowed In At Wheeler Street, so I guess it must be still to come.

I justified this playlist to Mr Ag by saying it was nice and chilled.
He is now calling me out for lies.

But even with all the creativity here, the melody, the HOOK, is one of her absolute finest. The "I will not let you in" bits, and then the sounds of an actual exorcism or something. This is one of the best songs ever made

20. The Kick Inside
The Kick Inside, 1978
"I'll send your love to Zeus, oh by the time you read this I'll be well in touch"
A little incest, anyone? A brother and sister fall in love and she falls pregnant. Knowing they will be shunned by society, she is about to kill herself in order to protect her brother. As children, they were intrigued by mythology ("You and me on the bobbing knee, didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read?") - now it's time for her to meet Zeus in the afterlife. This is the note she leaves her brother.

Kick Inside is loveliness of course. Although I'm sure it's about the melancholy rape of a witch or something.

I suddenly want to do an edit of Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds with them replacing the aliens

The Kick Inside sounds and feels like a fairytale (and it's sort of based one non?) The plinky plonky piano really works with it.

The Kick Inside is quite inappropriately lovely. To think this touching ode to incest was on a teenager's debut album

Yes based on a folk tale I believe!

I'm guessing Hansel and Gretel needed to pass the time between meals somehow.

She literally said at the time something like 'I wanted to do a song about incest because no-one talks about it and I find it interesting'. Fair play really!The Kick Inside is quite inappropriately lovely. To think this touching ode to incest was on a teenager's debut album

21. Somewhere In Between
Aerial, 2005
"Oh how we have longed for something that would make us feel so..."
An ode to the spaces in between, the vacuum between this and that. Both the lyrics and production are majestic, and for me it's five minutes of beautiful meditative reflection.
