Tower Records will probably have all her albums.  Start with the very
best -- start with "The Dreaming".

Yeah.  The bow drawing movement also occurs during the dance.  It's
really obvious if you've seen the cover of the single, where she holding
a drawn bow.  Also in the Terry Wogan clip, she aims a real bow and
arrow.

Not coincidentally, Kate's hobby these days, other than dancing, is
archery.

> I am not familiar with the lyric, is this in any way appropriate?

Yes, quite!  It's symbolic of a love/hate relationship.

Anyone else notice that at one point in the dance, Kate and the male dancer
become symbolically crucified on each other?
