Seeing the discussion of the lyrics of "There Goes A Tenner" reminds me;
there is something I think all you North Americans are missing. In verse
"six" the line:

	"A star in strange ways"

should maybe be:

	"A star in Strangeways"

"Strangeways" is a prison (in Manchester I think). This is consistent
with the interpretation of the rest of the verse. In fact, this is
the interpretation I have always put on that line and assumed Kate
did too.

      [	If there is truly a famous prison called "Strangeways" then it
	does seem clear that Kate must have meant this as a cute pun!
	Thanks for the neat point!  -- |>oug ]
