I don't have the lyrics here with me but ( he said sticking his neck
out ) isn't this 'Strangeways' ( spelling may vary ). This is a womans
prison in London I think.

"Never throw the letter `Q' into a privet bush"
- Douglas Adams
[ The lyrics on the lyric sheet are exactly as I presented them.
Kate did not write "A star in Strangeways" -- she wrote "a
star in strange ways". At this point, it is pretty obvious
that Kate intended this to be a pun. However, the primary
meaning should be interpreted to be the way it was written.
