"Breathing" problem

[uuwest!user@apple.com (A Modem User)]

I'm surprised that with all this grammar talk, nobody has picked up on
something which deeply disturbs me, a line in "Breathing" that, were I
perhaps a bit more anal retentive, would truly screw up the entire song:

"You and me knew life itself is breathing"

ARRRRRRGGGG! "Me knew"? How could Kate, intelligent, introspective, cer-
tainly grammatically correct Kate make such a horrid faux pas? Does anybody
else have any stink with this? The only excuse that I could possibly find
to explain the blatant deviation of the Queen's English is that Kate wanted
to sing the song from -- you guessed it -- a child's point of view. But I
myself wouldn't buy that cop-out for a nickel.
