I'm working on a story that will appear in an Amateur Press Association of
very small print run: 25-40 members, and I want to include the lyrics to
"Running Up That Hill" in the final chapter, as well as peppering the rest
of the story with isolated quotes from the lyrics of other songs.  This is
strictly non-profit, and no money will be charged in connection with it,
other than the postage and handling charges necessary to ship copies of the
APA to its members.  Also, I will give Kate proper credit.

My question is this: what are the copyright rules on this situation?  Do I
need to get permission from the publisher?  If so, who do I talk to?  What
are the addresses of those people with authority in a matter such as this?
How much (if anything) can I expect to be charged in royalties?

Anything else anyone here can think of that I've missed will be much
appreciated.  Please e-mail unless your responses would be of general
interest.  Thank you in advance.


"You come walking into this room
 Like you're walking into my arms
 What would I do without you?"
