Actually, it is written in the 3/4, 4/4, 2/4 in _Kate Bush Complete_, but
these are all transcriptions of things she admittedly wrote mostly
in her head w/o much reference to sheet music.

Her phrasing in the beginning strongly implies a six-counted six-eight,
with 2 4/4 followed by 2/4 "Some say that knowledge is...".  Musically,
that's what makes the most sense to me, anyway, and that's how I
transcribed it off the record.  I was shocked to see the sheet music.

Of course, I've been reading sheet music more years than our beloved
Miss Bush has been writing music, but all the same she's rich and 
famous and I'm still playing Green Street Station ;-)...
