I've always wondered about this.  It seems to be almost a blatant
reference to Kate herself as the protaganist.  Usually, she keeps
herself separate from her song personae, but here she really seems
to indicate that it is *her*!  Is this not something of a rarity
among Katia?  Other than songs like Them Heavy People and All The Love
and possibly a couple of early songs, this seems to be as clear a
self-reference (indirect perhaps) as any in Kate lore.  Or does
sisters just not fit the rhyme scheme? :-)
