You know, your idea of Kashka being a *woman* had never occurred to me
until I saw your posting...  I had always thought the song had
something
to do with her crush -- no reference to "Moving" intended :) -- on 
Lindsay Kemp.  (Am I remembering right?  Is he gay?)  She longed for 
something she couldn't have...  (Just like the song.)

This is just my interpretation, though, and I certainly don't mean
to flame...  But it would be really interesting to see how many
Love-Hounds
out there stand on this one.
