I am reluctant to get into this discussion, however i feel i should.
I have the hammersmith video and have watched it since this 
whole thread started.  if you veiw it yourself you can clearly
see that she IS NOT singing hammer horror.  in fact it is 
admitted by her in the book KATE BUSH; VISUAL DOCUMENTARY,
that she chose not to sing this song so she could concentrate
on the facial expressions done during this song.  it is no big
mystery.  she is not trying to appear that she is singing.
she does not move her lips or anything like that.  it is part
of a preformance of the  song.  shes not trying to pull
a mili vannili or anything like that, she simply wanted to
focus on the acting aspect of the song.  if you don't believe
what i have said just watch the video or pick up the book.
i hope this ends this thread.
