	Recently I posted an article clarifying the lyrics of "Running Up
That Hill" for someone who had misheard them. I also provided a sort of very
broad interpretation that encapsulated my view of the song.
	I don't recall the exact wording of my article, but I hope I made it
clear that sexual pleasure was only one facet of the song's meaning.  And,
in fact, I do believe most of the imagery ("running up that hill," even)
implies a sexual or at least sensual interpretation.  There are many ways of
approaching the lyrics, some platonic, some romantic...the point is, you and
I may have totally different views about the song and I hope you didn't
totally underestimate my cognizance of that fact.
	My idea of the song is not an esoteric view.  And, I might add that
I ordinarily detest sexual/Freudian interpretation, but in this case I feel
it's quite justified.
	But think what you like; true intellectuals do anyway.
