I don't think it was an accident. Cloudbusting is based on Peter Reich's
_A_Book_of_Dreams_ and the song is sung from his perspective (why she
plays a boy in the Cloudbusting video).

"Your son's coming out" is a clever play on words. _A_Book_of_Dreams_
was an emotional "coming out" for Peter Reich. The best way to
understand is to read the book.
