Something that's been bugging me for a while....

The lyrics for Rocket's Tail in the CD booklet give this line as

     And still as a rocket, I land in the water,

but She doesn't seem to be singing this on the album...it sounds much
more like

     And still as a rocket, I land on the moon.

I know She tends to ad lib a bit when recording, but this is a pretty
major change in the general metaphor (just trying to sound pretentious
here 8-) is it not?. Has anybody mentioned this before on L-H? Can't
say I remember anything.
