Perhaps I've missed it, but I haven't seen anyone comment on the presence of the phrase "the big sky" in this song, and the fact that it's rythmically identical to the same words as sung in the song "The Big Sky" on the "Hounds of Love" album. For those who haven't heard it yet, the lines I'm refering to are: "We take all the telescopes and turn(ed?) them inside out, and we point them away from the big sky." (from memory - apologies for tiny mistakes) I wonder if Kate is being self-reflexive and saying that she has turned her own view away from the ideas expressed in the song "The Big Sky" and is instead looking more inward, to her heart. Also, isn't there a telescope in the video for "The Big Sky"? Anyone agree with the conjecture? Disagree? Couldn't care less? :)
