Red Shoes: a few questions

A few questions about The Red Shoes:

SONG OF SOLOMON:  I checked my New Oxford Annotated Bible, and its version
the passage Kate uses has a significantly different wording, with a
different interpretation possible.  It says "I am sick *with* love", not
"I am sick *of* love."  Also:  the Oxford says "Oh that his left hand were
under my head", also quite different.  Does there exist some Bible 
that has the words as Kate used them, or did she massage the text to 
have a new meaning?

Is there a video for Song of Solomon?  What goes on in it?

LILY:  more Biblical references.  Is this Kate's most 'religious' 
album to date?  Has anyone offered an analysis of this text, that
is, an interpretation they'd like to share?

Near the end, Kate briefly uses a voice that (to me) sounds identical to
the voice that she used in "Wedding List".  I've always wondered what
that voice in the Wedding list signifies, and furthermore, what 
significance it's return has in LILY.

And once again, is there a video for LILY, and what goes on in it?

Thanks,
Greg
