Peter Chow from Brighton (UK) replies:

I disagree with those who have said that YWA shhould have been on the album
because while it is one of the best B-sides she's done for quite some time
it's still not that good. I listen to it quite a lot these days. I like the
imagary in the lyrics. Some may feel that because the subject is a simple
one i.e. Kate likes honey, and that there are no great 'experiences' to be
had or mind expanding thoughts to keep your brain engaged for a couple
of hours that this song is a waste of space.

Perhaps my real reason for liking this song though is that the images in
it remind me of an animated film by a final year student at the Royal College
of Art, entitled "The Mill". It was a surreal work with the main characters
being a bee-keeper, a small girl, and bees. Unlike the subject of YWA this
film had some quite dark and threatening imagary as well as the pleasant.
