Ah! Maybe that's why... :-)

I think "In the warm room" is one of the most sensual songs Kate
ever recorded. You may cringe at lines like "her thighs as soft as
marshmellows" but the way she descibes the situation is so
picturesque, it was an important part of my puberty... :-)
It's up there, with Feel it (another "sex R us" song) and mmm yes,
the Sensual world.

I think Kate brings in beautiful imagery of England-the-country-
and-its-culture in this song and she sings it very beautifully.
It's one of the rare songs Kate ever recorded with a sense of
spontaneity. She distanced herself from the song later, which is a
darn shame. I despize patriotism myself but there's nothing wrong
with being proud of your country... certainly when that country is
England... as long as you don't go overboard... :-) She didn't sing
about a miserable little fellow with a moustache did she? :-)
