> The song also features some Catholic imagery (big C, most of her songs >are fairly little c "catholic"), Purgatory ("...I cought a glimpse of a >God, all shining and bright...") Also some images from the Gospel: "there's a plank in me eye with a camel that's trying to get through it". It's not as rich in catholic or biblical allusions as "Why Should I Love You?" though. BTW, anybody know what the "This Chapter Six" reference at the beginning of that song refers to? There's more interesting religious imagery in "Lily", but I doubt the pope would approve, as she appears to be casting a spell.
