This has already been done. The complete lyrics (more or less) can be found in The Garden (via ftp and various Kate Bush WWW sites). Bryan Dongwray's cross-indexing of the Cathy Demos titles is very helpful. IED has some amendments to offer: "Surrender Into the Roses Camilla" -- Important change: IED's suggested title should read "Carmilla". The song explores the Victorian vampire story of the same title, written by Sheridan LeFanu; hence IED's suggested title. Carmilla, not Camilla. Of course, this may not be the actual title of Kate Bush's song. "The Gay Farewell Eddie the Queen" -- The correct title of this one is pretty well confirmed as "The Gay Farewell"; IED's title, "Eddie the Queen", is not likely. "Something Like a Song In My Garden" -- The correct title of this one is pretty well confirmed as "Something Like a Song", not "In My Garden". "Ferry Me Over" and "Dali" -- These suggested titles are indeed for the same song. IED was told by someone long ago that the song was suggested by Salvador Dali imagery; he has never had any confirmation of this claim, however. He has absolutely no idea what this song may actually be about; he only knows that it is a masterpiece. As Bryan suggests, the Phoenix titles seem to be more authentic, for the most part, with the above possible exceptions noted. It's too bad that we can't really confirm any of the demos' titles. -- Andrew Marvick (IED) S R I
