Nickie --

I don't think KaTe is speaking about a smurf in Moments Of Pleasure - I'm 
pretty sure she's saying a kind of slurred version of "it's murph", who 
was, I assume, a guitarist.  If you slur "it's" and "murph" together, it 
certainly sounds like she's saying "smurf".

I agree with you, though... Moments of Pleasure is an extremely emotional 
song - one of my favourites by KaTe (on a related note, is anyone 
*really* touched by All the Love?  I thought this was a beautiful song... 
but I digress...).  I always thought (or maybe I read it here) that 
Moments of Pleasure was a song about those KaTe has loved and have died.  
She's really opening herself up in this song... it gets to me every time...

This hasn't exactly been an 'indepth' explanation of the song... sorry...
