I'm always affected by "Rocket's Tail" - "...and now, shooting into the 
night..." - I always imagine Kate dressed up in a suit kind of like the 
one in the film "The Rocketeer" and suddenly high up in the sky...

For "Mother Stands For Comfort" I always imagine the mother in the song 
opening the door to some policemen on the other side, only so she can 
peer around the side, and that the person she is hiding (after all, it 
sounds like it's written from a man's perspective - "Mother will hide the 
madman")... anyway, I imagine this person to be standing just down a 
short hallway, behind a door to one of the rooms, listening to the police 
and the mother talking, waiting in fear for them to go.
