Breathing is an anti-bomb song.  It is told from the point of view of a
child in the womb when the "bomb" is dropped ("Chips of plutonium are
twinkling in every lung.").  Mid-way through the song the mother gives
birth ("Out!!").

"What are we going to do now?"

Infant Kiss is about a nanny who has a precocious child under her care who
is making sexual advances towards her.  The problem is that she is feeling
the same way towards the child.  ("All my barriers are falling.").

Greatly simplified but there you are.
