Yet another beautiful song from the "Lionheart" album.

Lyrics:

Kashka from Baghdad

Lives in sin, they say,

With another man,

But no one knows who.

Old friends never call there.

Some wonder if life's

Inside at all--

If there's life inside at all.

But we know the lady who rents the room.

She catches them calling a la lune.

At night

They're seen

Laughing,

Loving.

They know

The way

To be

Happy.

They never go for walks.

Maybe it's because

The moon's not bright enough.

There's light in love, you see.

I watch their shadows,

Tall and slim,

In the window opposite.

I long to be with them.

'Cause when all the alley-cats come out,

I can hear music from Kashka's house.

At night

They're seen

Laughing,

Loving.

They know

The way

To be

Happy.

"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.

"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.

"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.

"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?"

the intimacy here, in Kate's delivery and in the production, is quite wonderful.

Favorite song. So sensitive, touchy, energetic, dreamy and sad at the same time. This song is like tasting a good vintage port after a long make-out session.

Patchy second album. But Kate's BEST songs came from the slated albums back in the day out her first 5. Kick, Hounds and Never are my favourite LPs.Bush had that rare genius today's digital cop outs LACK. Favouite tracks don't even come from the 3 albums I mentioned.

under the live version video of this song, jpacemsft wrote: Kashka is a male name in African culture meaning "friendly", and in arabic it's a word that means "luxurious, rich, successful". Given that the song is set in Baghdad it's unlikely the female Polish name has anything to do with it. So this really is about two gay men in Baghdad and how they have to hide their relationship. :) Love u Kate!

Kashka is clearly a man who lives with another man.

So "another man" couldn't mean someone other than her husband?
