She's only had two studio albums since?
One of them was a disc set, but yeah. She's very slow (one of the many traits she shares with Peter Gabriel). Too slow, I think, although I think she was also raising a family during that period.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, she was raising her son.
Her two disc set was interesting. There was a song about Pi. In fact, the lyrics were just the number of Pi as I recall.

I've only given it a cursory spin or two, and I really need to get back to it, because I remember enjoying it quite a bit.

There were more lyrics than that, but she does sing Pi to the 100th decimal point.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It is quite good, and Rolf Harris of all people appears on it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, The Kick Inside was much better than I remembered it. Thanks, Hec!
Am now listening to Lionheart, which so far is not moving me as much as The Kick Inside....

I think it's by far the weakest. Hammer Horror is about the only song I really like on it (and the only one I can remember right now).
Never For Ever is really good though. You could hear her start to take more control of her sound.

Funny, after yesterday's conversation I was just thinking of how much I love the song "Get Out of My House". Totally scarifying song.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
We listen to Kate Bush quite a lot since discovering that Shane likes Wuthering Heights, which I listened to frequently while I was pregnant. He already has good taste, people!
