Love Hounds --

Can someone clarify the last line of the first verse of _Ran Tan Waltz_
for me?  Where She is singing

	But some night, she'll run back in fright,
	???...???

Thanks, (still unable to anon ftp from my site)

Daniel Welch asks about the last line of _Ran Tan Waltz_ (an *incredible* song)

	If she picks on a dick
	that's too big for her pride.

Yup.  KaTe's using "naughty" words (even "worse" than the "shit" in 
"Not This Time")

It's neat the way she seems to relish half-whispering the word 'dick.'
