Really-From: Jon Drukman <jsd@GAFFA.MIT.EDU> I demand an immediate apology from IED for calling _me_ a gutter-minded tripe-eating son of a bitch! (OK, so those weren't the _exact_ words, but it was along similar lines...) Ever since I mentioned the pink leotard photos in this forum, I have been getting a whole bunch o' mail asking me where these photos can be obtained. And you call _me_ sick? You guys are great -- I can't even hold a candle to this bunch! Anyway, the only place I know of for sure that has the picture is the cover of the Japanese version of the album _The_Kick_Inside_. It also is the front panel for a fold-out poster of Kate which graces my wall currently, although the fold-out picture features Kate with her lips purse ever so slightly, and her knees tucked under her chin, while she grabs chunks of her hair with her fists, thus rendering the pink leotard shot invisible (it's on the other side.) Now can someone please tell me if there is something I'm missing in "Walk Straight Down The Middle" or is just a simple song about coping with the pressures of life? +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? --------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | "Please, Al, the fat and unattractive| | \|on |/rukman | jsd@umass.bitnet | have rights too!" -- Steve Rhodes | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Walk straight down the middle -- my theory:
The song describes a man and a woman on a bus
("calling out for Middle Street.")
The man thinks he is going to have a heart attack,
because he is claustraphobic and the bus is overcrowded.
("He thought he was going to die -- but he didn't)
The woman thinks she can't make it off the bus in time.
("She thought she couldn't cope...")
They walk down the middle of the bus, holding onto the
handholds (lines) which hang from the ceiling.
(They walk straight down the middle of it ...
holding onto all the lines...)
