I wonder whether or not the musicians who played on the track should be listed.

Hi, I'm the guy who wrote the original text for this page, and I considered that when I was writing it. I think it would be a good idea. Cloudbusting101 21:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

In That case, we should also include the Faith & The Muse Version from Vera Causa. --81.185.101.97 20:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interpretation?

As of July 2007, this articel said "Instead it deals with the trials and tribulations of a floundering relationship, telling her lover in the song that "...if I only could I'd make a deal with God and get him to swap our places". She has described the song as being about the power of love, in that it can create such intense emotion that all rational thought is overpowered.

My impression is that its a genderswapping fantasy. A woman's reassurance to her (male)lover that minor pain from intercourse is OK, and a desire to exchange subjective knowledge of male and female experience of sex. Maybe a little too risque for Wikipedia? I don't see anything about a foundering relationship in the lyrics.Cuvtixo 19:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Gilmour playing the song

I saw a video of this song with David Gilmour and Kate Bush playing live. Was he involved in the writing of the song, or in the recording, or was it just some one-shot event? David.Monniaux 15:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
