“I look at you and see
my life that might have been
your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields

The smell of burning fields
will now mean you and here.”

Song lyrics, The Sensual World (1989)

“I think musicians have a responsibility to try and do something that is good. It's so hard. It's very difficult to pull something out of the hat creatively. Although I say it’s their responsibility, it's really just people trying to do the best that they can.”

“When you reach for a star
Only angels are there
And it's not very far
Just a step on a stair
Take a look at those clowns
And the tricks that they play
In the circus of life
Life is bitter and gay There are clowns in the night
Clowns everywhere
See how they run
Run from despair …”

This was a song written for the soundtrack of The Magician of Lublin (1979), based on the 1960 novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer; Kate's singing of it appears at times in the background within the film - YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkfbkVKmbG0 <br class="br">Song lyrics, Singles and rarities

And only want a little company,

For the rats to eat,
And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground.”

Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.”

And she looks so beautiful in her armour
Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she never wears a ring on her finger…”

Keep looking up for the ladder.”

You put your hands in
And rip my heart out
Eat the music.”

To get your own back on me.
So all I want to do is forget
You, friend.”
