What I've tended to do is to use my own experiences to get into someone else's mind, like in Wuthering Heights.

It wasn't that we were afraid of the Church or the Vatican. The record company thought people might find the title offensive. They asked me if I would change ["A Deal with God"].

Don't ever think that you can't change the past.

When I was singing "King of the Mountain," it was a pivotal point in the show. That's the song that took us from this concert setting of individual songs into the theatrical narrative piece.

I'm quite a private person and I like my work to do the talking.

["A Deal with God"] was the first single off Hounds of Love. I'd put a lot of work into putting that album together and I wanted it to have every chance.

Sometimes people mishear my lyrics and think a song's about something it isn't.
