5.7. The Sensual World (Kate Bush Music)
The Sensual World
This song at first should have included the original lyrics of the
end monologue of Molly Bloom in James Joyce's "Ulysses", but Kate
didn't get permission, so she had to rewrite them.
Ken
The Confrontation
One Last Look Around The House Before We Go
These three pieces appeared in the soundtrack to the half hour
British TV programme "The Comic Strip Presents... G.L.C". G.L.C.
stands for Greater London Council, Ken was played by Robbie Coltrane,
playing Charles Bronson, as 'Red' Ken Livingstone, who was - as the
song 'Ken' reminds us - the leader of the G.L.C. 'Red', that is, as
referring to his hard-left policies. Ken was fighting against the
'Iron Lady' Margaret Thatcher.
