Oh!

I never actually listen to Crumbs, so I couldn't know. It's up/down there with Miami for me.

I

this thread.

One of the more beautiful, undertoned sex lines B-man wrote from an otherwise overtly sexual song, Wild Horses:

Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees, the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heaven's white rose
The doors you open, I just can't close

One of my favorite lines that always seemed really unintentional but fits perfectly:

When my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between

Re: the Mysterious Ways line, I always interpreted that as sexual as well--but from the standpoint of the female. She's telling the guy that if he wants to kiss the sky (i.e. sleep with her) he'll have to learn how to kneel (i.e. treat her right, respect her, worship her

).

Just my 2 cents.

Well, it may be a tad early for the new album, since it's just about to fade off into obscurity yet again

"Running to Stand Still"

Sweet the sin, bitter taste in my mouth

may i remind you that Kite is mainly about 'learning to let go of somebody you don't want to let go' -watch the Boston elevation DvD- in that prosses i don't think he'll think about sex, and by the way there is nothing sexual in AB, well i don't hear it.

Well, I have a heavier theory about it.
For me, it always was about oral sex...

Well, read again the lyric and see it by your own
