This song is about the frightened silence that exists between some childless couples as they approach the last years of the womans' ability to conceive.The man is faced with his own selfishness on a massive scale. Her only choice is to remain and lie to herself or leave and risk loneliness. It is like rape in a mirror.
lyrics
Rachel hears voices
Inside and out
He doesn’t hear hers
She prays to the first man
Beside the fourth man
He prays to(o)
Himself
Will I, the Father –
Punish and Protect her
Smash my piece of china
Deliver me
She’s nearly forty
A magnet to the ‘phobes
She milks them
When the bars close
Each day she sprays
Something anti-herself
But a child-size projectile
Lies in the breach
