 "The Mincer" has more ambiguous lyrics, though lines such as "fingers reaching, linger shrieking", "you're all alone, baby's breathing", and the song's title could be references to a home invader or killer.Original issues of the album include the lyrics to "The Great Deceiver," "Lament" and "The Night Watch" on the album's inner sleeve.The phrase "Starless and Bible Black" is a quotation from the first two lines of poet Dylan Thomas's play, "Under Milk Wood".
