KATE BUSH - Sat in Your Lap lyrics

rate me

I see the people working

And see it working for them.

And so I want to join in

But then I find it hurts me.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.

Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.

I see the people happy

So can it happen for me?

'cause when I am unhappy

There's nothing that can move me.

Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.

Some say that heaven is hell.

Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admitjust when I think I'm king

(I just begin.)

Just when I think I'm kingI must admit

(I just begin.)

Just when I think I'm king

(I just begin.)

I've been doing it for years.

My goal is moving near.

It sayslook! I'm over here.

Then it up and disappears.

Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.

Some say that knowledge is ho-ho-ho-ho.

I want to be a lawyer.

I want to be a scholar.

But I really can't be bothered.

Oohjust gimme it quickgimme itgimme gimme gimme gimme!

Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.

Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.

Some say that heaven is hell.

Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admitjust when I think I'm king

(I just begin.)

Just when I think I'm kingI must admit

(I just begin.)

Just when I think everything's going great

(I just begin)

HeyI get the break

HeyI'm gonna take it all--

(I just begin.)

When I'm king--

(-- just begin.)

In my dome of ivory

A home of activity

I want the answers quickly

But I don't have no energy.

I hold a cup of wisdom

But there is nothing within.

My cupshe never overfloweth

And 'tis I that moan- and groaneth.

Some grey and white matter

"give me the karmamama!"

I'm coming up the ladder

"a jet to mecca

I'm coming up the ladder,

tibet or jeddah

Up the ladder...

"to salisbury

A monastery

The longest journey

Across the desert

Across the weather

Across the elements

Across the water!"
