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 admit, just when I think I'm king
(I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I 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 says, "Look! 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
Ooh, just gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme 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 admit, just when I think I'm king
(I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit
(I just begin)
Just when I think everything's going great
(I just begin)
Hey, I get the break
Hey, I'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 cup, she never overfloweth
And 'tis I that moan- and groaneth
Some grey and white matter
"Give me the karma, mama!"
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!"

"By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell -- and hell is heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed." ~Adolf Hitler ~
Found this just a moment ago.
Thought I'd post it here.

It, I believe, is the anti-thesis of 'Sat in your Lap" but connected in a perverse way. |

That IS a frightening concept. Good find, Paul. I've got the heebie jeebies now. (first worms now heebie jeebies. I need anti-biotics I think ;D) Does this mean we can connect Sat In your Lap to Heads We're Dancing? Or should we not even go there.  |

I had exactly the same thought about connecting the two songs myself Sheila. I suppose I could see what the two sound like when played together? Could be interesting. |

Did I only post the original reply in this thread only a few weeks ago? It seemed to be longer than that.  Oh well. |

Some say that Hell is Heaven"
More of the brilliance of MS. KATE BUSH'S lyrics!
I recall vividly when I put the needle on my LP copy of "SAT IN YOUR LAP", as I had only ever heard my friends' copies, each of which skipped in the same spot during the drum introduction.
When I saw the videoclip, I thought I'd gone mad for a second, as its imagery was so utterly different from what had been evoked in my own mind by the verses. |

This song is just one of the reasons I consider Kate Bush to be one of the greatest, most talented and unique singer/songwriters ever.

May i just say, I have no idea what this song is about. Then enjoy it for the vibe you get. Without claiming to know exactly what message she was trying to impart; the mystery and nature of our perspective and awareness is what it means to me. Is knowledge a gift (Sat in your lap) or is it something you will never have? Just when you think you know everything you need to know (become 'king') - you'd actually have to start over (just begin) Because a wise person will discover that you can never have it all. And, depending or your perspective knowledge could be a blessing (heaven) or a curse (hell) - 'Be it care free abandon or resposibility and guilt. 'Just my take. |

I wonder what he knows about things now. May he Rest In Peace. I guess that as long as he's remembered here, he'll always be about. At the risk of going all mystical, I wonder what happened to all of that positive MX/Kate Bush energy? "Where will it go, surely not with his soul.." |
