Sat In Your Lap

Kate Bush

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

Ooooh, 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
