Kate Bush - The Dreaming (2018 Remaster)

Sat In Your Lap (2018 Remaster)

I see the people working
And see it working for them
And so I want to join in
But then I find it hurt 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
Says, "Look! I'm over here"
Then it up and disappear

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)

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
Hey, I'm coming up the ladder

(A trip to Mecca) ooh
Up the ladder, ooh, ooh
(Tibet or Jourdan?) Ooh
(To Salisbury) ooh
(A monastery) ooh

(The longest journey) ooh
(Across the desert) ooh
(Across the weather) ooh
(Across the elements) ooh
(Across the water)
