Kate Bush Sat In Your Lap Lyrics

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?
'Cos when I have no energy, 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
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
A jet to Mecca, Tibet or Jeddah
To Salisbury, a monastery
The longest journey, across the desert
Across the weather, across the elements
Across the water)
