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?
'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, ooh
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 disappears

Some say that knowledge is something
Sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is oh-ho-ho-ho

I want to be a lawyer i want to be a scholar
But I really can't be bothered
Ooh, just give it quick, gimme it
Gimme gimme gimme gimme!

Some say that knowledge is oh-ho-ho
Some say that knowledge is oh-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
It is 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 jet to Mecca
Up the ladder! Tibet or Jeddah
To Salisbury, a monastery
The longest journey across the desert
Across the weather across the elements
Across the water!
