It all goes slo-mo.
I don’t know why I’m crying.
Am I suspended in gaffa?
From Cloudbusting -- Kate Bush In Her Own Words: Suspended In Gaffa:
When I wrote this track the words came at the same time, and this is one of the few songs where the lyrics were complete at such an early stage. The idea of the song is that of being given a glimpse of ``God'' - something that we dearly want - but being told that unless we work for it, we will never see it again, and even then, we might not be worthy of it. Of course, everybody wants the reward without the toil, so people try to find a way out of the hard work, still hoping to claim the prize, but such is not the case. The choruses are meant to express the feeling of entering timelessness as you become ready for the experience, but only when you are ready.
The song was covered by another band I killed, My Scarlet Life, on the Chicago-based Kate Bush tribute album, I WANNA BE KATE: The Songs of Kate Bush.
Which I expect I shall have to order a copy of, as I've been unable to find one anywhere.
Just when you start to lose me you snap me back to consciousness with a pimp-slapping reference like Kate Bush. *breaks out box set* An example of influence from the Youngian alliance for negro boys?
j., don't be absurd. Negroes don't listen to Kate Bush.
Not even Lenny Henry.
