Sat In Your Lap

This song is about the kind of people who want to have knowledge but can't be bothered to do the things they should in order to get it. It implies that the more you know, the more ignorant you realize you are; when you get over one wall, you will find an even bigger one.

The Dreaming was Bush's first album as a solo producer, allowing her to experiment musically in areas that were new to her.

The video for this song was intentionally made to be comical rather than serious. It contained images indicating lack of knowledge such as dunces and jesters.
