Sat in Your Lap

I very much identify with this song.

You may read the lyrics here.

I quote therefrom, making ammendments arbitrarily to the hyperlinked version, to the way I have always heard the lyrics, which may or may not be correct:

In my dome of ivory,
A hum 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 shall never overfloweth,
And 'tis I that moan and groaneth.

I love Kate Bush.

The more I learn, the more I realise how ignorant I am.

In the words of Manuel, out of Fawlty Towers, "I know nothing."
