Glad to see that *The Dreaming* is someone else's favorite Kate...but
I still don't know the meaning of "Gaffa."  Since it's capitalized, I
guessed that it must be some sort of place, possibly imaginary?  I
guess my question is: "Did the word 'Gaffa' have any significance
before Kate made it part of the catchiest tune ever?  (With the
possible exception of Midnight Oil's 'The Dead Heart') "

   (too many good lines from Kate songs to put one here.)

      [	"Gaffa" is a European term gaffer's tape, which is the same

	wires and the like.  It is very sticky, and if you get stuck
	in it, it no fun at all.  -- |>oug ]
