We're all suspended in gaffa...

As I remember from working as a roadie, we used gaffa for everything,
and the word was used both as a substantive and a verb. 'Hey you, gaff
this cable to the wall'.

Now, Kate hears this word from her roadies/technicians all the time
and asks what it stands for; "Oh, it's just a kind of tape". She
probably assumed it was a *brand*, not slang. Thus she capitalized it.

To our friends in England; please contact a musician/roadie and ask
what 'gaffa' stands for!

On the other hand, Kate capitalizes all kinds of substantives in some
lyrics.  Look at _The Dreaming_ for example; Kanga, Devils, Ore are
all capitalized. "Big Sky" is also capitalized in _The Big Sky_. I
don't think that is refered to as a brand...

Never mind, everyone is free to interpret Kates songs however she/he
wants too. That's why we like Kate !
