    The albumn _The_Dreaming_ contains a song called 'Suspended in Gaffa',
which deals with the emotions of trying to re-attain personal standards, or
the 'high' you get when performing your craft to levels that feel.. you know..
religious perhaps?
    Gaffa is in reference to Gaffer's tape, which is called Duct Tape, Tuck
Tape and many other trade names in the States. It is that silvery 2 to 3 inch 
wide tape. It is used to tape down cables and wiring in a music studio or on
a stage. One of its qualities is that it is very difficult to get every last bit
of it up off the surface you taped once you have left it for a good while.

                        i think..
