"Suspended in Gaffa" is a song recorded by Kate Bush. It was the third European single release from her album The Dreaming; in the UK "There Goes a Tenner" was released instead.
The song tells the story of seeing something one really wants (God in this case), then not being able to see or experience it ever again.[1]
The B-side is the original mix of "Ne t'enfuis pas", only released on a handful of singles in late 1982. The vocals are somewhat "muddy" and buried deeper in the mix. Additionally, the Fairlight CMI is brighter, louder and more forward, particularly near the end. "Ne t'enfuis pas" is misspelled on the original sleeve as "Ne T'en Fui Pas", which doesn't mean anything in French.
