The song lyrics are about seeing something one really wants (God in this case), then not being able to see or experience it ever again.[3] The "gaffa" of the title and chorus refers to gaffer tape, the strong matte black tape used by technicians in the film and concert industries.[4]
The B-side is the original mix of "Ne t'enfuis pas", which is misspelled on the sleeve as "Ne T'en Fui Pas". In some countries, the B-side was "Dreamtime" (which originally appeared as the B-side to "The Dreaming").
A music video was produced for the song, which features Bush performing an interpretive dance in a barn.
