Stäfa is a municipality in the district of Meilen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.
Stäfa has an area of 8.6 km2 (3.3 sq mi). Of this area, 46.1% is used for agricultural purposes, while 18.8% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 34% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (1%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains). In 1996[update] housing and buildings made up 26.7% of the total area, while transportation infrastructure made up the rest (7.2%). Of the total unproductive area, water (streams and lakes) made up 0.5% of the area. As of 2007[update] 35.8% of the total municipal area was undergoing some type of construction.
It is located near Rapperswil on the north bank of the Lake Zürich in the Pfannenstiel region.
In the local dialect it is called Stäfa.
The villages of Kehlhof and Uerikon are politically part of the town. Stäfa is linked with the German poet Goethe who once stayed overnight in the town. It was named after the Scottish island of Staffa by a monk from Iona.
I know I've been tolerant 'til now,
But here comes a warning,
There's a very clear line that i'm drawing,
And if you cross it.
Sod off
Sod off
If you think I'll let you pull me down to
Your third-class communication,
And bulldoze over all my sensitivities
You've read me all wrong.
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Sod off
Things so far,
Have been too perfect
This is the premiere
But, oh, how many dress rehearsals
I've been through
Darling this is far too pure and perfect
I let you corrupt it.
Sod off!
I wont let you ruin this.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
Sod off.
