Kate Bush - Suspended in Gaffa lyrics

Out in the garden

There`s half of a heaven,

And we`re only bluffing.

We`re not ones for busting through walls,

But they`ve told us

Unless we can prove

That we`re doing it,

We can`t have it all.

He`s gonna wangle

A way to get out of it.

She`s an excuse

And a witness who`ll talk when he`s called.

But they`ve told us

Unless we can prove

That we`re doing it,

We can`t have it all.

We can`t have it all.

"I caught a glimpse of a god, all shining and bright."

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.

It all goes slo-mo.

I don`t know why I`m crying.

Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not until I`m ready for you,

Not until I`m ready for you

Can I have it all.

I try to get nearer,

But as it gets clearer

There`s something appears in the way,

It`s a plank in me eye,

With a camel

Who`s trying to get through it,

Am I doing it?

Can I have it all now?

I pull out the plank and say

"Thank you for yanking me back

To the fact that there`s

Always something to distract."

But sometimes it`s hard

To know if I`m doing it right.

Can I have it all?

Can I have it all now?

We can`t have it all.

"We all have a dream...maybe."

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.

It all goes slo-mo.

I don`t know why I`m crying.

Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not until I`m ready for you,

Not until I`m ready for you

Can I have it all.

I won`t open boxes

That I am told not to.

I`m not a Pandora.

I`m much more like

That girl in the mirror.

Between you and me

She don`t stand a chance of getting anywhere at all.

Not anywhere at all.

No, not a thing.

She can`t have it all.

"Mother, where are the angels? I`m scared of the changes."

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.

It all goes slo-mo.

I don`t know why I`m crying.

Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Not until I`m ready for you,

Not until I`m ready for you

Can I have it all.
