Suspended In Gaffa

Kate Bush

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
