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.

I want 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.

I want it all, and I want it all

We can't have it all.

I want 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 'til I'm ready for you,

Not 'til 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 want it all


I pull out the plank and say

thank ye 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?

I want it all

Can I have it all now?

I want it all

Can have it all?

I want it all

I 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 'til I'm ready for you,

Not 'til 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.

I want it all

Not anywhere.

I want it all

No, not a thing.

I want it all

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 'til I'm ready for you,

Not 'til I'm ready for you

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 'til I'm ready for you

Not 'til I'm ready for you

Can I have it all now?
