Kate Bush - Suspended In Gaffa lyrics

Your rating:

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.
