Suspended In Gaffa
Kate Bush
"Suspended In Gaffa" 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)x3 C (let ring) A# (let ring) We can’t have it all. Whispered: C (let ring) A# (let ring) ("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 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) C (let ring) A# (let ring) We can’t have it all. (Whispered) C (let ring) A# (let ring) "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. (I want it all) Not anywhere at all. (I want it all) No not a thing. (I want it all) C (let ring) A# (let ring) She can’t have it all. (Whispered) C (let ring) A# (let ring) "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.
