Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Out in the garden there's half of a heaven

And we're only bluffin', we're not one's for bustin' through walls

But they've told us unless we can prove that we're doin' 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, I want it all)

We can't have it all (I want it all)

[Verse 2]

(I caught a glimpse of a god, all shinning and bright)

Suddenly me 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?

[Verse 3]

I try to get nearer, but as it gets clearer

There's something appears in the way, it'a 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 up a plank and say, "Thank you for yankin' me back

To the fact that there's always something to distract"

But sometimes it's hard to know if I'm doin' it right

Can I have it all now? (I want it all)

Can I have it all now? (I want it all)

Can I have it all? (I want it all)

[Verse 4]

I can't have it all

(We all have a dream, maybe)

[Verse 5]

Suddenly me 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?

[Verse 6]

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 gettin' anywhere at all (I want it all)

Not anywhere at all (I want it all)

No, not a thing (I want it all)

[Verse 7]

She can't have it all

(Mother, where are the angels? I'm scared of the changes)

[Verse 8]

Suddenly me 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

[Verse 9]

Suddenly me 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 now?
