Grant McLennan - Watershed

You Can’t Have Everything

You've got fur coats
Filling up your closet.
You've got your boats
All around the block.
You've got your doctor
Saying you'll live forever.
You can't have everything.

You've got the mermaids
Giving up their waves.
You've got your enemies
Screaming that you're brave.
You've got unwanted visitors
Saying "Jesus saves".
You can't have everything.

You've got the watchmakers
Putting back the clocks.
You've got the caretaker
Draining the pool.
You've got the Philharmonic
Playing happy birthday.
You can't have everything.

You've got a house.
You've paid the mortgage.
You've got a masterpiece
Lying in storage.
You've got a thirteenth century
Drawbridge.
You can't have everything.

You've got lovers saying
"Take our diamond rings".
You've got the angels,
Can't you hear them sing?
You've got the world
And the gifts it brings.
You can't have everything.
You can't have everything.

You don't have anything.
