Notes

Ben Hillier told the November 2005 of Keyboard magazine:

"The drum sounds on 'I Want it All' are those [three ARP 2600s], run from the 1601 as we played with the envelopes and filters."

Lyrics


I Want It All

I see a river

It's oceans that I want

You have to give me everything

But everything's not enough


It's my desire

To give myself to you

Sometimes


Sometimes I try

Sometimes I lie with you

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I die it's true

Somewhere I'll find something that's kind in you


And I've crossed the line again

A line I drew in sand

And still you give me everything

But everything's not enough


I'm ready but not willing

To give myself to you

Sometimes


Come on over lay down beside me

And I'll try

Come on over lay down beside me

And I'll try

And I'll try


I want it all
