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."
From an interview with programmer Dave McCracken for Home:
"[...] There's a song – we called it 'Everything'. What's it called?... Yes, [I Want It All], that's the one! When it came out I was like "They did another song", because the title had changed. But that song fitted the album from a melodic point of view, but there were better songs than that. 'I Want It All' was very challenging, making it into a Depeche Mode track from a Dave Gahan track."
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
