All We Want Lyrics

Give me gas when it gets too much
Not an uncommon thing
Everyone does (as such)
Here we go, up on all fours
Got bright ideas on how to win wars
(cos 1 2 3 4...)

All we want, all we ever want
Listen to something but I just say nothing
All we want, all anybody wants
Listen to something but I just hear nothing

Another episode just got binned
Next weeks repeat sees me living in
Inconsequence
Vitality
Struck hidden eyes, it's all over me

All we want, all we ever want
Listen to something but I just say nothing
All we want, all anybody wants
Listen to something but I just hear nothing

All we want, all we ever want
Listen to something but I just say nothing
All we want, all anybody wants
Listen to something but I just hear nothing
Listen to something but I just hear nothing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love the bassline. One of their better B-sides in my opinion but not sure it would've sat well on 13. Who knows. The same was said about 'Young and Lovely' being ommitted from Modern Life....

this was originally recorded for the "Blur" album, and later put to one side as Damon felt unsure about it. The song was later adapted for the movie "Dead Man on Campus by the Dust Brothers.

Amazing track, but, no, it wouldn't have sat well in 13. That album is already brilliant as it is.

Sounds like something from the "Great Escape" era, and that's not a bad thing.
