A slice of cheesy 80's synth-pop. Guaranteed no real instruments.

Spoiler

I Want It All

 

I been working through the night
fixing up the satellites.
Shoot them off into the starry sky
And I try to think of you
I can see those eyes of blue
How was it that I got left behind?
 

I am the flame, I am the fire
You are the fuel for my limitless desire

I don't want much - I want everything
Every tiny raindrop and every coin that rings
I don't want much - I want every thing
This world is much too small I want it all
 

Gonna get a rocket ship
take it on a little trip
make some money mining asteroids
Heading into deeper space
How I wanna see your face
Call you up so I can hear your voice
 

I am the flame, I am the fire
You are the fuel for my limitless desire

I don't want much - I want everything
Every solar system and every quantum string
I don't want much - I want every thing
The galaxy's too small I want it all
 

I try to think of you
I can see those eyes of blue
How was it that I got left behind?

 

I am the flame, I am the fire
You are the fuel for my limitless desire

I don't want much - I want every thing
Every tiny raindrop and every coin that rings
I don't want much - I want everything
This world is much too small I want it all
 

I don't want much - I want every thing
Every solar system and every quantum string
I don't want much - I want everything 
The galaxy's too small I want it all

For some reason I had tonight in my head as the deadline for this and only started it yesterday so it's rough as foook. I wanted to do some jingle-jangling with the 12 string I picked up last year so this is chord based in a way I don't usually do stuff. I still wanted to have a little space freak-out in there somewhere, though.

 

The technical stuff : Drums are Yamaha kit into Behringer pres. Bass is a PRS EB4, guitars ares are a Gretsch 12 string and a Bacchus strat, all into an Avid Eleven. Poorly screeched vocals into an SE mic. Noises are courtesy of Reason, space voice from Talk Any and all mixed in Protools.

 

About the song: We've never been able to see further away but, these days, rarely gaze past our hand
