Darling, They Want It All

by Edwyn Collins

on Hope and Despair (2011)

You can jump and change it
And you can rearrange it
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
But you can't escape them
And you can't placate them
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all

An all you've got to give them is
Something for everyone
They'll make you walk or else you'll crawl
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all

They may make or break you
They may grow to hate you
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all

'Cause it's break or bust
If you catch my thrust
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all

So why try to defy them
Deny, decry or pacify them
You'll learn to walk before you crawl
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
Darling, they want it all
