But I'm always wanting you
In December 2004, Robert appeared onstage in London with Blink 182 to perform "All of This". The album version is far superior, IMO, as it isn't performed at break-neck speed as it is here. Is it just me or does Robert look just a bit uneasy as he duets with Tom about infidelity? I can't imagine why.
Though I'm not a big Blink 182 fan, this song is marvelous. The lyrics are direct and expressive, and the contrast between Tom's voice & Robert's is just perfect. Robert is the voice of weary experience: he sounds like a man who knows this subject all too well. "We know where we go..." Did Robert have a hand in the lyric writing? Much of it strikes me as his style.
Maybe I'd best put the lyrics under a cut:
With all of this I know now
Everything inside of my head
It all just goes to show how
Nothing I know changes me at all
Again I wait for this to change instead
To tear the world in two
Another night with her
But I'm always wanting you
Use me Holly come on and use me
We know where we go
Use me Holly come on and use me
We go where we know
With all of this I feel now
Everything inside of my heart
It all just seems to be how
Nothing I feel pulls at me at all
Again I wait for this to pull apart
To break my time in two
Another night with her
But I'm always wanting you
Use me Holly come on and use me
We know where we go
Use me Holly come on and use me
We go where we know
She's all I need
She's all I dream
She's all I'm always wanting
She's all I need
She's all I dream
She's all I'm always wanting you
Yeah I'm always wanting you
I'm always wanting you
Yup, Robert actually sang those lyrics, right there, onstage in front of everybody. Robert's done a lot of one-off's with
various artists since 2000, and when you think about the lyrics in terms of what has been happening in his life, it's
easy to see why he's done them, at least I think so. Apparently many fans are bewildered at his choices. I think they
all make perfect sense. But we're not allowed to talk about it, so.... ;-)
yesterday's gone
love will tear us apart
don’t believe a word
the faith healer
perfect blue sky
all of this
believe
possession
da hype
truth is
the dragon hunters song
without you i'm nothing
to love somebody
love
please
