All I Wanted
A high-energy punk rock track with a driving rhythm section and raw, aggressive vocals. The song features a fast tempo, distorted guitars, and a prominent bassline. The drums provide a solid, unyielding beat with frequent cymbal crashes and snare fills. The lead guitar plays a simple, repetitive riff during the verses and a more melodic, yet still aggressive, solo section. The female vocalist delivers the lyrics with a shouting, almost spoken-word style, emphasizing the rebellious and defiant tone. The song structure is verse-chorus-verse-chorus with an instrumental break and a guitar solo. The production is raw and unpolished, typical of early punk, with a focus on the instruments' natural aggression. The key is minor, contributing to the overall intense and slightly dark mood.

Lyrics
Remember
Babe… all I ever wanted…
Met ya down the boozer
Cheap cologne
Fake leather shoes
You said
“I’m a real-life stunna”
You were stunnin’ - mostly fumes
You nicked my last ciggy
Then my fries
Then half me rent
All I wanted was you
You and… basic competence
All I wanted was you
(you, you, you, you)
All I wanted was you
(oh, what a muppet)
Coulda had a life
Had a plan
Had a clue
But I picked you
You
You
All I wanted was you
(oh-oh-oh)
All I wanted was you
(you useless legend)
Now I’ve got your socks
Your debt
Your dodgy tattoo
All I wanted was you
Told me you were “in a band”
Turns out it was just your nan
Tap-dancin’ on the laminate
To daytime telly jams
You borrowed all me records
“Just for work
I swear
Babe
Please”
All I wanted was you
You and me LPs
All I wanted was you
(you, you, you, you)
All I wanted was you
(oh, I must be thick)
Coulda swiped left
Walked past
Changed me shoes
But I picked you
You
You
All I wanted was you
(oh-oh-oh)
All I wanted was you
(you budget Casanova)
Now it’s cold beans
Split seams
Late bus
Bad view
All I wanted was you
You
You
You
You absolute bargain bin dream
You
You
You
Prince of the kebab shop queue
You
You
You
Still
I sing it like it’s true
All I wanted was you
(yeah… and maybe your mate too)
All I wanted was you
(you, you, you, you)
All I wanted was you
(oh, I love a disaster)
Coulda had a brain
Had a spine
Had a clue
But I chose you
You
You
All I wanted was you
(oh-oh-oh)
All I wanted was you
(YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU)
Now I’m skint
Slightly happy
Slightly screwed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
(you… you… you…)
Yeah
I set the bar that low
And you still limboed through
