Lyrics

She Wanted Everything - drawing by Harvey Dog 2026 for the 1992 Bad Etiquette song "She Wanted Everything".

“I wanted everything,”
she tells me
while holding onto my feet,
“roses and chocolates,
but all I’ve got is whisky
and you, but that’s alright,
it could be worse,
you could be older.”

I smile at my little nymph
and look at the sun
rising and shining into our lives,
yes, it’s alright,
we could be lonely,
but we’ve got each other,
we stumble into bed
and forget the problems
of the world,
and the problems
in our heads,
and forget
why we’re sad.

Lyrics Written: 1991
