Gang Of Four - What We All Want Lyrics
This wheel spins letting me off
It's not the lack of trying
Can't put my finger on it
You can't help being hard up
Don't think that's any insurance
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with someone else
I need someone to fill my time
This wheel spins letting me off
These doubts and nagging worries
Nothing to work towards
This demon on my back
Preaches the razors cut
The hope that does not fade
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with someone else
I need someone to fill my time
This wheel spins letting me off
It's not the lack of trying
Can't put my finger on it
You can't help being hard up
Can't trust the gods we trusted
Don't think that's any insurance
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with someone else
I need someone to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with someone else
I need someone to fill my time
What we want's not what we get

RIP, Andy Gill. What a shock. So glad I saw you performing live in october 2018!
A song for every generation
Caustic guitar. RIP
Thanks Andy for making my adolescent years a bit more tolerable. I saw Gang of Four play in Jan. 1982 at the StarDust Ballroom on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. It was located just west of Western Ave. Great Punk Rock Venue !! The location is occupied by a Home Depot now..... God Speed Andrew!!

REST IN PARADISE
RIP Andy Gill
The sound of alienation
Bass & Drums !! 🎸 !
The live version of this tune from "Another Day Another Dollar" is excellent.
I'm here for the intro and the cords that follow
Mean and groovy. Slays any of the bollocks today
I feel like sports teams should come out to this song.
great dance track
Made in Leeds England ...
Abstract art in musical form.
This song is recommended to be played at high volume EQed to bring out the booming bass drum and bass guitar without losing the flavor of the harmonics and rawness of the guitar.
Great Track...shared to the Netshows RADIO "Program 120" Playlist on youtube
My band Groceries performed with Gang of Four at King Tut’s City Gardens in Trenton New Jersey
It was the I Love a Man in a Uniform tour..#Memories Love will getcha like a case of Anthrax
When music was decent and intelligent. Great funky riffs going on here.
Memories of dancing in the window of 288 lark. Dj shack
such a great band! love'm
WestBam sampled it in Alarm Clock 1989
A intro me fez lembrar "How Soon is now" Do grupo The Smiths
Best dance track ever, no doubt. First side of solid gold is almost as good as entertainment!, but the second is unfortunately weaker. Still good though.
Proto-RATM.
Best. Song. Ever.
Rock & Roll
Damn, this groove is *menacing*! Love it!
GANG OF FOUR fills my time. I think my ears are cumming.
First lisning live 1981 in Zagreb (yugoslavia-"fake komunisam" )- 70-80 best 20 r&r years in ,my life
I like this version better.

Wish jon was still with them. Jon please come back!
Gang still doing it in 2018! Haven't missed a beat. New material just as good.
Charlie Schmitt I had no idea! Thanks for the heads up.
Wow, I didn't know they had new stuff. Will have to look for it. Saw 'em not too long ago and they were still intense as hell.
What can be said about the gang that hasn't already been said!
Lyrics
This wheel spins let me off
It's not for lack of trying
Can't put my finger on it
You can't help being hard up
You can't trust the god you trusted
Don't think that's any insurance
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else
I need someone to fill my time
this wheel spins let me off
These jobs are nagging worries
Nothing to work towards
This demon on back preaches the razor's blood
The world it does not fade
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
this wheel spins let me off
It's not for lack of trying
Can't put my finger on it
You can't help being hard up
You can't trust the god you trusted
Don't think that's any insurance
could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else
I need someone to fill my time (repeat)
What we want's not what we get
Serious Question, did Primus cover this? If not why?
faaaaaat bassline
since moore then 30 years love it, also on vinyl, yess, swiss mountainer :)))
i'm only 58&1/2 years old.... rocking on this since .. "88 i cannot lie.
This wheel spins let me off
It's not for lack of trying

Sure Westbam sampled this for his Alarm Clock 12'.
Ave it..tune..away day madness..
Tensor Limit. A lottery.
When I was in college (1980-1984) we had no idea music would be essentially dead in ten years
It's an amazing coincidence that Real Music died the exact moment you turned 30.
Every generation thinks this. Every generation is wrong.
C'mon people at least tell him some good bands like Cop Shoot Cop, Arsenal, Harry Pussy, The Jesus Lizard, Unsane, Today is the Day, Neurosis, Melvins, Ride, Chapterhouse, Godflesh, Rapeman, Shellac, Cows, those are some nice 90s bands
its still not dead bro
Think you need to get out more
pretty close minded
Primus needs to do a cover of this.
This wheel spins let me off
It's not for lack of trying
Can't put my finger on it
You can't help being hard up
You can't trust the god you trusted
Don't think that's any insurance

RinchenSherab66 razors cut I thought, could be wrong
とちゅうでcutもうしわけないm(_ _)m
Used to have a slow, spooky cover/remix of this on my iPod back in the Limewire days. Can't seem to find that version. If anyone has a lead, please let me know.
OH WOW- this sounds SO Righteous - what I heard in Chicago
when Haven't I "liked " this?
OMGosh everyone loves that Smith song this was right in there- to me
mostly because the Ms Sarah Lee rocks the bass- oh and you other people-
always gooooooooood
#OdedMusic #OdedFriedGaon #Audioded
Slow this down and you've got Massive Attack
Classic!
Kicks ass!!!!!! YES!
When I was 18
My Vanity license plate from Florida was Gangof4...!
+1 on you friend
wow <"vanity plate" I THINK YOU MISSED THE POINT! GERALD!
Excellent!
ppl might think ur a communist
Such a badass song.
The only GO4 song that matters.
This doesn't hold a candle to Damaged Goods. Still fucking superb though.
Such a relatable song
No one has smarter, more pointed lyrics the GO4. Unfortunately, the irony loses most people. Too bad, there's so much here (and in other work as well.)
Rings true more so now, I'd say. Geometrically if not exponentially more so, at least here in the States.
I feel like wire is kinda better
Bullshit. pompous fucks. if you can't convey your message directly and still keep it interesting then find a better song writer. no point in hiding beneath SUPPOSED ambiguity. Are they "art rock"? or PUNK? that said, I think much of their lyrical content is basically good. nothing out of the ordinary. much of it's good punk lyricism. so I'm not slamming GO4. I'm slamming this notion of artsy fartsy ambiguity being something "oh sooo amazinggggg" in punk to certain people, who don't understand REALLY GREAT songwriting. So if they are art punk then lets call it that.
For me it is a push between Mark E. Smith, Nick Cave and these guys for most lyrical 'depth' meeting with the era's punk rock bravado. Or something wise sounding like that. But we are in danger of running dry of counter culture icons. R.I.P. Andy Gill.
Loved them but let's not pretend we're so fucking smart for listening to them. Hate that snobbish shit.
Got it all on vinyl. Great band
did you regal in the glory of the beginning of this updownload? click
The musical introduction is too long. When are they starting to talk about Design Patterns? :D
Every time I try to listen to this my wife interrupts me to discuss the latest performance of our Roth IRA. Life, eh?
LOL... I guess I should give them a fair chance!
Like WTF? ^^^ Way over my head ^^^
Fantastic! Love this band!
Best backbeat ever !!!!!
Yes, and that bassline!
I think Talking Heads might have borrowed this in Stop Making Sense. Sound so similar.
Yeah, menacing as funk!
Gang Of Four "What We All Want"
@Luc Bellone Yeah sure bahahahahahaha no problem Luc thought you might have wanted to know that bahahahahahahahahahaha
@Luc Bellone By the way did I mention the name of the song is What We All Want so I thought we all wanted to know lol
James Bell jr. oh yeah
4:54 pure MUSIC FANTASTIC
Music from my youth. Brilliant!
Great sound
Hello Glenn :-)))
Hi Zeljka, have a great week
Thank you. You too :-)))
"..can't trust, cannot be trusted.."
improved much since 80's? nope.
If anything, worse. That was just the tip of the iceberg, at least here in the states.
This demon on my back preaches the razors cut
Great tune, reminds me of the great man, John Peel and listening on my mono radio cassette player. Total uninhibited free-flowing music. Jobzagundun!
Another version of a nice song by GOF
Perfect.
Lyrics are so horrible but true.
this demon on my back preaches the razor's cut...
Love this song. The bass line is awesome!
Brien Milledge compliments of Miss Sara Lee!
Sorry, but Dave Allen played on the first two albums. Sara Lee still rules, though!
