Recordings

  1. Demo version.
    Released in 1992 on the The Bull with the Golden Guts cassette.
    Andy: “Written not long after finishing Skylarking. A studio recorded backing track was put down, but no final vocal added (this is the home demo). Aimed at O & L, but quickly drowned under the mass of newer material.”
    Also available on Fuzzy Warbles Volume One.
    Andy: “The first song written for what was to become Oranges And Lemons, it fell by the wayside in preference to other offerings. It obviously had something though, as I always feel a little emotional everytime I hear it.”
    Also released on the Blu-ray reissue of Oranges & Lemons on 30 October 2015 in the U.K.

Lyrics

Everything, everything, everything
We ever thought or said
Went in a box labeled "Us" on a shelf
In the back of your head

Everything, everything, everything
We ever shared or did
Stored in a jar which I swear had "True Love"
Pencilled in on the lid

Now you're saying, now you're saying, now you're saying
That you just don't love me anymore
Has there been a thief in your storehouse
Stealing away our memories?

Everything

Everything, everything, everything
We ever dreamt or planned
You tell me just blew away like
Confetti from some opened hand

Everything, everything, everything
You say you felt for me
Is it all dust and denial
As lifeless as some lunar sea?

Now you're saying, now you're saying, now you're saying
That you just don't love me anymore
Has there been a thief in your storehouse
Stealing away all our memories?

And did he light your lights
And make your bells ring?
And did you let him in
To steal away what we had together?

Just everything

Now you're saying...

Everything

Here's a guitar transcription I did for "Everything", a lil' Partridge demo
gem I hope will show up on a real record some day.

Everything
                by XTC (Andy Partridge demo)
                transcribed by Jeffrey Fariello (kingjeffe (at) aol dot com)

This is a real good one from a demo collection I picked up.
Can't understand how it didn't make it onto an album. Yet!

Lyrics:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything, everything, everything, we ever thought or said,
went in a box labeled "us" on a shelf in the back of your head.
Everything, everything, everything, we ever shared or did,
stored in a jar which i swear had "true love" pecilled in on the lid.

Now your saying, now your saying, now your saying, that you just don't
love me anymore. Has there been a thief in your storehouse,
stealing away all our memories? Everything.

Everything, everything, everything, we ever dreamt or planned,
you tell me just blew away like a fancy from some opened hand.
Everything, everything, everything, you say you felt for me,
is it all dust and denial, as lifeless as some lunar sea.

Now your saying, now your saying, now your saying, that you just don't
love me anymore. Has there been a thief in your storehouse,
stealing away all our memories? Everything.

And did he latch your locks, make your bells ring?
And did you let him in to steal away what we had together?
Just everything.

Now your saying, now your saying, now your saying, that you just don't
love me anymore. Has there been a thief in your storehouse,
stealing away all our memories?
Has there been a thief in your storehouse, stealing away all our memories?
Has there been a thief in your storehouse, stealing away all our memories?
