I Want More

About I Want More

"I Want More" is a song recorded by UK dance group Faithless, released as a single on 23 August 2004. It features a vocal sample from the singer and pianist Nina Simone (from "Tell Me More and More and Then Some" on the 1965 album Pastel Blues). Also sampled in the intro and outro is an excerpt from Pink Floyd's "On the Run", from the 1970s album The Dark Side of the Moon. The album version, featured on No Roots, was released on 7 June 2004 and was split into two parts. The second most closely resembles the later-released single, with vocals from Maxi Jazz and Nina Simone. The first part features vocals from LSK who collaborated with Faithless for many tracks on the album. The single was released progressively as a 3-part set in the Netherlands with releases coming on 23 August, 6 September, and 20 September 2004. Each single cover image was a section of 'Arkadia Last Resort' by Jess Collins. Two music videos were made for the song: One version was filmed in Brasil, while another version features excerpts from the documentary A State of Mind. more »

Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls and a roof, electricity, stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime but still you whine

I want more

A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king on just one crumb of ya cake
And ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you

Shame your mind, don't shine like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew

What do ya mean
I want more
Yep

I was told as a child
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus

So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied

You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you
Ain't got no reason to be down

What do ya mean
I want more

Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time

Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift

What do ya mean
I want more
Yep

What do ya mean
I want more
Yep
