Yep ! Doesn't exactly live up to the Dylan or Hendrix versions though....
Quoting:2 All I Want Is You:???End Quote
CF said ??? too ! I am amazed ! It is a very long, slow, song. The video clip was based on a circus midget secretly lusting after (I think) the strongman's girlfriend.
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
Familiar ? ???

Once again, they should not really bothered.....
Quoting:15 Van Diemen's Land:???

Ah ! From the Joshua Tree I think, when they started their big slide. Only has relevance to me as it is the original name of Tasmania (one of the States of Australia - the little island one at the bottom) where the mother country (bless them) ::) would send convicts for such heinous crimes like stealing half a slice of bread......
The song is all about being sent as a convict (for stealing half a slice of bread or something), and finding that life over here was just as unfair.....
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rend from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage
