Heaven 17 was an obvious influence; however, the deep, ardent vocals of Kevin Patterson easily challenged any charges of plagiarism. Featuring Patterson, Chic Medley (guitars), Graham McGregor (bass), Eddie Jordan (keyboards), and Mike Ogletree (drums, percussion). Their biggest hit was Feels Like Heaven from 1984, from their debut album Throw the Warped Wheel Out. The band put out another album in 1985, Another Story, before calling it quits in 1987.

All for You
Fiction Factory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All you wish for I can give
From this hungry heart of mine
Whatever things you will
To make me out of fine

Was that savior up on high
Who got there only yesterday?
Confession time once more

Doesn't mean I thing he says

Oh, I do it all for you
Oh, I do it all for you
For you
I need you

(Oh) It's all a guessing game of fools
As it starts to fill your purse
So make the best of things
Or jaded startings to their walls

Blunder on in deep dismay
Say the people others make
Save all others in that west
Be the falling fake

Oh, I do it all for you, ooh
Oh, I do it all for you, ooh
Oh, I do it all for you, ooh
Oh, I do it all for you
For you
I need you

Ooh-ooh, ooh
I do it all for you, ooh
I do it all for you
All for you, all for you
All for you, all for you, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Well all for you, all for you
Well all for you, all for you, ooh-ooh
