All Or Nothing: The Authorised Story of Steve Marriott: The Story of Steve Marriott
By Simon Spence
Authorised by the Marriott family
Steve Marriott, lead singer of the Small Faces and Humble Pie, had a voice coveted by Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and David Bowie, amongst many others.
All or Nothing, Simon Spence’s oral history biography, is drawn from over 125 interviews with those who knew Marriott intimately: his wives, children, bandmates and closest friends, managers, record producers, record label bosses and his fellow musicians. Included are scores of people who have never told their story before.
From his child star beginnings to his battles with drug addiction and untimely death in a housefire, All or Nothing is a visceral and unflinching account of Steve Marriott’s extraordinary and often troubling life.

Itchycoo Park
Over Bridge of Sighs To rest my eyes in shades of green Under dreaming spires To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been (What did you do there?) I got high (What did you feel there?) Well, I cried (But why the tears there?) Tell you why It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nice and have fun in the sun I'll tell you what I'll do (What will you do?) I'd like to go there now with you You can miss out school (Won't that be cool?) Why go to learn the words of fools? (What will we do there?) We'll get high (What will we touch there?) We'll touch the sky (But why the tears there?) I'll tell you why It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nice and have fun in the sun It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful Ha It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful
