"All Mine" is the second track and first single off the album Portishead, by the band of the same name. Notable for its distinctive use of bass and keyboard, it is probably the most accessible song of the album, receiving more airplay than any other song. The song -with a melody reminiscent of 50s spy films- tells the story of an obsessive lover. It was released as a single, along with "Cowboys", "Only You" and "Over". The promotional video, based on an 1968 Italian music show and The Outer Limits, featured a little girl singing in front of an orchestra. The single hit #8 in the United Kingdom and is the so far the band's highest charting single in that country and their only top ten hit there.

Tom Jones recorded the song in his cover album Reload.

Lyrics

All the stars may shine bright,All the clouds may be white,But when you smile,Oh how I feel so good,That I can hardly wait

To hold you,Enfold you,Never enough,Render your heart to me.

All mine,You have to be

From that cloud, number nine,Danger starts the sharp incline,And such sad regrets,Oh as those starry skies,As they swiftly fall.

Make no mistake,You shan't escape,Tethered and tied,There's nowhere to hide from me.

All mine,You have to be

So don't resist,We shall existUntil the day,Until the day, I die.

All mine,You have to be.
