Erasure
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (Live) [Brighton Dome, Brighton, UK - 1987/04/17]
[Pre-Intro: Andy Bell]
Thank you
Thank you!
[Intro: Andy Bell]
In my dreams, I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball
[Verse 1: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Half-past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat, all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimmе, gimme a man after midnight
Take mе through the darkness to the break of the day
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Coda: Andy Bell, Derek Smith & Steve Myers]
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
[Outro: Andy Bell, Steve Myers]
Thank you
Thank you! See you soon!
