The Whole Of The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We got into their little black book
So they came in a space ship to take a look.
I saw them landing on Friday night
To bring love to the modern world.
They're still trying to work us out.
They marvel at the life we lead
'Cos they're travelling at a different speed.
They think we're chasing after chicken feed.
We're alive! ... in a modern way.
We're still trying to work it out.
Come round and visit please.
I'll introduce you to my other family.
They came from Mars tonight,
To watch the human race go by.
Try to make you see,
There's a future here for you and me.
But only love is going to make it right.
It could take all night!
We're getting them so confused,
But we're keeping them well amused.
We're like a team that always lose.
Wear our shorts in and old fashioned way.
Still trying to work it out.
Come round and visit please.
I'll introduce you to my other family.
They came from Mars tonight
To watch the human race go by.
Try to make you see,
There's a future here for you and me.
But only love is going to right.
It could take all night!
Come round and visit please,
I'll introduce you to my other family.
They leave for Mars tonight,
And if we go to too, it's gonna be alright.
It just might take us the whole of the night.
It just might take us the whole of the night.
(Repeat)
