Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (Live) [Stockholm, The Karlsson, Sweden - 1986/06/08]

[Intro: Andy Bell]
Merci, Bocu!

[Interlude]

[Verse 1: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
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 Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Help me through thе darkness to the break of thе day

[Verse 2: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
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 Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Help me through the darkness to the break of the day

[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Help me through the darkness to the break of the day

[Bridge: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Help me through the darkness to the break of the day

[Chorus: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Help me through the darkness to the break of the day

[Coda: Andy Bell, Derek Ian & Jim Burkman]
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme

[Outro: Andy Bell]
