Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
Yearning Shadows: A Midnight Plea for Connection
Lyrics
Half past twelve
Feeling alone and isolated at midnight
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
Watching a late-night television show in a solitary apartment
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Expressing dislike for spending the evening alone
Autumn winds
Describing the autumn winds blowing outside
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
Feeling depressed while observing the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
Expressing sadness at the absence of phone calls
There's not a soul out there
Noticing the lack of people around
No one to hear my prayer
Feeling unheard in a prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Expressing a desire for companionship after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Requesting assistance to dispel shadows of loneliness
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Reiterating the longing for a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Seeking to be taken through darkness to a new day
Movie stars
Referencing movie stars finding fortune
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
Highlighting the contrast with the singer's own life
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Expressing discontent with the current reality
Tired of T.V.
Expressing weariness of television
I open the window and I gaze into the night
Gazing into the night through an open window
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
Not finding anything noteworthy or anyone in sight
There's not a soul out there
Noticing the absence of people again
No one to hear my prayer
Feeling unheard in prayer once more
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Repeating the desire for a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Seeking help to dispel shadows of loneliness once again
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Reiterating the longing for a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Expressing a desire to be guided through darkness to a new day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Repeating the desire for a man after midnight
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Emphasizing the yearning for companionship
There's not a soul out there
Noticing the continued absence of people
No one to hear my prayer
Feeling unheard in prayer once again
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Reiterating the desire for a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Requesting assistance to dispel shadows of loneliness
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Expressing the longing for a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Seeking to be guided through darkness to a new day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Repeating the desire for a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Requesting assistance again to dispel shadows of loneliness
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Expressing the ongoing longing for a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Seeking to be taken through darkness to the break of the day once more
