Artist/Band: Replacements
Lyrics for Song: We Know The Night
Lyrics for Album: All for Nothing/Nothing for All [1997]



Best things in life don't come for free

Best things in life always come unexpectedly

Well, we watch the clock and it comes as no surprise

Till the day is late and we let out a sigh

'Cause we know the night could fall at any time



With scissors and a comb I cut my lawn

And there's no one in the world I'm counting on

There's a war ragin' outside - I hope my grass stays green

Till the day is late and we let out a scream

'Cause we know the night could fall down on its knees



We don't know the prime lending ray

And we don't know the pain of a broken day

We don't know what's wrong or what's right

We know the night...we know the night



You can bust your back from now till the sun goes west

Best things always come when your mind's at rest

In the afternoon, my mind ain't sleepy, it's preoccupied

Till the day is late and we let out a sigh

'Cause we know the night could fall at any time



Yeah, we know the night could fall at any time

We know the night...we know the night


We Know The Night

Released on the 1997 compilation All for Nothing/Nothing for All, "We Know The Night" stands as a defining track for the Replacements, capturing the band's signature blend of punk energy and melodic sensibility. The song exemplifies their ability to transform raw, garage-rock aesthetics into emotionally resonant pop structures, a hallmark of their mid-90s output. With its driving rhythm and haunting vocal delivery, the recording reflects the group's evolution during this era, showcasing their influence on alternative rock and the power of their songwriting. It remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a prime example of their ability to balance aggression with vulnerability.
