Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Erasure · Other Songs - Erasure
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
Half past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
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
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
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
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
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
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
(Repeat)
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball
Half past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
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
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
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
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
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
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
(Repeat)
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! - Erasure
Erasure's 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' stands as a quintessential example of their synth-pop and new wave sound, characterized by Andrew Ellingham's distinctive synthesizer work and Vince Clarke's melodic sensibilities. Released during the late 1980s, the track exemplifies the duo's ability to blend electronic textures with emotional vocal delivery, creating a signature sound that defined their era. The song remains a staple of their discography, often associated with their broader body of work that explored themes of longing and connection through innovative production techniques. It captures the essence of 1980s pop culture, serving as a nostalgic touchstone for fans of the genre.
