Thanks For the Night Lyrics

Well thanks for the night
The swag and a lovely affray
Thanks for the night
You give and we take it away

It was a smash and grab conflab
An all night show and we weren't nabbed
A thrill for one and all, a ball
Join us or be a fool
Thanks for the night

Well I know a place
Where we can have fun tonight
Yeah I know a place
Where we can be one tonight

Old Bill & Ben and all his friends will be there
Standing in a row
The News At Ten and ITN will be there
Don't be slow

The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
A fine affair
The narks are there
And we don't care 'cause I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night

The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night
A fine affair
The narks are there
And we don't care 'cause I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night

The fires ignite
All down the road
The scene explodes and I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night

A fine affair
The narks are there
And we don't care 'cause I say
It's been alright
Thanks for the night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Seems to be about a all night nicking spree, but also fits in pretty damn well for a date. Think it'ld be a mean song to play at the end of a concert, in an encore but of a tip ya hat at the crowd. Bit of a gem in my opinion. Why've I got the first comment?

It's about the 1981 BRIXTON RIOTS.
