Mr. Moonlight Lyrics

Kathy in the sun
Kathy has just come
No other family warmth that blinds your home
And people in the know are just people in the know
Rush them on the sands and all go home, its goodnight
Candleman would never
Oh candleman would never mind

Lesters on the ropes,
Lester and the hoax
No other family warmth that binds your home
And people in the shows are just people in the shows
Rush them on the sands and all go home, its goodnight
Candleman would never
Oh candleman would never mind

Sonny knows you know you know what has begun
Sonny come come up the front
All the elephants came out now you can dismount
With the family warmth that binds your house
people in the know are just people in the know
Rush them on the sands and all go home, its goodnight
Candleman would never
Oh candleman would never mind

Follow Mr. Moonlight
Follow Mr. Moonlight
Follow Mr. Moonlight
Follow Mr. Moonlight

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.

I accepted this to be a remake of The Beatles' song Mr. Moonlight. Oh well this song is still good.

Ade Blackburn's voice reminds me of Brian Molko's voice from the band placebo.

I've been trying to analyze this song.. I think it's about how people in the know (or popular people; those who spread gossip) are just people. He's rushing them, telling them to go back home. However, the people who are important to him (Kathy in the sun and Lester) are the people who he is happy to see because he genuinely likes them. I think Mr. Moonlight is someone he mentions who would never fall for gossip?? I think it's trying to say that you only have to care about those who you are fond of; and not care about popularity.

Also I think that Mr. Moonlight is leading the "people in the know" out of the house.
