A Song For The Lovers Lyrics
I spend the night
Yeah looking for my inside in a hotel room
Waiting for you
We're gonna make it tonight
Yeah something in the air tells me the time is right
So we'd better get on
And DJ play a song for the lovers, tonight
Please play a song for the lovers, tonight
Don't wanna wait
Lord I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
I know but I was scared
Can't you see?
Oh, I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
I ain't got a ticket for this ride but I will
Ooh, to the soul of my lover, tonight
DJ, play a song for my lover, tonight
DJ, play a song for my lover, tonight
Please play a song for the lovers, tonight
Can't stop looking back no, no
DJ, play a song for my lover, tonight
One more for the lovers
Please play a song for my lover, tonight
One more for the night (all night, all night)
Can't stop looking back oh no
Oh brother wont you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love (tonight)
I don't know when this train's gonna stop
But I'm telling you friend I don't wanna get off
Please play a song for the lovers, tonight
Oh brother wont you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
I don't know when this train's gonna stop
But I'm telling you friend I don't wanna get off
I need you to be (in my midnight hour)
I need you to be (in my midnight hour)
You take me up
You take me up
Yeah looking for my inside in a hotel room
Waiting for you
We're gonna make it tonight
Yeah something in the air tells me the time is right
So we'd better get on
Please play a song for the lovers, tonight
Lord I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
I know but I was scared
Can't you see?
Oh, I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
I ain't got a ticket for this ride but I will
DJ, play a song for my lover, tonight
Please play a song for the lovers, tonight
DJ, play a song for my lover, tonight
One more for the lovers
Please play a song for my lover, tonight
One more for the night (all night, all night)
Can't stop looking back oh no
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love (tonight)
I don't know when this train's gonna stop
But I'm telling you friend I don't wanna get off
Please play a song for the lovers, tonight
Oh brother wont you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
I don't know when this train's gonna stop
But I'm telling you friend I don't wanna get off
I need you to be (in my midnight hour)
You take me up
You take me up

These lyrics are all wrong if I had more time I would try to fix them...but the song is good and I heard him explain before that this song is about him being alone all the time on the road in a hotel room by himself dealing with depression and just wanting to be with his lover which is his current wife.
I'm sure it's "DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight".
"Today, play a song for the lovers, tonight" doesn't really make sense.
I love this song! It is what reeled me in to getting this album and loving MR Richard Ashcroft... i also love the film clip, it's strange because the song almost has a 'sad' mood surrounding it, well it does to me anyway! Samba
This is a song filled with sexual innuendo. Not that a lot of songs DON'T have sexual innuendo, I'm just stating it as I see it.
This is a song for those boys who are going on their first sexual expedition. Not my favourite tune, or lyrics. Ah well. Music is like that.
Ashcroft's best song... by far. Actually the only one I liked on this album. there are better songs on the new album, though.
Good lyrics, great music but it gets me in a weird mood. probably the best thing about this song is the video.
sad song...
"can't stop looking back, no no..."
could there be a past behind this relationship?
the real lyrics are: "i ain't got a ticket for this ride, but i will" and there is some lyrics missing at the end where he sings: "o brother wont you lend a hand I’m alone in a room and I’m waiting for love i don’t know when this dreams gonna stop but I’m telling you friend I don’t want to get up"
but anyway, i love this song, and i never noticed all the sexual innuendos before, haha.
I like this a lot. I interpreted the lyrics as having something to do with... um, awkwardness? Like he wants to sleep with this chick, but he's intimidated or anxious about it. Or maybe it's not sexual, and he's just kind of apprehensive about begining a relationship with her? I don't know. Maybe the 'can't stop looking back' implies that he's been hurt in relationships before, and he's scared of starting a new one?
love it.
