Subject: Lyrics: Night After Night, As Long As You Want Me Here

Here are lyrics of "Night After Night" and "As Long As You Want Me
Here".  These are based upon the lyric sheet in the Japanese vinyl LP
edition of "Night After Night" album. (without permission, you know)
And I made corrections of apparent errors, added differences found in
bootleg CDs of UK Mark II's 1979 Japan tour. Differences are in /* */.

You would find errors and vague words left, please correct them.


"Night After Night"
(Jobson-Wetton)
[from UK's "Night After Night" album]

Darkness descends on the freeway
Traffic lines turning to stone
I'm driving myself half crazy
I wish I were headed for home
Say girl when we're not together
I feel like I'm losing my mind

(chorus A) NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

I look in the eyes of a stranger
Reminding myself of the past
Yesterday is what I will leave it
The future is moving too fast
Say girl when we're not together
I feel like I'm losing my mind

(chorus B) NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
           It's the same lousy fight
           And I know it ain't right that
           It's NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

I see the red lights on the runway
The jet is moving too fast
I hear the last roar of the engine
And beautiful silence at last
Think of the distance between us
All of the words left unsaid

(Repeat Chorus B)

[Hammond Solo]

Think of the distance between us
All of the words left unsaid
/* sometimes sings instead of two lines above: */
/*   I see the red lights on the runway        */
/*   And beautiful silence at last             */

(Repeat Chorus B)

"As Long As You Want Me Here"
(Jobson-Wetton)
[from UK's "Night After Night" album]

Don't let me catch you with no-one else
That would cost you dear
I'll stay beside you 'til the end of time
       /* by your side */
AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME HERE

If you should stand me upon a stage
Naked before my peers
I'd sing my heart out for you every night
AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME HERE

(Chorus)AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME HERE
        I'll do anything for you
        Tell me what else can I do
        I don't care what people say
        Here I am and Here I'll stay
        /* in any order */

I see your photos in those magazines
        /* pictures */
They burn me up inside
I'll work forever just keep you satisfied
AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME HERE

And if catastrophies fall on you
I surely will appear (??)
I'll follow gladly to hell and back (??)
AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME HERE

(Repeat chorus)

I will stick to you, as long as you don't put me down
'Cause I won't be leaving you, believe me I'll be around

(Repeat chorus)

[fade into Thirty Years]
