Lyrics

Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Sorry to drag you away
God, thank God you did
This used to be a quiet wee island
Regretting you stayed away so long?
I'm regretting I never knew what was here
What?
Well, this place, you know, the Taverna
I always meant to come back and build it someday
But, uh, she beat me to it
Well, do you prefer buildings to people?
What?
Tell me something about my mum
Your mum, well, she was irresistible, oh, she was one off
Well, um, we talked and, uh, we fought
You know it was me that brought her to this island
And that wasn't the only thing you did, was it?
Alright, what's she told you?
Oh, nothing, she's never mentioned you
But you said, "Mum's always talking about her friends from the old days"
What's going on?
Sophie, why am I here?
Is there a man out there?
Someone 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
Fancy, Donna with a grown-up daughter
Have you got any children, Harry?
No, I haven't put myself in the path of paternity
It's never too late
I don't think my other half would agree
Oh, you don't want children
Oh, no, no, it's not that, it's just that
Well, I'd have liked a daughter
I'd have spoiled her to bits
Lucky thing
Is then your dad here?
I don't know
What?
I don't know who my dad is
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer
Can I be nosy?
I'm a writer, so it goes with the territory
Go on
Well, how did your mother get this place?
When I knew her, she was singing in a nightclub on the mainland
She was left some money in a will
We lived with an old lady when I was little
Her name was Sophia
What, my great-aunt Sophia?
I think it must be
Ah, but I always heard her money went to family
Wait a minute, how old are you?
Twenty
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
