Gilbert O'Sullivan - We Will Lyrics






It's over now
You've had your fun
Get up them stairs go on quickly don't run
Take off your shoes the both of you's and leave them down outside the door
Turn the landing light off,
No wait, leave it on it
It might make the night
That much easier to be gone
And in the morning who'll be wide awake
And eating snow flakes as
Opposed to those flakes
(We will) we will (we will) we will

That afternoon we spend the day
With uncle Frank (remember?) and his wife auntie Mae
Well do you know
Since then I've received
Up to four letters all of which repeat the same
They say thrilled to bits
Can't believe you came
We relived it both
Over time and time again
And if there's
Even a chance or even half
You might be our way
Would you promise to stay
(We will) We will (We will) We Will
Yeah..yeah..yeah

Oh its not easy pretending
That you cannot hear
Once you've suffered the reflections within
It's no use in an ending
To proclaim from the start that the
Moral of the stories to begin.

    Moral of the stories to begin.
    On Sunday next if the weather holds we'll have that game
    But I bagsy-being-in-goal not because I'm good
    Or because I think I should it's just that well at
    My age I think standing still would really suit me best
    Do we all agree?
    Hands up those who do hands up those who don't
    I see well in that case will we please be kind enough if not
    On Sunday to go to mass on Monday (We will)
    We will (We will ) We will yeah yeah (We will)

    Nice one Lucy - if only you'd actually checked the lyrics before cutting and pasting, you'd know if you've ever heard the song that there are bits wrong. I'll let you find and alter them.

    Yes, GO'S, what a great writer, great singer.

  35. R.... ....

    captures something so simple, the hardest thing to do in art. Genius.

  36. b.... ....

    His first album was PURE GENIUS . I can't help thinking the Gordon Mills messed up his mind.

  37. b.... s....

    brilliant from gilbert ,greatsinger/ songwriter

  38. T.... ....

    Telling a story like this through song is just pure genius, the best lyricist songwriter ever to come out Ireland or the UK ,such simple words put together so brilliantly.

  39. J.... M....

    Great talent. The Irish Noel Coward. Such a way with words.

  40. H.... P....

    Haven't heard this for over 40 years..still sounds as emotional as ever..Gilbert was the best at story-telling in his songs!

  41. M.... G....

    Fond memories of Waterford back in the day.

  42. P.... J....

    I still remember drifting off to this. A transistor under my pillow, listening to radio Luxembourg. Happy, Happy times.

  43. A.... C....

  47. m.... ....

    "Eating snow flakes...as opposed to those flakes" how often do you hear 'as opposed to' in a lyric. Clever man.

    Reminds me of the great Noel Coward.

  48. c.... l....

    listening  to this beautiful song in 2019...

  49. L.... D....

    Truly liked the video. 👌

  50. S.... T....

    A brass band in Aachen played this during the Aachen September music festival. A great tribute

  51. E.... P....

    The lyrics are cringy but the air is lovely

  52. A.... W....

    A continuous flowing backbeat and simple lyrics often create a good song and when there's a change of key can be an the most emotional part.This song rides up then back down -nice song.

  53. T.... ....

    I'm so honoured and grateful to have been born in '68 and growing up as a kid in the 70's. It was my childhood playground and the memories this song evokes are special. I think the best of times have been and gone forever. I just feel so sorry for the kids of today having to endurer this cruel and brutal world.

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  73. C.... W....

    isn't hejust WONDERFUL

  74. T.... M....

    One of those Gilbert songs even his critics like....Gilbert OSullivan is pop musics greates songwriter. Nuff said.

    T.... M....

    Should you be doing this whilst at work?

  75. N.... C....

    Just hit on this for the first time in 40 years ! I think I was in second year , Christ I'm now 62 . I loved that song back then and I still love it today. Wonder where we've all gone .

    N.... C....

    U said it Noel!! I love it 46 years later!! :-)

  76. s.... B....

    he just makes any moment worth living. So nice to listen to Gilbert

  77. L.... C....

    Very underrated singer songwriter ....

  78. A.... A....

    I saw him in concert two nights ago at St Albans Arena, England. I think this was possibly my favourite of the many hits he sang that night. Such wonderful lyrics. I LOVE the way Gilbert describes himself as Irelish.

  79. M.... W....

    Heard this today for the first time in a long time. GOS is genius and there’s no getting away from it. An incredibly talented singer songwriter who still doesn’t get the kudos he so richly deserves. But we know he’s up there with the greats don’t we? This is a beautifully crafted song.

  80. R.... D....

    Was lucky to see him in Ipswich, he was amazing - an extraordinarily special artist.

  81. D.... C....

    Song writer singer and poet

  82. l.... w....

    this guy was soo underated at his peak by snoby glam rock so called gods . well done gilbert

  83. m.... ....

    Why wasn’t Gilbert a huge star? He has all the talent in the world . His lyrics are brilliant. He is so gifted. He has a certain following, but he hasn’t got the due he deserves

  84. W.... J....

    Astonishingly good.

  85. F.... C....

    Sublimely subversive. A Mike Leigh film set to music in under four minutes.

  86. B.... P....

    Get this folks, I'm a blues man-rocker-prog-man.but the boy Gilbert .His music, it's very, very, special.

  87. j.... ....

    What a talented musician.

  88. s.... K....

    what happened to the live recording? this is the album version dubbed over the original live performance :(

  89. A.... N....

    Beautiful piece of work

  90. J.... B....

    Great song!

  91. X.... L....

    He tells us a story through his wonderful lyrics, and it's so beautiful.
    That last verse... OMG!

  92. F.... H....

    I just realized something Looking At The Date On My Watch Belated Happy Birthday Gilbert.

  93. F.... H....

    Does Anybody Know if Gilbert Has Put A song of His Called "Gulliver" on here? The "Gulliver" of The Song is Lemuel Gulliver From "Gulliver's Travels" I first heard it Over 30 Years ago on A Cassette Tape.

  94. D.... P....

    What does he mean with 'It's not easy pretending, that you can not hear (heal?), once you've suffered the affliction within. There's no use in an ending to proclaim from the start, when the moral of the story is to begin." Can't find an explanation on the internet... Maybe my English is not good enough... Anybody out there who can paraphrase it?

  95. P.... M....

    I Love this song... Great Sullivan!

  96. K.... -....

    You can't Diss his lyricism

  97. d.... m....

    and people accuse him of being a sexual predator, get off that horse, a musical genius always attracts the non musical sorts, if you don't like his music go find something you may like, but you will always find sexual innuendoes in all music

  98. M.... M....

    Gilbert aka Ray O'Sullivan's manager Gordon Mills also managed Tom Jones & Engelbert Humperdink. Mills' daughter's name was Claire... ...not a lot a people know that!

  99. d.... m....

    This is too beautiful
