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,
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
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.

Beautiful..takes me back to the 1970s and the nice year's..xx
His early songs had such fantastic lyrics such as We Will , Nothing Rhymed , No Matter How I try , Alone Again and Ooh Wakka Do Wakka Day. Outstanding songwriter.
Apart from ooh wakka do. Change that one for Claire.
brilliant songwriter and distinctive voice. Did well in the UK
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
Leave them down outside the door turn the landing light off,
No wait, leave it on it might make the night that easier to be gone
And in the morning who'll be wide a wake 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 no 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.
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.
@jezzyby47 im not gonna change a thing. ill let you get annoyed with the faulths that no one can see.
You know i'm a perfectionist Lucy. I can take your comments down anytime i want to.
So true to parenting !
Taught how to play piano by Rick Davies - the founder of Supertramp.
FABULOUS and TALENTED man! Have all his vinyl LPs from the time!
Gracias Gilbert desde Andalucía
I just think the lyrics are just perfect with great meaning behind them........
Just amazing
After Nothing Rhymed this is my next fave aw hell all his songs
No I know da RIP living legend
My favorite song on that record.
Gilbert gives a lesson in song writing.....I never said it was gonna be easy
He is difficult to forget..!!
Greetings from Indonesia..🇮🇩
One of my brother's favourite songs......he passed away 3 weeks ago today. I listen to it to feel close to him.
This song has transported me back to my childhood.
Christopher, my dear son, I miss you, my loving guy.
Incredibly talented musician. His chord changes and lyrics are up there with the best. He can sure tell a story.
Lovely.
Bought this single when it came out , 1971 on the MAM label
Amazing ☮️♥️🎶🕉
Very McCartney-esque.
My fave
I was in concert from Gilbert three weeks ago. Such an nice, amazing and friendly artist he is! I´m proud, to hear all this songs from the 70´s and now. For me one of the greatest songwriter ever. Hope to see you again Gilbert and thanks for your autogramm and photo!
I thought he lived in Swindon?
one of my fav gilbert songs!!!!
a very poignant song, the lyrics that get to me are recalling the visit to Uncle Frank and Auntie Mae as it reminds me that a family is bigger than than parents and children
Its so wonderful that many grown MEN are showing so much emotion here about this simply georgous slice of life song! Restores my faith in MANkind!! I LOVE YOU GILBERT! Thanks for sharing your truely unique (simple) gifts with us :-)🎼🎹🎶🎵🌈
Yes, GO'S, what a great writer, great singer.
captures something so simple, the hardest thing to do in art. Genius.
His first album was PURE GENIUS . I can't help thinking the Gordon Mills messed up his mind.
brilliant from gilbert ,greatsinger/ songwriter
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.
Great talent. The Irish Noel Coward. Such a way with words.
Haven't heard this for over 40 years..still sounds as emotional as ever..Gilbert was the best at story-telling in his songs!
Fond memories of Waterford back in the day.
I still remember drifting off to this. A transistor under my pillow, listening to radio Luxembourg. Happy, Happy times.
Feeling nostalgy
Jack Jones does a beautiful version of this song, too.
Nicely crafted song.
Que GRANDE eres gilbert
"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.
listening to this beautiful song in 2019...
Truly liked the video. 👌
A brass band in Aachen played this during the Aachen September music festival. A great tribute
The lyrics are cringy but the air is lovely
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.
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.
Zo puur en oprecht
What a talent this man was
Such emotive lyrics and easy listening he makes me cry yes men do cry lol
Xx
We sure do John, i do everytime i hear this song!! 😭
This song is so great!
Great Song. It brings me back to my memorys of my teenage years. Very good time. Thanks Gilbert

A class act, all the way.
Pure genius Gilbert 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

GILBERT O SULLIVAN 🎵🎵🎵
⚘⚘⚘ SUPERSTAR ⚘⚘⚘
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
isn't hejust WONDERFUL
One of those Gilbert songs even his critics like....Gilbert OSullivan is pop musics greates songwriter. Nuff said.
Should you be doing this whilst at work?
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 .
U said it Noel!! I love it 46 years later!! :-)
he just makes any moment worth living. So nice to listen to Gilbert
Very underrated singer songwriter ....
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.
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.
Was lucky to see him in Ipswich, he was amazing - an extraordinarily special artist.
Song writer singer and poet
this guy was soo underated at his peak by snoby glam rock so called gods . well done gilbert
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
Astonishingly good.
Sublimely subversive. A Mike Leigh film set to music in under four minutes.
Get this folks, I'm a blues man-rocker-prog-man.but the boy Gilbert .His music, it's very, very, special.
What a talented musician.
what happened to the live recording? this is the album version dubbed over the original live performance :(
Beautiful piece of work
Great song!
He tells us a story through his wonderful lyrics, and it's so beautiful.
That last verse... OMG!
I just realized something Looking At The Date On My Watch Belated Happy Birthday Gilbert.
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.
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?
I Love this song... Great Sullivan!
You can't Diss his lyricism
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
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!
This is too beautiful
