Joan Armatrading - Back To The Night Lyrics






Leaves burnt by the sun
And there's no wind blowing
See the motor cars
With a smiling face at the wheel
I'm watching the little girls
With their young men at their heels
It's a sunny day
But get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Skyline

Sweet smiling rose
The night life perfume
See the romeos
Dancing under the moon light
I said the night
Night was made for romance
You keep your sunny day
Just get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like those skinny burlesque queens
I love a neon
Love a neon
Skyline

Got the card sharks hustling
At the break of the moon
Gay night walkers
Old blues buskers
All night long there's just so much to do
Just get me back to the night
Oh I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Love a neon
Love that neon skyline

Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Love a neon
Love that neon skyline

Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
I love that life
I love that life
I love that life

Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Love that life
Love that life
Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night

Joan Armatrading Back To The Night Comments

    I remember my friend got this LP in 1975 when we were 13. We both played guitar and could work out most songs but spent about 6 months trying to figure out how Joan played this. We never did - and I don’t know if anyone else did either. I’ve never heard anyone else cover it. Joan Armatrading is one of the greatest writers of music and lyrics Britain has ever had. She’s also an outstanding performer and a lovely lady. We love you Joan

    It's a mystery how the album this track is the opener for is not more well-known. I love the acoustic guitar playing on this track. A truly great artist
