Lynch, Stephen - The Night I Laid You Down Lyrics






We were young, maybe twenty
You wore a white dressing gown
Drinking wine and dancing slowly
On the night I laid you down

And the moonlight revealed your body
As the radio played some old Phil Collins songs
And we believed in something holy
On the night I laid you down

We had love in our eyes
We passion in our souls
There was fire in our kisses
But it was not a Phil Collins song

It might have been like Mike
The Mechanics
I don't know who that is
Yes, you do, he was the other guy in Genesis
Mmmm, I'm pretty sure that it was Phil Collins
No, it wasn't
On this night I laid you down

Any way
it doesn't matter
Any way
doesn't matter
We made love
We made love
'Til the dawn
Two hearts beating
Two hearts beating
is all we heard
Oh boy, here we go
Besides that old
There was fuckin' no
Phil Collins song

Well, it might have been that song from the movie with the jambox
Say anything
That's the one
Who the hell mixes up Peter Gabriel with Phil Collins
Well fuck you, I guess I'm no expert in fucking nineties music whatever
No, you're not eighties
On the night I laid you down
On the night I laid you down

  1. D.... S....

    I love her voice!

  2. j.... ....

    Where is Courtney?

  3. s.... ....

    Man. I love his work. When you go from his early work to this new stuff you can tell he's a really talented musician

    s.... ....

    I could tell back in his early days too. But yes, it stands out more now that he's calmed down lol

  4. t.... ....

    He still has Ms. Goldberg singing with him. He must pay really well....just sayin'......

  5. J.... ....

    Could she be any more adorable?

  6. L.... B....

    Who's the hot chick? Er, wait...tattoos. Never mind.

  7. E.... J....

    lmao I love them

  8. M.... R....

    Love this...A word of advice fellas: I've learned, through 25 years of marriage, that no matter how sure you are that you remember the correct version of some event, your lady is right 99% of the time. Cheers!

  9. G.... ....

    I've literally had this argument with my girl before. lol I thought Salisbury Hill was Phil. haha

  10. s.... ....

    i mixed up peter gabriel and phil collins before lol. they were BOTH in genesis at one time right? (of course i'm no expert in 90s music though)

  11. L.... G....

    '90,80',whatever hahahahah:)))

  12. L.... B....

    Who is it singing with him? I have only ever heard it with Courtney Jaye.

    L.... B....

    Luke Birch Thats her. She just has glasses on and her hair in a braid

  13. T.... M....

    It was a Phil Collins song.

    T.... M....

    The Major philadelphia collins, the one who sells dirty burgers

    T.... M....

    Scott C BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

  14. P.... T....

    Stephen lynch "for the ladies" if you like him you won't anymore if you're a true fan you will already know xD and still love his stuff as I do

  15. T.... S....

    Is it just me or has he put on a lot of weight?

  16. J.... P....

    man in 2013 he looked old! i mean damn!!!!!

    J.... P....

    I was thinking the same thing! He's 44 now I can't believe it.

  17. Y.... m....

    Peter Gabriel left Genesis after The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour in 1975

  18. W.... ....

    So well put together

  19. S.... H....

    It's actually a serious song until about half way through.

    S.... H....

    @Silixtu Hibiski You literally described every Stephen Lynch song.

    S.... H....

    +ShortFingeredShreder Grandfather and Caught Me turn ridiculous even sooner than the halfway point.

  20. L.... C....

    she has a really nice voice...reminds me of norah jones

  21. D.... S....

    Anyone else realize the news report from the Boston Bombing in the background?

    D.... S....

    Yeah haha then the camera starts focusing on it

  22. S.... O....

    Well fuck you, i guess i'm no expert in fucking 90s music..80S!...whatever! :))

  23. T.... ....

    You know Jimmy wanted to take her out to dinner. I'm sure he tried to pass her his card. Hahaha

    T.... ....

    That upload is here somewhere it was douche chill pathetic. Hot talented singer with her own record contract and Norton thinks he's got a prayer lol.

  24. G.... ....

    Cant believe how fat hes got, from the el ray show to this, its like wtf! Still got a great voice tho :) and still ledgendary. would like to see more shocking songs tho like the gerbil song or grandfather lol

    G.... ....

    +Glimmy Really? "wtf"? It's been 9 years. Aren't people allowed to age anymore?

    G.... ....

    That's so mean he's allowed to get as fat and old as he wants you son of a bitch he's brought so much joy and laughter to all of us. 😭 go fuck yourself

    G.... ....

    Glimmy I have to agree with you 100%. He still sings great and is funny. But his humor really stemmed from the frat boy obnoxious lyric. A fat guy singing about a big fat friend just kind of loses its humor. It was bound to happen but it's sad nonetheless

  25. T.... P....

    how old is he now? :O

    T.... P....

    +Tacos Pies I think he's 44 or 45 at this point.

    T.... P....

    +ShortFingeredShreder 44 right now I think

  26. b.... ....

    Outstanding!

  27. j.... ....

    i love how she rolls her eyes, good video op

  28. A.... k....

    Listen to the song and try to understand my joke.

  29. x.... ....

    Ummm....she just happens to have the same tattoo as Courtney Jaye then?

    x.... ....

    She IS Courtney Jaye.



    Isn’t she?

  30. S.... V....

    They should call this the married song.

  31. S.... V....

    I'm betting he's hit that. The road is a lonely place. :)

  32. A.... k....

    Mm no, I'm pretty sure that's not Courtney Jaye.

  33. p.... ....

    Courtney Jaye?

  34. p.... ....

    courtney jaye....shes like a folk singer or something....she was with him when i saw him in march

  35. K.... K....

    Who is she? She is totally awesome!

  36. b.... ....

    he quit coke

  37. K.... F....

    i guess she let him inside.

    K.... F....

    Kevin Foster 🤣🤣🤣

  38. W.... ....

    who said this wasn't some of his unreleased stuff I haven't seen him do these beats on his actually tour could be that he was doing some unrealeased more musical pieces for the you know RADIO. Many musicians do that. Don't see how come its that big a deal and I don't think he lost anything XD

  39. L.... ....

    Stephen Lynch is a genious. I enjoy making funny songs to, but not to that level lol. check em out if you like

  50. k.... ....

    LOL, thanks opieradio! That was great. And cudos to the artists.

  51. J.... S....

    Is this a new sound that Lynch is doing, or did he just bring in the banjo for this appearance? I really like it though, it has an Avett Brothers, folksy kinda sound with the instruments and their harmonizing.

  52. t.... b....

    I just realized that from a certain angel Lynch looks like Chael Sonnen.

  53. 4.... ....

    mandolin*

  54. c.... k....

  77. I.... F....

    Stephen Lynch's first CD mentioned O&A. The shouts from the crowd about O&A and Bowling Song got me curious. I've been a fan ever since I first listened.

    THANK YOU Opie for uploading Lynch for us. I really do appreciate it. Nothing like some haha to start your day.

  83. e.... ....

    wtf is this comment

  84. M.... B....

    75% of the album is solid, good stuff. I am very turned off with the female harmony stuff. I only like two songs with her. The rest i find awkward

  85. k.... ....

    NICE ONE OPIE MUSIC WILL GET YOU UP ON THE YOUTUBE FRONTPAGE!!! WE BEEEELLLLLLIIIIIIEEEEEEVEEEE IN YOU!

  86. C.... T....

    I didn't like the new Stephen Lynch album either, but that's just because I didn't think it was funny lol I didn't mind that it was softer, just didn't think it was funny.

  87. k.... ....

    I don't like the latest Lynch album. Too soft. I liked The Craig Machine way more.
