Police, The - Bring On The Night Lyrics






The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
[repeat and fade]

    _ALL THREE_ of 'em are great here! AND on SO many other tunes!! This era was right on the BRILLIANT cusp, of the boomer / gen X'er transition in music! lt was a _blast_ to see King Crimson, or Genesis one night, then see Talking Heads, or Police the next! Thank You LORD ...for putting me where You did! xD

  10. M.... L....

    Just brilliant 40 years later.🎸Bass Riff from sting &Copeland on the drums.🎵
    Think Copeland had F*** off you C**t on his drum skins directed at Sting..6 years of world dominance but too much infighting between Sting&Stewart.I was lucky to have seen them on GITM world tour in 81.Back to back world tours ❤ Still my Favourite Band today in 2020 .

    Ce qu'il y a chez police c'est une ligne de bass simple et une ligne batterie complexe, grâce au talent de Stewart copeland. un des meilleur batteur de notre génération.

  18. L.... C....

    Monica ma quante volte l'abbiamo ascoltata sull mio Px bianco ora invento la macchina del tempo per rivederti

  20. M.... O....

    I can totally see how the police have influenced kings of leon especially on this beauty

  21. B.... M....

    Let the night come,. burn it all down, burn it all the way down, let the embers glow and fade.

  22. c.... ....

    One could say moderm music started from the second album of ths amazingly fresh trio...mesmerized & delighted

  23. D.... R....

    The Gustavo cerati version in spanish is awesome as well

  24. N.... P....

    I listened to this song every day for over a year after my father died. I don't think we ever get over the death of a loved one. I think we just learn to live with it. Thanks

    N.... P....

    I'm very sorry for the sadness. Just remembering a very bad day. Thanks, Nelson

  25. J.... E....

    This song is amazing. Shows that The Police had a quite varied sound. Every song didn't sound the same.

  26. T.... U....

    cocaine sound

  27. J.... G....

    Great stuff, The Police used to be my favorite band, they are still GREAT, but, I have loved Heavy metal more for years. I STILL LOVE so many songs by the Police. And, this song "Bring on the night" just flowing along, and I love it.

  28. T.... T....

    510 idiots, or Copland, Sting, and Summers keep hitting thumbs down

  29. A.... K....

    The best song by The Police

    One of the best songs and albums ever recorded.

    Perfect song to go to bed and...

  32. M.... ....

    Flamenco Reggae. Who’d a thunk it 😂. This song has everything going on.

  33. J.... L....

    2020 anyone?

  34. F.... ....

    Fucking cosmic!! My favorite alien band ever, just perfect, awesome!!

  35. c.... ....

    God this is great. Hadn't heard it in many years. I think we took all of the incredible music back then for granted, to a certain extent.

  36. t.... b....

    Gustavo Cerati made a perfect version of this song

  37. D.... S....

    Oh, the boys were playing around in the beginning of a song again.

  38. I.... ....

    Some of Copelands finest work

  44. K.... T....

    And now we know why Andy replaced Henry Padovani on guitar.

    K.... T....

    I think we knew it on the first album...

  45. k.... c....

    when the sun goes up, you're searching for a love
    so your heart won't lead you to anyone
    when the sun goes down, i know what you become
    you become awake, unlike the rest of us...

  46. d.... ....

    Playful guitar riffs... so nice!

  47. C.... B....

    I know my brothers got his master blaster playing the police & designing something on his drawing board up in haven

  48. S.... ....

    Dark subject matter to infectiously catchy and brilliant music - the way it should be.

  49. S.... F....

    Por algo gustavo acá no tocó la guitarra...el tipo es vivo..maún hoy los acordes de ésta canción son idescifrables...

  50. A.... L....

    One of the best songs ever.

    A different Pain version of The great gig in the sky. Pain is a beautiful thing to experience. GOD is Great.

  63. A.... ....

    The Weeknd brought me here

  64. J.... P....

    The Bible of awesome shit....period

  65. L.... ....

    You guys know this was written about mass-murderer Gary Gilmore, right? His execution in the 70s was a big thing and Stingers wrote this, conjecturing what he was thinking the night of his execution. Weirder still, the guy that came up with Nike's "Just Do It" slogan said he got it from Gilmore when he was asked if he had any final words to which he replied, "Just do it."

  66. M.... P....

    J'adore cette musique <3
    Elle me fait penser à mon futur ex <3

  67. S.... E....

    Excellent band love there music and songs..

  68. a.... ....

    What a band, what a song, woooow

  69. R.... H....

    Andy Summers is one of the best guitar player ever. It's a shame that he's kind of underrated. One of my favorite.

    R.... H....

    He had so many different tones he played in so many of their songs, and mastered them all.

    R.... H....

    stu copeland rates on all time drummers list too. the definition of "power trio".

  70. T.... H....

    Insuperable.

  71. W.... C....

    best bassline ever

  72. E.... B....

    In meinen Augen einer der besten Songs von Police!! Mensch, wo sind die Jahre geblieben, als wir in der Disco zu Police getanzt haben?

  73. J.... W....

    477 down votes. Wow. How special are ye? Du yu like thokolate? Du yu lik yur muddah pantie? Du yu like pwiests? Du yu hate music? Yu like thmall boyth in panties? Paedophileth? Anyone who down votes the Police has a personality disorder and I shouldn't mock them. Morons.

  74. L.... D....

    Esta canción es cheverisima en ingles o Español

  75. K.... H....

    I can't get over how brilliant this band was and how timeless this music is. And Stewart Copeland's drumming!

  76. D.... F....

    The future is but a question mark

  77. j.... f....

    When I think of rocks greatest trio's I naturally think of Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Rush and ZZ Top....but standing shoulder to shoulder with them all is the Police. The Police have sold over 75 million records. That's more than any of the above bands and almost as much as all of them combined.

  78. R.... P....

    Me quedo con el cover de Cerati

    R.... P....

    Tributo a The Police, Outlandos d'America
    ...

  79. S.... B....

    Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland and Gordon Sumner(Sting) work like a perfect machine together. However, the standouts are Summers and Copeland here.

  80. k.... ....

    I love the energy in this...

  81. A.... ....

    That poignant sensation in your guts when a tune takes you way back you wish you could return to with more life experience...

    A.... ....

    I would rule the world, lol.

  82. G.... C....

    Un miracolo di idee scarne e sensazionali allo stesso tempo : le atmosfere evocano un 'evento del destino che aspettavi da tanto tempo e che ora fai fatica a comprenderne l'accadimento.

  83. M.... D....

    Or simply said,what more could ask for..

  84. A.... C....

    Traerme la noche

  85. G.... M....

    una y mil veces me quedo con la versión de Cerati!!!

  86. r.... ....

    Bought this album in when i was 11 yrs old, mesmerized me into loving The Police for the rest of my life. Absolute genius band and a masterpiece of an album.

  87. K.... G....

    Came here because of adaptation , who else?

  88. a.... l....

    Fleetwood mac ripped this intro ...White winged dove so obvious...

  89. E.... E....

    Ohh Fuck Yea...

  90. J.... S....

    “I couldn’t stand another hour of daylight..”
    Echos while I sleep

  91. 1.... ....

    Andy did this on 12 string acoustic , absolutely gorgeous.

  92. m.... ....

    the alum that changed my life

  93. R.... L....

    This song shows how, from the mid 70's to mid 80's .. all he best bands were reggae based and influenced.

    This is a little understood and rarely recognized aspect of the entire NY CGGB's, UK punk, and everything that followed such as these guys movement.

  94. E.... S....

    Reggeapunky tonight.

  95. L.... J....

    Seventeen

  96. C.... G....

    Best Police song.
