Half past twelve and I'm watching the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing outside my window
As I whistle round my room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer

Chorus
# Gimme gimme gimme
A man after midnight #
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
A man after midnight
# Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day #

Movie stars find the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV, I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see
No-one in sight
* There's not a soul out there
No-one to hear my prayer *

Chorus X 2

Gimme gimme etc
