#MusicMonday – I never want you to go #PalayeRoyale

I am joining with Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek, the man behind this meme and Claire @ A Knight Reads, this week with Music Monday. So every week they just post a song they really like.

This week has been a bittersweet one and I wanted to share a song that makes me think of pre-lockdown. The last time I was out with my friends in a bar was when I went to a gig in London two weeks before lockdown! We went to Shepherd’s Bush to see Palaye Royale, a band we have loved since we saw them at Reading last year. They did not sing this song but this is the song I love the most!

The Lyrics

You fall awake again
You’re sleeping with your friends
You don’t know where it ends
Then it’s back to bed again

Love the void, my friend
You don’t know where it ends
Your time will never stop
Tick-tock on the big clock

I’ll never, never let you go
I never wanna see you low
I never want you to go
Well, one day you’ll die
But not tonight

Stop there, I won’t let you
Drop dead in your bedroom
Moonchild won’t see another day (another day)
I’m finding God in hospitals
Wild things in wicked walls
Wake up, you’ll be just fine
No, not this time

You’re back to sleep again
You’re killing all your friends
Time will never stop
Tick-tock on the big clock

I’ll never, never let you go
I never wanna see you low
I never want you to go
Well, one day you’ll die
But not to-fucking-night

Stop there, I won’t let you
Drop dead in your bedroom
Moonchild won’t see another day (another day)
I’m finding God in hospitals
Wild things in wicked walls
Wake up, you’ll be just fine
No, not this time

No, I won’t say goodnight
No, I won’t say goodnight
No, no, I won’t say goodnight
Oh, no, no, no, no
No, I won’t say goodnight

Where will I be
Floating downstream
Humming along
To the loveliest dream
Where will I be
Floating downstream
Humming along
To the loveliest slee-

Stop there, I won’t let you
Drop dead in your bedroom
Moonchild won’t see another day (another day)
I’m finding God in hospitals
Wild things in wicked walls
Wake up you’ll be just fine
No, not this time

No, I won’t say goodnight
No, I won’t say goodnight
Oh, yeah
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
No, I won’t say goodnight

Until next time xx
