One More Night
Cheap and Nasty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to hang around with you no more
You just wanna drink 'til 4 in the morning
Then you wake up feeling sad and sore
I won't do it
I've got a job and shit to write
Shows to play and take care of my wife
I'm not a part of that stupid life
I won't do it
I'm not saying you can't
I'm just saying it ain't my thing
I'm not saying you can't
I'm just saying it ain't my thing
No more
There's better ways to waste my time
It's not a crime to be alone
Please leave me alone with this, don't have the nerve for it
I wanna be on my own
I'm not gonna hang around with you no more
I don't give a shit what you did with your garden
I'm not gonna hide that I'm really bored
I won't do it
It's really cool that your kid can walk
I also loved the 80 pictures that you showed me
Please tell me more about the time she barfed
on't do it
I'm not saying you can't
I'm just saying it ain't my thing
I'm not saying you can't
I'm just saying it ain't my thing
No more
I don't seem to have any regular friends
They're either alcoholics or parents
Wanna hang around with some normal dudes again
There's better ways to waste my time
It's not a crime to be alone




Please leave me alone with this, don't have the nerve for it
I wanna be on my own

Overall Meaning

The song "One More Night" by Cheap and Nasty is an emotional account of a cold winter where the singer is lost and feeling alone. The first stanza sets the scene with the harsh winter weather and the metaphorical lack of a "home" to keep the fire. The woman he's with is described as a "night queen" who exudes power and confidence but also a hold over him that he regrets. The line "I can't tell my wrongs from right, I shoulda left you alone" highlights his struggle to escape her grasp.


The chorus repeats the imagery of the dial tone and shadows, emphasizing the feeling of separation and loneliness. He can't forget her even when he tries, which shows his struggle to move on. The lyrics "I said I give you all the love you took away from me" reveals his resentment for her actions even though he's still drawn to her. The repetition of "ice box" reinforces the chilling effect she has on him and how he needs her despite everything.

Cold transition from the summertime
A sudden and unpleasant change in the weather


Seein' all these leaves make her wanna leave
The falling leaves make her want to leave (me or the place)


Can't stop the sands of time
It is impossible to stop time from passing


Just wish you'd have some courtesy for where you stand on lines
I wish she would be more considerate of others and not cut in line


I'm hoping you still call on me when you land in the 9
I hope she will contact me once she arrives (presumably from a trip) at station number 9


Hello?
I am answering the phone


Where you at?
Where are you located right now?
