Night After Night
Gardner And Boult Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We made out alright
Another London night
Running through the streets again
Morning on the rise

A stolen grin we look for sin
Yeah I know you want me
Caught up in the London nights
Wild eyed, the lights burn bright
Gotta get in all the fun
Before the dark is done

We stumble into a pub
So drunk on love
Looking like we’re meant to be
It must be fate sort of

A stolen grin we look for sin
Yeah I know you want me
You’re standing there on the corner
Let’s do this again
Yeah I know you’ll haunt me

Caught up in the London nights
Wild eyed, the lights burn bright
Gotta get in all the fun
Before the dark is done

oooh oooh ooohhh
It’s gonna catch up to me
oooh oooh ooohhh
It’s gonna catch up to me
oooh oooh ooohhh
These nights are brief
oooh oooh ooohhh

Caught up in the London nights
Wild eyed, the lights burn bright
Caught up in the London nights

Another London night




Another London night
Another London night

It seems like the couple is enjoying the freedom and thrill of being out late in the city. The mention of "Morning on the rise" indicates that their escapades stretch into the early hours, further amplifying the sense of exhilaration and youth.


The lines "A stolen grin we look for sin, Yeah I know you want me" suggest a playful and mischievous attitude between the singers.

It's apparent that the singer is aware of their partner's desires and reciprocates the attraction.


As the song progresses, the couple "stumble into a pub" and are "drunk on love". This illustrates their carefree and uninhibited state, where they appear to be lost in the joy of being together.
