Don't Go
Hot House Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's filling up my senses
And the sun is shining down
On the blossoms in the avenue.
There's a buzzing fly hanging
Around the bluebells and the daisies
And there's a lot more loving left in this world.
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
And I lie on warm and soft sancly beaches
And my toes are submerged in the water
And it feels good.
Children playing building castles on the shoreline
Like a painted little love and lord
It feels so fine.
Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
Uh Huh
Uh Huh
There's white horses and they're
Coming at me and they face now
And there's a blue sirocco
Blowing warm into my face.
The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges
The cars going by with smiles in the windows.
There's a black cat Iying in the
Shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat keeps telling me
That love is on it's way. Yeah
There's a black cat Iying in the
Shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat tells me that
Love is on it's way.
Don't go
Don't ieave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
Stick around and laugh a while. - Don't go! -
Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
Uh huh
Uh huh
Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
The lyrics to Hot House Flowers' "Don't Go" paint a vivid picture of a beautiful summer day, filled with nature and joy. The smell of fresh cut grass and the warmth of the sun are described as filling up the singer's senses, while a buzzing fly hangs around flowers like bluebells and daisies. The chorus repeatedly pleads for someone not to leave, to stick around and enjoy the moment. The second verse mentions lying on the beach with toes in the water, watching children play and feeling a sense of contentment. The bridge of the song describes a busy street, with cars and smiling faces, and a black cat lying near a gate post with a message of love.
Overall, the song appears to be about the fleeting nature of happiness and the desire to hold onto it as long as possible. The singer seems to be enjoying a beautiful day and doesn't want it to end, begging someone not to leave and encouraging them to stick around and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Bumped into Hothouse Flowers one night at a hotel in the Docklands when I was working up that way. Got drinking and ended up having a sing song with them on the piano in the bar. Liam is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, a real old soul. Not an ounce of self importance about him and genuinely friendly to everybody. I was very impressed with Liam and the band and had a great time. A top man.
