All Night Long
Love Songs Vol.1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I First Met You
Way Back When I Knew
We Had Nothin' To Say
But It Was Alright Tonight
Where've You Gone Now?
I Hear You're Living Up Town
Runnin' Round Runnin' Away
All Night Long

The Two Of Us We Said
They Always Talk Too Much
Did You Hear Them?
Callin' Your Name
I Wanted So Much More
Than To Be A Martyr For A Dying Cause
When I Met You
When I First Met You
All Night Long...Gone
She's Packed Her Bags
The Note Reads "Dear Jon"
I'm Leaving Town Soon
Wish Me Well
Off I Go...Fuck You
Your Miserable Life Here And Us Too
All Night Long I'm Thinking
What's Went Wrong...It Was Alright
I Wanted So Much More
Than To Be A Martyr For A Dying Cause
When I Met You




When I First Met You
All Night Long...Gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "All Night Long" by Love Songs Vol.1 describe a relationship that started off with little communication but was still enjoyable. The singer reminisces on their first meeting and recognizes that they didn't have much to say to each other at the time, but it was still a positive experience. However, time has passed, and the singer realizes that their partner has moved on and is living uptown, running away from their previous life. The second verse focuses on the outside world's perception of their relationship, with people talking and calling out the partner's name. The singer then discusses their desire for something more than being a martyr for a dying cause. In the final verse, the partner leaves town, leaving behind a note that reads "Dear Jon," acknowledging the singer's misery and wishing themselves well. The singer ends the song by saying, "Off I go...Fuck you."


The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and frustration with the relationship's end, but the singer also seems to be freeing themselves from the situation. The mention of being a "martyr for a dying cause" suggests that the relationship had been going nowhere for some time and had become burdensome for the singer. The use of expletives in the final line of the song indicates that the singer has moved on from the relationship and is ready to let go of any negative feelings associated with it.

From the first track it is clear that this music was retrieved from deep in the recesses of the music cabinet, dusted off, air blown and the record needle polished to provide an impeccable finish on the vinyl.....retrieving memories and capturing emotions long put away for safe keeping! Thanks for this....
