Memory of You
Nicola Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm falling into love again
Twenty five electric angels
Are dancing in the rain
Paradise with ice cream skies
Shine lasers in the night
When I wake the colour's faded
When I lost you in Japan
For a moment I was holding your hand
But you turned and ran away
Just in time to catch the last late night train
And I wonder, do you ever wonder too?
'Cause I, hunger for the memory of you
And I wonder, do you ever wonder too?
'Cause I, hunger for the memory of you
I lie awake as day is dawning
Burning pink and white
Wondering if sheep count us when
They can't sleep at night
Second hang over today
Surfing channels till I bleach out the pain
Static on the radïo
Burn the toast and leave the tea to turn cold
And I wonder, do you ever wonder too?
'Cause I, hunger for the memory of you
And I wonder, do you ever wonder too?
'Cause I, hunger for the memory of you
And I wonder, do you ever wonder too?
'Cause I, hunger for the memory of you
And I wonder, do you ever wonder too?
'Cause I, hunger for the memory of you

However, as soon as the dream ends, the colors fade, and everything returns to black and white.

Memory of You is one of the best pop song ever written. So glad Nicola choose it to sing in this gig. Proud of her ♥️

Probably the best Girls Aloud song after Biology.
It should have been released as a single.
Peter Palmato
Easily the greatest Girls Aloud song ever created. Curious and unbelievable that it only featured two of it's members. In a much better world this would have been the A-side and it would (should) have gotten them another #1.

This girl is so under rated! What an amazing rendition of one of the best GA songs! 🐝❤️
Miranda Boutros
One of the best songs in their entire catalogue. Who knew Kim and Nic were such a force together? Underrated team. I hope they acknowledge it together sometime.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR RECORDING AND UPLOADING THIS. It's the end of the 2020 pandemic (at least the first wave) and my heart and interest in GA has been set on fire since April 1, 2020 after @popjustice tweeted a faux pic, that they also thought was real, teasing a GA reunion. I haven't been able to stop myself from immersing into old GA + Sugababes' concerts & interviews, for the last month+, since. You also took some of the BEST footage, of some of the songs , at this rare AF show, that's available on the internet - YOUR POWER ❤️❤️❤️❤️
