Last Night
Niki & the Dove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It plays so deep inside, I didn't want you to,
Wake the lion that we hushed (wake the lion) to sleep
But its so tender that I don't care where it's leading me.
Last night, we got married in a taxi
I swear I loved you, yes I love you like there's no tomorrow
And I've got no time, for second thoughts now
Oh, my body shivers. (oh oh uh)
I've got this feeling of 'tambien'
Its just that someone used to stay here (she had a)
She had a fear of getting close to the fire.
Uh its gonna break me heart, I know it.
I'm at sea now, I'm falling, baby.
Last night, we got married in a taxi
I swear I loved you, yes I love you like there's no tomorrow
And I've got no time, for second thoughts now
We got tonight and then I have to go.
Last night, we got married in a taxi
I swear I loved you, I love you like there's no tomorrow
And I've got no time, for second thoughts now
We got tonight and then I have to go.

When I heard this on Iggy's song I thought it was Something of Tegan and Sara's I had never heard before. I'm so glad I found it! I love it!

You can ALWAYS FEEL GREAT MUSIC!This for me is WAYYYY more satisfying than Iggy's song! I dont mean that with any disrespect whatsoever. That's how I got here in the first place. I just feel like it gives me chills. AND THAT SOUND!!! Simply beautiful...

The vintage composition and instrumentation of this track had me thinking that it was a song from the 80s when I first heard it from Iggy's sampling. Amazing track. This individuality and experimentation is what the music industry is in a dire need of right now.
