Formed in 2003, One Night Only started out as a bunch of school friends ‘just making noise’ in their rural hometown of Helmsley, North Yorkshire. They went on to spend the following two years tearing the vaulted roof off the local scene with unrefined gigs showcasing punk bastard pop way beyond their tender years. It was only a matter of time before One Night Only broke out of Helmsley. They knuckled down, wrote some songs and last October Steve Lamacq began spinning the demo of ‘You And Me’, prompting the band to really take themselves seriously. One Night Only signed to Vertigo, home of Razorlight and The Killers and then hit the road for months, supporting The Enemy, Milburn and The Coral and embarked on a jaunt around the nation’s Club NMEs. They are currently on their first headline tour.
They became popular in the Netherlands when the song "Just for Tonight" was used in the tv show "Studio Sport" to accompany the highlights of Euro Football 2008. On the Last night of the Euro Football 2008 they played an Acoustic Version of 'Just for Tonight' in the Studio of 'Studio Sport'

One Night Only Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time, does not have to be on your side,
When you know home is not very far away
All we need is time
All we need is bah bah
How do you know, how do you sleep at night
If I was there, if I was there you'd see
All we need is time
All we need is bah bah
How do you know?
The lyrics of One Night Only's song "Time" seem to be about someone who is feeling alone and wants to tell a person that they are not far away and they can come back home anytime. The first verse mentions that the person doesn't have to feel alone and time does not have to dictate their actions because home is not very far away. The second verse talks about the singer's proximity and how they're not far from the person. If they were there, the person would see that all they need is time. The repetitive line "All we need is bah bah" could represent the need for comfort and reassurance.
Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of having a place to call home and the value of meaningful connections with others. The song encourages the listener to not feel alone and to remember that they have a place where they belong.
