There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Savoy is an electronic trio based in Boulder, Colorado, USA. Made up by Ben Eberdt, Gray Smith and Mike Kelly, the band has played all over the United States. Their MySpace is http://www.myspace.com/savoyband, their official site at http://www.savoyband.com
2) Savoy is a Norwegian-American rock trio consisting of Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (famous from Norwegian hit machine a-ha) (vocals/guitars/bass/keyboards), Lauren Savoy (vocals/guitars) and Frode Unneland (drums/percussion/vocals).
The band has released 5 albums to date. Savoy, unlike Waaktaar-Savoy's other band a-ha, has a certain down-to-earth indie rock approach.
All songs are composed by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy with his wife Lauren Savoy. Lauren herself is known as a film maker and has, amongst other things, directed both a-ha and Savoy music videos. Frode Unneland is one of Norway's best drummers known from the Bergen music scene as drummer with Chocolate Overdose and Popium. He has also drummed for Norwegian pop sensation Sondre Lerche.
3) Savoy is a German emo band.
4) Savoy, a Romanian band, active during the Communist regime and sponsored by the Union of Young Communists. It was supposed to be the rival of dissident rock bands like Phoenix and Sfinx, it got a lot of media support. Jokes about the leader of the band concern his cheap imitation of the Dire Straits vestimentation and garments. Savoy sounded more folky and progressive rather than hard or heavy.
Daylight's Wasting
Savoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That was the place where we would meet
Outside the dog run, don't be late
Most of the time I'd sit and wait
Looking at people pass me by
A customer's bagging his supply
Just as you thought she wouldn't show
Oh, daylight's wasting
Your daylight
Yeah, I can taste it
It falls from the sky
I had a band of certain fame
"The brownstone walk ups", was our name
Singer was fair but got it wrong
He never did justice to my songs
He did more for me and that's a fact
When he went and stabbed me in the back
So, I've gotta do now, don't you know?
What I should have done five years ago
Do, his daylight's wasting
Daylight, yes, I can taste it
As it falls from the sky
Daylight's wasting, day light
Daylight
'Cause daylight's wasting
Daylight, daylight
As it falls from the sky
Daylight's wasting
Daylight
The lyrics of "Daylight's Wasting" by Savoy describe two different narratives. The first is about a rendezvous between two lovers in Washington Square, where the singer often waits for his partner to arrive. The second narrative follows the story of a band called "The Brownstone Walk Ups" and their lead singer, who the singer feels never gave his songs justice. The singer even went so far as to betray the singer, and in the end, the singer decides to take action.
In the first part of the song, the singer paints a picture of Washington Square, which is where he and his lover would meet. The square is right up the street, and there is a dog run where they agreed to wait for each other. The singer sometimes sits and waits, observing the hustle and bustle of people passing by while the customer bags his supply. Just as the singer thought his partner wouldn't show up, she comes running, and the daylight is wasting.
In the second narrative, the story revolves around "The Brownstone Walk Ups," a band that the singer used to play in. The singer of the band was fair but never did justice to the singer's songs. One day, the singer betrayed the singer and stabbed him in the back. Now, the singer decides that he must do what he should have done five years ago. Finally, he sings that daylight is wasting, and he can taste it as it falls from the sky.
Line by Line Meaning
Washington square's right up the street
Washington square is very close by
That was the place where we would meet
The square was a place of meeting
Outside the dog run, don't be late
Meeting was to take place outside the dog run and punctuality was important
Most of the time I'd sit and wait
The wait was often long for the other person to arrive
Looking at people pass me by
Passersby were often observed
A customer's bagging his supply
A seemingly normal activity going on nearby
Just as you thought she wouldn't show
The person waited long and had doubts about the other's arrival
There she comes running, don't you know?
Finally the other person arrived in a hurry
Oh, daylight's wasting
Time is running out
Your daylight
Your time
Yeah, I can taste it
The feeling that time is slipping away is very real
It falls from the sky
Time is like the light of day, it slowly fades away
I had a band of certain fame
The singer had a well-known band
"The brownstone walk ups", was our name
The name of the band was The Brownstone Walk Ups
Singer was fair but got it wrong
The singer wasn't perfect and made mistakes
He never did justice to my songs
The singer didn't perform the songs as well as the artist wanted them to be performed
He did more for me and that's a fact
The singer did help the artist in other ways
When he went and stabbed me in the back
The singer betrayed the singer
So, I've gotta do now, don't you know?
The singer has to act and not just pretend that everything is alright
What I should have done five years ago
The artist was unable to confront the singer, but now must address the situation
Daylight's wasting, daylight
Time is slipping away
Daylight
Time
'Cause daylight's wasting
Because time is running out
Daylight, daylight
Time, time
As it falls from the sky
Time fades away like the light of day
Daylight's wasting
Time is running out
Daylight
Time

It would be nice if A-ha could do a tour with all three of them doing some of their solo works. I have two of Mags albums and they are great! And then finish off the night with A-ha songs.
