1. A hardcore … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with the name Speedway.
1. A hardcore band from Stockholm, Sweden formed in 2019 .
2. A now defunct pop-rock group formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 2001 by Jill Jackson (lead vocals) and Jim Duguid (drums). They split in 2004.
The band accquired two more members in the shape of bassist Tom Swann from Edinburgh and guitarist Dan Sells, and signed with Innocent Records in 2002, the label home to Blue and Atomic Kitten. The band supported the former on their UK tour in early 2003, and played a number of university gigs as well, and they were noted for playing one song in particular the Christina Aguilera 1999 hit Genie In A Bottle, and as a result, in September 2003, it became their first single as a double-a-side, with another song, Save Yourself and hit #10 in the UK singles chart.
Their second single, Can't Turn Back hit #12 in February 2004, by which point the music industry were citing them as a modern day Pretenders because of their unique pop rock sound which had a feminine touch courtesy of Jill. Their third single, In & Out, hit #33 in June, and their album Save Yourself was released just after Can't Turn Back came out, sadly, it didn't achieve as well as expected. Speedway thus left Innocent Records after their first UK tour.
Jill Jackson is also known for dating Fame Academy Winner Alex Parks and they performed two songs - Don't Let It Get To You, and Stuble - in March 2005, in Bedford

Seven Nights
Speedway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I'd like to learn to reach you,
If I had the time to show you,
Then maybe I could get to know you.
It's hard to understand,
Why you continue to say you can't now baby.
Seven nights a week I lie and think about you,
Till I fall asleep and then I dream about you,
All day, all night, though I know I can't have you,
It's not fair, not right,
Won't stop me thinking about you,
Seven nights a week.
There are times when I get lonely,
Is it so hard for you to phone me,
I'm holding on but won't be here forever,
I'm just a girl who needs someone beside her.
i think that I deserve just a little bit of love now baby.
CHORUS
I think I'm wasting my time.
I think that the time has come when I,
Should put you out of my mind, can't lie,
It's not working coz all I've done is cry,
I can't hide, now there's no way I can say Bye Bye.
CHORUS (x2)
The song "Seven Nights" by Speedway is about someone who is deeply in love with someone else, but that love is not reciprocated. The singer wishes they had the time and opportunity to express their feelings to the person they love who seems to keep pushing them away. The lyrics express the singer's confusion as to why the person they love denies having any feelings for them. Despite this, the singer can't stop thinking about this person, even dreaming about them every night. The singer accepts that they might never be able to have the person they love, but still hopes for just a little bit of love in return. In the end, the singer realizes that they might have to let go, but it won't be easy.
The song is a heartfelt ballad that many listeners can relate to. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning and heartbreak that is common in unrequited love. The song's instrumentation and melody match the lyrics' somber tone and create a sad yet beautiful atmosphere.
Line by Line Meaning
If I had the time to teach you,
If only I had enough time to show you the things I want you to know.
How I'd like to learn to reach you,
I wish I could learn how to connect with you better.
If I had the time to show you,
Given a chance, I'll demonstrate to you what I'm trying to say.
Then maybe I could get to know you.
Perhaps, after all, I'll finally get to know you properly.
It's hard to understand,
It's puzzling why...
Why you continue to say you can't now baby.
...even though you keep insisting that you can't do it, baby.
Seven nights a week I lie and think about you,
Every night, without fail, I lay awake and ponder about you.
Till I fall asleep and then I dream about you,
And when I finally doze off, you continue to be in my thoughts.
All day, all night, though I know I can't have you,
I think about you all day and night, and I recognize the reality that we can't be together.
It's not fair, not right,
It's unjust and unreasonable,
Won't stop me thinking about you,
But nevertheless, I can't help but think of you
Seven nights a week.
every single night of the week.
There are times when I get lonely,
There are moments when I feel alone without you.
Is it so hard for you to phone me,
Don't you find it difficult to contact me?
I'm holding on but won't be here forever,
I'm holding on, but my patience won't last forever
I'm just a girl who needs someone beside her.
I'm just a lady who desires someone to be with her.
i think that I deserve just a little bit of love, now baby.
I believe I'm worthy of a little bit of love, don't you think so, baby?
I think I'm wasting my time.
I fear I'm utilizing my time on something that's not going to happen.
I think that the time has come when I,
I suppose that the time has arrived when I,
Should put you out of my mind, can't lie,
Should eliminate you from my mind, I cannot deceive myself anymore.
It's not working coz all I've done is cry,
My attempts have proved to be ineffective because I've only cried.
I can't hide, now there's no way I can say Bye Bye.
I can't mask my emotions anymore, and there's no chance of me saying goodbye.
CHORUS (x2)
The chorus repeats twice.
