Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day.

Sorry to drag you away
Thank God you did, this used to be
A quiet wee island
Regretting you stayed away so long?
No, I'm regretting I never knew
What was here
What?

This plave the Taverna. I always
Meant to come back and build it
Some day, but she beat me to it.

Do you prefer buildings to people?
What?!
Tell me something about my mum.

Your mum was irresistible, a one-off
We talked and we fought you
Know it was me that brought her to
This island?

That wasn't the only thing you did
Was it?
Oh right, what has she told you?
Nothing. She's never mentioned you.

But you said "Mum's always talking
About her friends from the old
Days." What's going on? Sophie
Why am I here?

Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Fancy Donna with a grown-up
Daughter!
Have you got any children, Harry?
No. I haven't put myself in the path
Of paternity
It's never too late
I don't think my other half would agree
Oh you don't want children?

No, no, it's not like that. It's just that
Well, I'd have liked a daughter. I'd
Have spoiled her to bits.

Lucky thing
Is your Dad here?
I don't know.

What?
I don't know who my Dad is
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer
Can I be nosey, I'm a writer so it
Goes with the territory
Go on.

How did your mother get this place?
When I knew her
She was singing in a night-club on
The mainland.

She was left some money, in a will
We lived with an old lady when I
Was little. Her name was Sophia?
What, my Great-Aunt Sophia?
I think it must be.

But: I always heard her money
Went to: family
Wait a minute how old are you?
Twenty.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day.
