Please Don’t Go

Lyrics

I wish that you would stop, with all these games,
I just don’t know if I, can cope or play,
‘Cause I’ve seen it all before,
And yes, I am sure,
That it won’t end nicely, for anyone.
I think that we need some time,
So that I can see clearly,
Because this could be the end of you and me.

I’ve had enough of all these games, no I don’t know!
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go!
I’ve had enough of all these games, no I don’t know!
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go!

They said that we’d be together forever but I know,
That we could never settle down and make something good –
Outta what we’ve found, and this crazy place –
Leaves us all making massive mistakes,
I mean everyone is human, and nobody is perfect,
If we were meant to be god like we wouldn’t be on this earth, yeah?
So fucking up is natural I suppose,
But we’ve been a fuck up and everybody knows,
You’ve been around the block,
Sucked I don’t know how much cock,
Made my heart as solid as a rock,
Only for you to come back along pointing at the clock,
Telling me that we’ve had our good times,
Only for me to go and get lost in my rhymes,
I must be blind ‘cause I just don’t see all of the signs,
And then it is all over to the sounding of chimes.

I’ve had enough of all these games, no I don’t know!
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go!
I’ve had enough of all these games, no I don’t know!
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go!

Please don’t go,
Please don’t go,
I don’t want you to stay,
But I’ll wait forever and a day,
Until you come back and you say,
That you want me to come play,
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go.

Oh no,
Please don’t go!

I’ve had enough of all these games, no I don’t know!
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go!
I’ve had enough of all these games, no I don’t know!
I don’t want you to stay, but please don’t go!

Description

A humming sound can be heard, which is followed shortly by a few chords being strummed. The sound of beat-boxing can soon be heard. This has built up a nice atmosphere which leads into the first vocals; a steady tune is now played by the guitar.
As the verse finishes, the atmosphere that has been created disappears as all of the music other than a simple guitar playing disappears. Then the chorus is sung for the first time in the song. This then leads into a rapped verse. The looped pedalled music comes back into action to help bring up the pace of the music again.
Then the verse finishes, and again it goes back to being just Sammy’s voice and the guitar. The basics. Then everything dies out. There is no sound. Sammy’s voice suddenly can be heard, and he is making an ‘OOO’ noise. This is then repeated as he makes an ‘AHH’ noise to harmonise with himself. These two noises sound again – at the same time – as Sammy takes a quick strum or two. Now as this new repeated piece of music continues to loop, Sammy sings the breakdown. Then all of the music stops again and Sammy sings over complete emptiness before reinstating the harmonies he has just created. He now sings the chorus over the harmonies and his guitar playing. The song finishes as the last words are sung, and all music stops.
