Seven Nights Seven Days Lyrics

Oh my darlin' I'll go down and commute
Until one hundred souls
There's a fire on the moon
I'll be over the line, I'll be under the spell
I'll be the comeback king
On his way home from hell

Seven nights, seven days
Seven wishes that will bury this place
Another reason not to get out of bed

Show me the way brother,
Give me a sign sister
I'm not the only one who's waiting to be born
I see the day comin',
I see the time runnin' out
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn

Oh my darlin' all my sympathy's gone
And my sunsets are strange
My time's gettin' on
They'll rip me to shreds like it's never been seen
'Cause I never convinced them that I meant what I mean

Seven nights, seven days
Seven wishes that will bury this place
Another reason not to get out of bed

Show me the way brother,
Give me a sign sister
I'm not the only one who's waiting to be born
I see the day comin',
I see the time runnin' out
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn

Seven nights, seven days
Seven wishes that will bury this place
Another reason not to get out of bed
Another reason not to, another reason not to,
Another reason not to, another reason not to,
Another reason not to get out of bed

Show me the way brother,
Give me a sign sister
I'm not the only one who's waiting to be born
I see the day comin',
I see the time runnin' out
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn
I see all of my dreams ragged and torn

Seven Nights Seven Days

This was the first single from The Fratellis third album, which came five years after their previous effort, Here We Stand. Tensions in the band caused their split in 2009, but in 2013 the Glasgow trio got back together for a few gigs, which led to the We Need Medicine album.

Lead singer Jon Fratelli describes this song as "sort of autobiographical." It's an upbeat track with downbeat lyrics of broken dreams and finding the strength to face the day.

In our 2013 interview , Jon stated: "The character in that song sounds like he's in a desperate place and needs some hope from somewhere. I guess we've all felt like that at times."

The video follows a bedraggled clown who torments his audience. He is beaten and scorned, but redeemed when he finds a female clown who becomes his partner. Jon Fratelli told us about the clip:

"It's really just trying to convey the idea of someone who finds themselves in the wrong time, trying desperately to perform for people who don't understand him. Clowns being 'old fashioned' as a form of entertainment seemed to tell that story well."

Halloween Blues Lyrics

Halloween Blues

The Fratellis are a Glasgow 3-piece that have embraced traditional Rock music. This song from their album pays homage to the early years of Rock. "I can't pretend not to be obsessed with just the simplicity of all of that," says their frontman Jon Fratelli . "It just continually hits me - any time I play an old record, whether it's something from Sun or something similar it seems like it would have been nice to have been around in such simple times. And 'Halloween Blues' is just a nod to that."

Moriarty's Last Stand Lyrics

Moriarty's Last Stand

In our 2013 interview with lead singer Jon Fratelli , we asked him if the titular Moriarty referred to Sherlock Holmes' arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty or Dean Moriarty, a central character in Jack Kerouac's 1957 semi-autobiographical novel On the Road. His reply: "I've forgotten... probably Dean Moriarty, which is funny as I'm not a fan of that book!"

The parallels in the lyrics certainly suggest that Fratelli, along with other songwriters like Bob Dylan and Al Stewart, was influenced by Kerouac and his most famous novel. The book focuses on the hedonistic adventures of a group of friends and their sexual conquests. The song seemingly echoes the book's bisexual themes, particularly when the persona tells a girl that she "makes me want to gnaw on a bone and my jaw is in very much need of attention," which serves as innuendo for fellatio. Likewise the song makes reference to parties and subsequent disillusionment, other major themes of the novel.

This appears as a track on the deluxe edition of the band's second album, which turned out to be their last before a 5-year break. Jon Fratelli says that the challenges of constant touring took their toll on the band, leading to a breakup.

Moriarty's is also the name of a bar in Jon Fratelli's hometown of Cumbernauld.
