After three consecutive busy nights on the sea wall repairs here at Dawlish (just in front of our house) it really seems like it’s all night long….

Well, my friends, the time has come
Raise the lid on what aint fun
We know there’s work to be done
But why go on and on?

Everybody whinge, let’s all take a stance
Can’t get lost in wild romance
We’d like to sleep just like you, or siesta, whatever
Come on and cringe along
Desperate to sleep like you, or siesta, forever
Come on and sing along

All night long, all night, all night long, all night
All night long, all night, all night long, oh yeah

Hear the thrum frum about forty feet
Men in orange making new concrete
Life was good when we could sleep
Now those days are long gone

Feel it in your heart, cannot be consoled
Lights and engines take control
Tides keep going and coming, no resta, forever
Since they came along
Orange Army keep on coming, no resta, forever
Come on and sing my song

All night long, all night long, yeah
All night long, yeah, all night long…..

Everyone you meet they’re pile-driving, indiscreet,
All night long, yeah
I said, everyone you meet they’re pile-driving a hundred feet,
All night long, hard to be patient, aint no good

‘Cause sometimes it’s all night, all night,
All night, all night, all night
All night, all night, all night
