Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - The Longest Time Lyrics






If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's how you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when your gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh...!

Thank you, Thank you very much
I'd like to take this opportunity
To remind everyone, that right now
There are hundreds of thousands of people
All over the world!

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes The Longest Time Comments
  1. J.... L....

    Not a fan of this song, unless it's done the gimme way!

  2. D.... B....

    What does he babble in the start? Does it even mean anything?

  3. C.... L....

    Yellocard version's better than this.

    C.... L....

    theirs blows - can't stand the damn english accents; doesn't work in punk. and the fucking thing is only a minute.

  4. 6.... ....

    Love the Naked Raygun bit at the beginning.

    6.... ....

    Stiff Little Fingers

    6.... ....

    Yeah, that's SLF, Suspect Device, not Naked Raygun.

  5. H.... F....

    :'D
    Beautiful.

  6. L.... R....

    Sus sus sus sus sus sus sus suspect device!

  7. B.... T....

    whats that last bit about? millions of people in the world , and stuff. that sounds like it might be a really  positive thing that i could use, so pls anybody help explain?

    B.... T....

    +Benjamin Travis its part of their sense of humor, they like to say random things that dont make any sense, for instance if you notice sometimes before they play a song they will say, "This is a cover song, by the way." All he said was, "I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that right now there are hundreds of thousands of people all over the world." That's the joke. We know there are hundreds thousands of people all over the world.

    B.... T....

    Benjamin Travis.. The song is about catching feelings for a person and being apprehensive due to being guarded emotionally. I think that is why that last part is so funny because to me they are suggesting that there are so many more fish in the sea so it foolish to put all of your eggs in one basket.

    B.... T....

    "Any old folks in the audience? Are you guys acquainted? No? This one's for you!"

    B.... T....

    @Dale Gribble The best was when they referred to the Beatles as "B-list material" lol

    B.... T....

    it is what it is.

  8. S.... M....

    Best Gimmes cover. I love the original, but this one is at least 5 times better.

    Shows the true potential of this band.

    S.... M....

    I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry is my favorite, but this is the second.

    S.... M....

    5 times better? Than Billy Joel? Jesus christ, get a grip. I like them equal which is incredibly high praise considering it's Billy fucking Joel.

    S.... M....

    This band shows the potential of songs.

  9. I.... L....

    I think this was the Lemonheads?

    I.... L....

    Billy Joel

  10. T.... G....

    Hillarious 

  11. c.... ....

    and let none survive

  12. K.... S....

    They could do an entire album of Billy Joel covers.

    K.... S....

    Kyle Smith please!

  13. c.... ....

    I just discovered this band a couple of days ago and I love them. They don't just take a song and thrash it up, they improve upon it.

  14. W.... S....

    this group is pretty impressive considering they've down covers of songs most groups would go near with 20ft pole such as good bye earl

    W.... S....

    William Schnabel they made Goodbye Earl epic

  15. M.... J....

    Your comment just screams "I'm retarded"

  16. B.... r....

    Охренно :)

  17. e.... ....

  19. I.... T....

    fucker!!

  20. S.... ....

    Suspect device come intro...niente male!!!

  21. J.... S....

    Maybe this won't last very long, but you feel so right (and) I could be wrong. Who knows how much longer we'll go on on - maaaaybe I'll be sorry when your gone. - I'll take my chances.

  22. r.... m....

    well ta hell with him

  23. R.... ....

    Cant wait to see em at O2 Islington next month. Fat Mike in a hawaiian shirt, how does it get better?

  24. a.... ....

    love the stiff little finger start!

  25. A.... S....

    just searched it. that was fuckin great. thanks.

  26. M.... ....

    This song is a little more bittersweet without the final verse... I think I like it better.

  27. G.... ....

    cool version

  28. j.... ....

    i like this and the original. this version is obviously faster and more rockerish. but Billy Joels original was pretty dam good too.

  29. C.... J....

    this kicks billy joels ass!

  30. T.... B....

    80's Billy Joel Doowop Sucks!

  31. T.... D....

    I can't hear any version of this song without wishing it was "Graduate on time" performed by "the Friars" (from the University of Michigan)

  32. O.... ....

    @ntfoemy That's their style. A lot of their songs are like that. It's what makes em AMAZING!! :D

  33. V.... ....

    "Inflammable material is planted in my head
    It's a suspect device that has left 2000 dead"?

    Not sure if that is right but it's some Stiff Little Fingers.

  34. B.... ....

    speak english you fuckers

  35. J.... ....

    "I would like to take this oppertunity to remind everyone that right now there are hundreds of thousands of people all over the world" LMAO XD
