Oingo Boingo - Stay Lyrics






This is not the first time—you tried to get away
This is not a party—where people know your name
This is not a classroom—with teacher at the board
This is not a cat show—with prizes at the door

Go—don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night

This is not a horserace—where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral—with mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom—where everything's all right
This is not a prison—with terror through the night

Go—don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night

    This was massive here, but hardly mentioned on Wikipedia. Was it just not a hit in America? I’d say it was bigger than any other hit they had here

    This is not the first time you tried to get away,
    This is not a party where people know your name,
    This is not a classroom with teacher at the board,
    This is not a game show with prizes at the door.
    Go, don't you go,
    Won't you stay with me one more day?
    If we get through one more night,
    If we get through one more night,
    This is not a horse race where winners beat the time,
    This is not a funeral with mourners in a line,
    This is not a sitcom where everything's alright,
    This is not a prison with terror through the night.
    Go... don't you go,
    Won't you stay with me one more day?
    If we get through one more night,
    If we get through one more night,
    This is not the first time you tried to get away,
    This is not a party where people know your name,
    This is not a classroom with teacher at the board,
    This is not a game show with prizes at the door.
    Go... don't you go,
    Won't you stay with me one more day?
    If we get through one more night,
    If we get through one more night,
    This is not the first time you tried to get away,
    This is not a party where people know your name,
    Oh... where people know your name,

    A fantastic article from 1986 describing the poetry behind this video...

    -- "Stay," the new video from Oingo Boingo, might seem to tone down the group's trademark wackiness, but look closer. It's still there, just buried a bit deeper.

    Set (seemingly) in a mossy Southern roadhouse in the late '40s, "Stay" depicts the band as performers in the club. Whole families, young and old, seem to have come in from their farms to hear this Oingo Boingo, but look through the doors as they enter -- you can see tremendous glacial peaks. The surprises extend to the music as well, as lead singer Danny Elfman's sometimes strident voice suddenly melts into the melodic and hummable chorus of "Stay."

    From the opening moments of the clip, when his shadow looms over a young couple's table, Elfman dominates the video. Looking like a younger, less war- weary Johnny Lydon, Elfman has a similarily sly and mischievous expression and a voice that's better trained and controlled.

    Sharing the spotlight with Elfman are several sets of holographic ghosts, just like the ones in Disney's Haunted House. These friendly ghosts, in late- 19th-century garb, seem to dance through the roadhouse, while the band can be seen right through them. By the end of the video, everyone in the place is singing along with Oingo Boingo. Once you've seen "Stay," you may be, too.

  35. R.... P....

    Saudades da minha infância ❤❤

  36. U.... f....

    Eu sempre gostei dessa musica mas nunca me toquei que era de uma tal de uma Oingo Boingo.

  37. M.... ....

    Cara, quanto brasileiro. Eu adoro como tem algumas ótimas músicas que foram mais reconhecidas no Brasil que fora dele

  38. R.... N....

    Oingo Boingo, The Rainmakers, Warren Zevon — the kind of rock 'n' roll that I like.

  47. M.... R....

    😍😍😍

  48. P.... B....

    I almost broke my phone when I pounded on that thumbs-up so hard...I can’t hit it hard enough to express how much I love this song. Danny Elfman is a true musical genius, with a voice nobody has ever come close to, and probably never will.
    I could stare at that gorgeous face singing...forever. Damn.

  49. K.... T....

    umas das melhores musicas de Rock

  50. t.... t....

    Eu Ricardo Brito do pantanal louco crazy

  52. F.... H....

    Puxa nao sabia que o clip dessa musica era cheia de fantasma O.o
    Kkkkkk. Ainda se pedem essa nas radios q tocam retro !

  53. J.... ....

    Why are all the comments in Spanish?

  54. K.... O....

    Quem veio por causa da referência a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure curte aí

  55. A.... F....

    Danny Elfman faz músicas pra filmes. Não fizeram um filme pra essa música..

  67. D.... L....

    Só vim por causa do JoJo

  68. F.... J....

    Lots of Brazilians here, mainly because official distribution there was lame... But they had a GREAT black market that knew damn well what albums to rip into cassette format into pretty decent knockoffs. 80s and 90s piracy in Brazil was a BIG thing!

  69. d.... f....

    JOOOO JOOOO!!!

  70. C.... H....

    Foi daqui que JoJo tirou o nome Oingo Boingo?

  71. W.... O....

    This put a big goofy smile on my face. The eighties had such happy songs.

  72. D.... L....

    Eu fico surpreso que têm mais BRs aqui que qualquer coisa... Orgulho. :,)

  73. S.... A....

    Take note, that's how you make a piece of art that is also a great

    radio single. elfman genius

  74. N.... B....

    JOJO!!!!!!!!

  75. A.... M....

    Isso é que música de verdade....2019...👏👏👏👏👏

  76. D.... S....

    🙌🙌🙌🙌 amo minha geração

  77. d.... c....

    Puta qque te Pariu, como era bom ouvir estas músicas tocando nas rádios. Pegava estrava e acabava viajando em dobro. Bons tempos que quem viveu não se esquece jamais.

  78. S.... I....

    0:26 cracks me the heck up. That face.

  79. D.... ....

    Donnie darko anyone?

  80. I.... R....
