  20. I saw Leo Sayer live in concert last week – absolutely fantastic! Aged 74 and still singing like a teenager….rock on Leo ❤

  21. For some inexplicable reason, this song began humming through my brain this morning, on my way to work. The CD is at home but I couldn’t wait to play it, but thanks to YouTube I could. It brought back memories of my girlfriend in my teenage years whose older brother was a Leo Sayer fanatic. I love Leo Sayer too but I wish he didn’t remind me of this girl—she betrayed my trust, my first ugly dating experience. This song was beautifully written and sang; the message is not too far removed from my experience with that girlfriend—everyone in my family was opposed to my dating her because of the dishonest ways of her family but I stood my ground in loving her, only for her to prove my family right with her dishonesty.
    I had to pull over to write this, lol😂. I wonder what this is all about after 40 years.

  22. Great lyrics good days when it came out this song.

  23. Not my favourite artist but I think this is a great song. I love it only they knew they were giving it away. 5 years later she'll have 2 kids, no money and he's pissed off.

  24. Great song, great singer. Love his voice. Love a song with a story

  25. he sees her at the same time every night

    At the mexican discotheque

    She gives him french kisses

    He gives her french cigarettes

    They sit at the same table every time

    The lights are low

    But their eyes shine

    Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands

    She keeps him outta fights

    Holds on to his hand

    He whispers slowly "tonight's the night"

    Months of planning so it's gotta be right

    Under the table her bag is busting at the seams

    She made sure to bring everything

    Moonlighting

    They're leaving everything

    Moonlighting

    They're losing all their friends

    Moonlighting

    It's the only way

    It's frighening

    But it means they'll stay

    Together

    They're gonna make it together

    His blue morris van is parked in an alley

    Just by montague street

    His friend eddie he did the respray

    So he couldn't drive it all last week

    And it cost most of the money that he had saved up

    To pay eddie's receipt

    But he figures it's worth it 'cos the disguise is a must

    When they go missing they're gonna look for the van first

    She whispers slowly "it'll be alright"

    I took some cash from my building society

    And my monthy check came in just right

    If only they knew they weren't giving it away

    Moonlighting

    They're leaving everything

    Moonlighting

    They're losing all their friends

    Moonlighting

    It's the only way

    It's frighening

    But it means they'll stay

    Together

    They're gonna make it together

    9:15 monday morning at the printing works

    The boss notices someone's not clocked in

    And the water department of the council offices has a message

    That mrs. park's daughter is missing

    Meanwhile the carlisle turnoff of the m6 motorway

    Drinking cold black coffee eating hot cup cakes

    She stares at him with his beard unshaved

    Wonders at his powers of staying awake

    He whispers slowly "you did just fine"

    They shared the driving all through the night

    She laughs "my mother will have lost her mind

    We're only ten miles to gretna

    They're three hundred behind

    Moonlighting

    They're leaving everything

    Moonlighting

    They're losing all their friends

    Moonlighting

    It's the only way

    It's frighening

    But it means they'll stay

    Together

    They're gonna make it together

    Moonlighting

    They're leaving everything

    Moonlighting

    They're losing all their friends

    Moonlighting

    It's the only way

    It's frighening

    But it means they'll stay

    Together

    They're gonna make it together

  29. Can't believe he's still going strong!!! I was only 15 when I heard this song in the "Pinball Arcade" after skipping out of school at lunchtime. Me, Buzzy and Della went to Telecki's Milk-Bar. Here I am now listening to this great man's song at 64 yrs old. DANG!!!!! What a legend he was…… er, I mean still IS!!!! And….. he's been kicking-back in God's Great Southern Land – AUSTRALIA!!!!!!
