Notes

Author Jonathan Miller interviewed producer Mark Bell in 2001, who said:

"[Dave]'s got a seven-month-old baby daughter now, so I suggested he sing the album's closing track 'Goodnight Lovers' as though he was really singing it to her, like a lullaby. And I think that comes across. It's not role-playing, but something he could really feel."

Andy Fletcher said in the May 2001 issue of Keyboard magazine:

"[The sound that opens the track] was on the original demo. Paul Freegard did that sound on the [Clavia] Nord Lead."

Lyrics


Goodnight Lovers

Here, somewhere in the heart of me

There is still a part of me

That cares


And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got

Even though I'm sure it's not

The best for me


When you're born a lover

You're born to suffer

Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers


I, I can see the danger signs

They only help to underline

Your beauty


I'm not looking for an easy ride

True happiness cannot be tried

So easily


When you're born a lover

You're born to suffer

Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers


Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers


You can take your time

I'll be waiting in line

You don't even have to give me

The time of day


When you're born a lover

You're born to suffer

Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers


Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers
