We Will

About We Will

"We Will" is a song by the Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan, released as a single in July 1971. It was included as a bonus track on the 2011 reissue of his debut album Himself. It peaked at number 16 in the UK Singles Chart on 4 September 1971. O'Sullivan has described it as "very much a Catholic working class family song". Writing in The Guardian, Bob Stanley considered "We Will" to be "a song of resigned melancholy about how to get through a personal crisis by appreciating things such as kicking a ball, visiting distant relatives, eating corn flakes". The Times writer Pavel Barter wrote in 2017 that the song "introduced a form of kitchen-sink observational drama usually lacking in pop music". The artist re-recorded the song for his 1987 album "Frobisher Drive". The song was covered by Rumer on her 2012 album Boys Don't Cry. O'Sullivan has recounted in interviews being phoned up by Andy Williams in the 1970s, who was planning to cover the song and wanted permission to change the line 'I bagsy being in goal' as he didn't understand the expression. more »

It's over now you've had your fun
Get up them stairs go on quickly
Don't run
Take off your shoes the both of you's
Leave them down outside the door turn the landing light off,
No wait, leave it on it might make the night that easier to be gone
And in the morning who'll be wide a wake and eating snow flakes as
Opposed to those flakes. (We Will) We Will (We Will) We will
That afternoon we spend the day with uncle Frank (remember?) and
His wife auntie Mae well do you know since then I've recieved
Up to four letters all of which repeat the same they say
Thrilled to bits can't believe you came we relived it both
Over time and time again and if there's
Even a chance or even half you might be our way
Would you promise to stay (We will) We will (We will) We Will
Yeah..yeah..yeah
Oh its no easy pretending that you
Cannot hear once you've suffered the reflections within
It's no use in an ending to proclaim from the start that the
Moral of the stories to begin.
On Sunday next if the weather holds we'll have that game
But I bagsy-being-in-goal not because I'm good
Or because I think I should it's just that well at
My age I think standing still would really suit me best
Do we all agree?
Hands up those who do hands up those who don't
I see well in that case will we please be kind enough if not
On Sunday to go to mass on Monday (We will) We will
(We will ) We will yeah yeah (We will)
