Lyrics:
Half past twelve
and I’m watchin’ the late show
in my flat all alone
how I hate to spend
the evening on my own
autumn winds
blowin’ outside the window
as I look around the room
and it makes me so
depressed to see the gloom
there’s not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won’t somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day
Movie stars
find the end of the rainbow
with a fortune to win
it’s so different from
the world I’m living in
tired of TV
I open the window
and I gaze into the night
but there’s nothing there to see
no one in sight
there’s not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won’t somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

Half-past twelve And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win It's so different from the world I'm living in Tired of TV I open the window and I gaze into the night But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

1979 - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) 2024 - Stay away creep! (all around the clock)

[@Cuttuttlefish]

It means "Gimme gimme gimme a man (that I want) after midnight"? That should hopefully go without saying. If you go back to 1979, women still told creeps to stay away. This song isn't talking about how freely or to whom anybody is giving consent, it's just about the state of longing to find someone you want to give that consent to. The suggestion that "Gimme Gimme Gimme" and "Stay Away Creep" are settings women themselves have, rather than two different human reactions you would expect from the same person given different circumstances, well, I'm ngl it sounds confused. No judgement, perhaps bad content has been in your KZbin feed and your mind is processing that poison. I do presume a lot but an innocuous non-political video prompting you to comment that makes me think you are being preyed upon by MGTOW/MRA creators. That stuff is not healthy or grounded in reality and you should try cutting it out of your media diet. People talking all that anti-feminism stuff are just manipulating loneliness for clicks, it's not real.
