In addition to the regular version, excellent live renditions of the song appear on the B-side of 'You're So Close' (1992, recorded in 1990) and on 2001's Alive Just for Love album. Further atmosphere and mystery is conjured by the snatches of Eastern-sounding dialog that crackle through the song's mid-section, while the lyric is the perfect example of Murphy's traditional blend of deliberate obscurity and haunting imagery, name-checking his then-current backing band, the 100 Men, then seemingly thrusting them into a medieval landscape through which they must journey.all night long. Although it did not chart, 'All Night Long' would remain a TV video favorite well into the next decade, its signature rhythms - a gentle, Middle East-inflected tapping - punctuating the cascades of melody that build as the intro and opening verse develop, to explode into glory at the chorus.

Your mouth is open but I don't want to hear ya.

I said put on your dancing shoes and come along. Said you had a party and you didn't call us. Well the next door neighbors started raising a fuss. Your Black stockings and your see through dress. I said all night long (all night long) I said all night long (all night long) We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin'. All Night Parking Lyrics: I know you've got things to do (I do, too) / I just wanna spend all my time with you (It feels so good) / I'm so hard to impress, don't leave me on this stretch alone.

The opening track from Peter Murphy's second album, 1988's Love Hysteria, the absolutely compulsive 'All Night Long' was also selected as the LP's first single, in February 1988. I want to love you (all night long) I want to be with you (all night long) I want to love you (all night long) I want to be with you (all night long) I saw you standing down by the stage.

Song all night long
