Delilah (1968 song)

"Delilah" was a song written by Les Reed and Barry Mason and recorded by Tom Jones in 1968.

Jones narrates the song as a deceived lover who spies his woman in a silhouette on a window as she makes love to another man. Although he realizes that she is of no benefit to him, he goes temporarily insane. Waiting until after her paramour leaves, he knocks on the door to find her laughing and stabs her to death. Then he begs her forgiveness before the police come to take him away.

The song was adopted by Stoke City fans in the early '90s and is still sung today. The song has also been covered many times by other artists, including a reggae cover by Horace Andy, the goth rock band Inkubus Sukkubus on their album Wild and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band whose single reached No 7 in the UK chart in 1975.

There is also a special Delilah spot in the Chris Evans Drivetime show on BBC Radio 2 on Fridays. Chris and traffic presenter Sally Boazman sing and dance to the tune, and afterwards the listeners text in sharing with Chris and Sally where they 'Delilah-ed'. It marks the spot of the begininng of the weekend. On 1st August 2008, Chris announced that the last Delilah spot would be on Friday 8th August, and that it would be replaced with a new Song, to be chosen by listeners in a referendum.

LYRICS:

Delilah     
 
 I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window  

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind  

She was my woman  

As she decieved me I watched and went out of my mind  

My, my, my, Delilah  

Why, why, why, Delilah  

I could see that girl was no good for me  

But I was lost like a slave that no man could free  

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting  

I cross the street to her house and she opened the door  

She stood there laughing  

I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more  

My, my, my Delilah  

Why, why, why Delilah  

So before they come to break down the door  

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more  

(insert trumpet solo here)  

She stood there laughing  

I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more  

My, my, my, Delilah  

Why, why, why, Delilah  

So before they come to break down the door  

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more  

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
