Tell Me When My Light Turns Green Songtext

von Dexy's Midnight Runners

Seen quite a bit in my twenty-three years
I've been manic-depressive
And I've spat a few tears.
I've been spat on and shat on
And made to eat soap
I've been working and shirking
For what, I don't know.
Rambling and gambling
Hoping for more
I've been losing and boozing
But I don't know what for.
If there's anyone there
Looking down at me
I think it's time you picked my number
I need some help you see
Just draw a line
State the date
Give a time
Anywhere
Yours or mine
Just tell me when my light turns green
It's not that I don't believe in you
Your work's all round to see
It's just that while you've been there doing good
You haven't left much time for me
Just draw a line
State the date
Give a time
Anywhere
Yours or mine
Just tell me when my light turns green.
