Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured (Live in Texas)
[Spoken intro]
This is, this next song, every band's got a song called "Red Lights something," so, so do we
[Verse 1]
We'll ask if we can have six in
If not we'll have to have two
Well, you're comin' up at our end, aren't ya?
So I'll get one with you
Oh, won't he let us have six in?
Especially not with the food
He could have just told us no, though
He didn't have to be rude
You see her with the green dress?
She talked to me at the bar
Well, how come it's already two-pound fifty?
We've only gonе about a yard
Didn't you see she were gorgеous?
She were beyond belief
Oh, but this lad at the side drinkin' his Smirnoff Ice
Came and paid for her Tropical Reef
[Chorus]
And I'm sitting, going backwards
And I didn't want to leave
I said, "It's High Green, mate
Via Hillsborough, please"
[Verse 2]
Well, how funny were that sketch earlier
Up near that taxi rank?
Oh no, you would have missed it
Think it were when you went to the bank
These two lads squarin' up, proper shoutin'
'Bout who were next in the queue
The kind of thing that'd seem so silly
But not when they've both had a few
[Bridge]
Well, calm down, temper, temper
You shouldn't get so annoyed
Well, you're actin' like a silly little boy
Oh, they wanted to be men
And do some fightin' in the street
He said, "No surrender, no chance of retreat"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Why are they in the taxi?
'Cause I didn't wanna leave
And I said, "It's High Green, mate
Via Hillsborough, please!"
[Verse 3]
Oh, drunken plots hatched to jump it
Ask around, "Are you sure?"
Went for it, but the red light was showin'
Red light indicates doors are secure
[Spoken Outro]
(Thank you)
And there is actually someone wearing green, which is a rarity
