Tell Me When My Light Turns Green

(album: Searching For The Young Soul Rebels - 1980)

Seen quite a bit in my twenty-three years
Ive been manic-depressive
And Ive spat a few tears.
Ive been spat on and shat on
And made to eat soap
Ive been working and shirking
For what, I don't know.
Rambling and gambling
Hoping for more
Ive been losing and boozing
But I don't know what for.
If there's anyone there
Looking down at me
I think its 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
Its not that I don't believe in you
Your works all round to see
Its 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.
