Tell Me When My Light Turns Green

Okay, now it's time for the officer and the gentleman

Officer? Officer?

Officer?

Yes?

I'd like to make a confession

Right, let me take down the details

What, what exactly is the nature of the offence?

Um, well, it's a bit vague actually, um, I can't

Actually remember the details, I remember the incident

But I can't actually remember what happened

You're gonna have to do a bit better than that

Well, I'm trying, officer, I really

Am, what, you think I'm not trying?

Oh no, no, I'm not saying that

Okay

Uh, when exactly did the incident take place?

'71 To '93

What? Look, I'm sorry, but you can't come 'round here expecting

Me to take down details of a crime that happened so long ago

What, you don't even know what the crime was?

I've never heard anything like it before

In my life, it's absolutely ridiculous

Sorry, I'm sorry, officer, I didn't mean to waste your time

Well, you certainly have

Sorry, sorry

Well, sorry's no good, it's no good at all

Yeah, I know

What was the matter with you?

I don't know, I just don't know

Seen quite a bit in my fourteen odd years

I've been in many depres-sions, and I've shed a few tears

Spent all my shat (when my light turns, ah, ooh)

Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?

Spent all my shat (when my light turns, ah, ooh)

Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?

I was ramblin' and gamblin', just hopin' for more

I've been losin' and boozin', but I, I don't know what for

And to fire me up (when my light turns, ah, ooh)

Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?

And let me know just what it means

It's not that I don't believe in you

All your work's all around for me to see

But the problem

Why you turn up (when my light turns, ah, ooh)

Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?
