I Want To See The Bright Lights

Ocean Colour Scene · Other Songs - Ocean Colour Scene

I'm so tired of workin' everyday

Now the weekend's come, I'm gonna throw my troubles away

If you've got the cab fare, Mister, you'll do alright

I want to see the bright lights tonight



Meet me at the station don't be late

I need to spend some money and it just won't wait

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight



There's crazy people runnin' all over town

There's a silver band just marchin' up and down

And the big boys are all spoilin' for a fight

I want to see the bright lights tonight



Meet me at the station don't be late

I need to spend some money and it just won't wait

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight



A couple of drunken nights rollin' on the floor

Is just the kind of mess I'm looking for

I'm gonna dream till Monday comes in sight

I want to see the bright lights tonight



Meet me at the station don't be late

I need to spend some money and it just won't wait

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight



Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight
