I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight Songtext
von Richard Thompson

I′m so tired of working every day,
Now the weekend's come I′m gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare, mister you'll do all right
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 running all over town
There′s a silver band just marching up and down
And the big boys are all spoiling 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 knights rolling on the floor
Is just the kind of mess I'm looking for
I′m gonna dream
