The Light Is Always Green (Nottingham Concert 30/09/87) - The Housemartins

We dig our models with the brains the size of models

And cars that we can trust with out wives

And we dig converstations with girls from every nation

But not the ones that whisper or tell lies

Wherever there's a will there's a motorway

Wherever there is greed there is speed

And they've always got to be there for yesterday

Welcome to the new scalextric's breed

And the light they always show to them

Is green, green, green

And the heels they always show to me

Are clean, clean, clean

We're only flying past so we dig our sevice fast

From the waiters to the women to the wine

Never mind the match, I've an urgent date to catch

Get me to the concert hall on time

Pretending to be pilots in a war

Pretending to weave between the flak

No-one knows what the mission's for

Blinkered horses on the track

And the light they always show to them

Is green, green, green

And the heels they always show to me

Are clean, clean, clean
