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

I′m so tired of working 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 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 nights rolling 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
