Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured

Arctic Monkeys Arctic Monkeys

We'll ask if we can have six in
If not we'll have to have two
Well, you're coming up our end, aren't you?
So I'll get one with you

Oh, won't he let us have six in?
Especially not with the food
He could've just told us no, though
He didn't have to be rude

You see her with the green dress?
She talked to me at the bar
Well, how come it's already two-pound-fifty?
We've only gone about a yard

Didn't you see she were gorgeous?
She were beyond belief!
But this lad at the side drinking his Smirnoff Ice
Came and paid for her a Tropical Reef

And I'm sitting going backwards
And I didn't want to leave
I said: It's High Green, mate
Via Hillsborough, please

Well, how funny were that sketch earlier
Up near that taxi rank?
Oh no, you would have missed it
Think it were when you went to the bank

These two lads squaring up, proper shouting
'Bout who were next in the queue
The kind of thing that would seem so silly
But not when they've both had a few

Well, calm down, temper, temper
You shouldn't get so annoyed
Well, you're acting like a silly little boy
Oh, they wanted to be men and do some fighting in the street
He said: No surrender
No chance of retreat

And so why are we in the taxi?
'Cause I didn't want to leave
I said: It's High Green, mate
Via Hillsborough, please

Drunken plots hatched to jump it
Ask around: Are you sure?
Went for it, but the red light was showing
And red light indicates doors are secured
