Lyrics
Okay, now it's time for the officer and the gentleman
Officer? Officer?
Officer?
Yes?
I'd like to make a confession
Right, let me take down the details
What, what exactly is the nature of the offence?
Um, well, it's a bit vague actually, um, I can't
Actually remember the details, I remember the incident
But I can't actually remember what happened
You're gonna have to do a bit better than that
Well, I'm trying, officer, I really
Am, what, you think I'm not trying?
Oh no, no, I'm not saying that
Okay
Uh, when exactly did the incident take place?
'71 To '93
What? Look, I'm sorry, but you can't come 'round here expecting
Me to take down details of a crime that happened so long ago
What, you don't even know what the crime was?
I've never heard anything like it before
In my life, it's absolutely ridiculous
Sorry, I'm sorry, officer, I didn't mean to waste your time
Well, you certainly have
Sorry, sorry
Well, sorry's no good, it's no good at all
Yeah, I know
What was the matter with you?
I don't know, I just don't know
Seen quite a bit in my fourteen odd years
I've been in many depres-sions, and I've shed a few tears
Spent all my shat (when my light turns, ah, ooh)
Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?
Spent all my shat (when my light turns, ah, ooh)
Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?
I was ramblin' and gamblin', just hopin' for more
I've been losin' and boozin', but I, I don't know what for
And to fire me up (when my light turns, ah, ooh)
Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?
And let me know just what it means
It's not that I don't believe in you
All your work's all around for me to see
But the problem
Why you turn up (when my light turns, ah, ooh)
Oh, won't you tell me when my light turns green?
And let me know just what it means
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And let me know just what it means
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I gotcha now
Ooh, mama, mama, ooh, mama, mama, ooh, mama, mama, ooh, mama
Who's gonna tell me when my light turns green?
I hope I gotcha, oh, I gotcha, oh
