I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight - Richard Thompson/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
