The Light Is Always Green

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
