Richard Thompson
I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
[Verse 1]
I'm so tired of workin' every day
Now the weekend's come I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you got the cab fare, mister, you'll do alright
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
There's crazy people running all over the town
There's a silver band just marchin' up and down
And the big boys are all spoilin' for a fight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Couple of drunken nights rollin' on the floor
That's just the kind of mess I'm looking for
I'm gonna drink 'til Monday comes into sight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

[Chorus]
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
