The Streets — Blinded By The Lights

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner] That's the one, oi How did he not find the baggy With his hand in my shoe? Way too close for me Oh well, at least they allowed me through Should be a good night in here Rammo in the main room People keep pushing me though No reception on the phone [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] And I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes They said they'd be here, they said They said in the corner And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 2: Mike Skinner] These look well speckled A bit green and blue Threes is well cheap though So I'll take three if I need to Right, I'm on a plan I wish the bouncers'd go away Borrow water off this man Here goes nothing, okay [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] And I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes Oh, that's proper rank That tastes like hairspray And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 3: Mike Skinner] I hate coming to the entrance Just to get bars on my phone You have no new messages So why haven't they phoned? Menu: write message "So where are you and Simone?" Send message: Dan's number "Where have they gone?" [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] And I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes Why's the message pending? Where the fuck are ya? And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 4: Mike Skinner] Hmm, brandy or beer? Water's a good idea I wish that bar lady'd appear And come serve over here Where the fuck could they be? Still not over in the corner This night's a tragedy I keep thinking I saw her [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] And I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes No, that's not them That's not them either And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 5: Mike Skinner] I'm still not feeling anything This has got to be a dud It's been ages since I necked it I smoked six tabs to the nub Belly's not even tingling I just feel a bit pissed No-one looks like mingling I can't see her or him [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] And I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes I'm gonna do another I think Yeah, one more, these are shit And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 6: Mike Skinner] These toilets are a piss-take Queue's bigger than the door Gotta get rid of this pill taste What are they chatting so much for? Glad I'm not a girl in this place They'll be here 'til dawn Sure my belly's tingling a bit Something's happening, I'm sure [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] And I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes Maybe I shouldn't have done the second one I feel all fidgety and warm And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 7: Mike Skinner] Whoa, everything in the room's spinning I think I'm gonna fall down My heart's beating too quick I'm fucking tripping out I wonder whether they got in? Turned away, no doubt Who cares? This is a tune coming in That one noise is like [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] I'm thinking Lights are blinding my eyes My eyes are rolling back I'm rubbing my thighs with my hand And I'm thinking People pushing by Then walking off into the night [Verse 8: Mike Skinner] Yeah, yeah, they cheer Can they see my hand in the air? I need to wave 'em over here I swear Simone's kissing Dan My head's twisted severe Body is rushing everywhere They could have texted me when they were near But I'm fucked and I don't care [Chorus: Mike Skinner & Jackie Rawe] Lights are blinding my eyes What was I thinking about? Ah, who cares I'm mashed People pushing by Then walking off into the night Totally fucking Can't hardly fucking stand This is fucking amazing Ah-ha
