You've been told that this won't do

So you're turning the town red

They put me in the picture but the film turned blue

A glimpse of you

Turning the town red


You said they carried you shoulder high

After turning the town red

Now you've lost that lovin' feelin'

And you don't know why

Turning the town red


You made your bed and now you better dream in it

The word that you once whispered, now you're screaming it

Turning the town red


Days drip down the damp wallpaper

Pictures plastered in an ivy creeper

Between your old toy soldiers and your mother's sleepers

Soon you'll be turning the town red


Don't get the needle with the boys in the blocks

Find yourself alright when the bathroom door locks

You're a big boy now with a face to stop clocks

Soon you'll be turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red


You made your bed, you better face the consequence

A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence

Turning the town red


I smell trouble I heard her call my name

At least I think that's what she said

Surely I'm the poor relation who can't afford the shame

So what's she doing in my bed?


You know that scent that often lingers

After turning the town red

I can't find it on my face or even on my fingers

I'm turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red
