  • Seen quite a bit in my twenty-three years
    Ive been manic-depressive
    And Ive spat a few tears.
    Ive been spat on and shat on
    And made to eat soap
    Ive been working and shirking
    For what, I dont know.
    Rambling and gambling
    Hoping for more
    Ive been losing and boozing
    But I dont know what for.
    If theres anyone there
    Looking down at me
    I think its time you picked my number
    I need some help you see
    Just draw a line
    State the date
    Give a time
    Anywhere
    Yours or mine
    Just tell me when my light turns green
    Its not that I dont believe in you
    Your works all round to see
    Its just that while youve been there doing good
    You havent left much time for me
    Just draw a line
    State the date
    Give a time
    Anywhere
    Yours or mine
    Just tell me when my light turns green. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
