  • Don't know if I should quite sing this song
    Don't know if it maybe might be wrong
    But then again it maybe might be right
    To tell you 'bout the bullet and the red light

    You know I'm not from this place
    I'm from a different time, different space
    And it's real uncomfortable
    To be stuck somewhere you just don't belong

    But I got 8 good reasons to stick around
    8 good reasons, well maybe nine now

    I had a dream one night
    About a bullet and a red light
    You know it felt alright
    You know it actually felt quite nice

    If I could have gone
    Without it hurting anyone
    Like a child, I would have found me mum
    Like a bird I would have been flown

    You know I don't much like life
    I don't mind admitting that it ain't right
    You know I love to make music
    But my head got wrecked by the business

    Everybody wanting something from me
    They rarely ever wanna just know me
    I became the stranger no one sees
    Cut glass I've crawled upon my knees

    But I got 8 good reasons to stick around
    8 good reasons, well maybe nine now

    I had a dream one night
    About a bullet and a red light
    You know it felt alright
    You know it actually felt quite nice

    But I got 8 good reasons to stick around
    8 good reasons, well maybe nine now
    8 good reasons to stick around
    8 good reasons, well maybe nine now
    Well maybe nine now Writer/s: GRAHAM KEARNS, JOHN CHARLES REYNOLDS, SINEAD MARIE BERNARDE O'CONNOR
