The Specials Bright Lights Lyrics:

The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights 

The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights

I thought I might move down to London Town 

I could get in a band, have fun all the year round 

The living down there must be pretty easy 

I could rip up my jeans deliberately

The streets really must be paved with gold 

If everybody goes WHAM! and has fun on the dole 

Imagine what it would be like for me 

I've seen the pictures in the magazines

Because I've been down too long now 

I don't understand why 

But something's gotta change soon 

Because I can't just sit and cry

Something better come right 

Something better come right 

Something better come right soon

Something got to come right 

Something got to come right 

Something got to come right soon

The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights 

The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights

Something better come right 

Something better come right 

Something better come right soon

I got down to London and what did I see? 

A thousand policemen all over the street 

The people were shouting and looking at me 

They said 'the Colin Roach's family demand an enquiry'

I woke up from a terrible dream 

I saw millions of people replaced by machines 

I thought, I've got to change more than my clothes 

If I want to do something more than just pose

I've been down too long now 

I must go up from here 

Somethings got to change soon 

Because I can't just disappear 

Something's got to come right 

Something's got to come right 

Something's got to come right soon

Something better come right 

Something better come right 

Something better come right soon
