MeFi Music
Nosila, recently posted the rather fantastic “green lights flashing”, and kindly gave me permission to massacre the song for the September music challenge. This is only the second song I have sung on so I have stuck to a kind of talking vocal which seems comfortable at the moment while I get to grips with letting loose a little!
I have made a pledge to try and do all of the music challenges for a year (this is number three!) and try and sing on all of them (where they need singing). You have been warned.
GREEN LIGHTS FLASHING
1. the older I stand and the longer I get — you know
we don’t get no new place in this world — you know
2. I’m shut-in, in your house — you know
I’m in; you’re out; I’m in; you’re out; but you know
we don’t get — we don’t get — we don’t get no
green lights, flash-ing, green lights, flash-ing
3. staples and chains won’t keep this together — you know
it’s the way that it all goes to pieces, but you know
we don’t get — we don’t get — we don’t get no
green lights, green lights, green lights, green lights, flash-ing
you know, you know, you know, you know

I’m shut-in — you’re locked out — the handle’s red hot — you know?
I’m shut-in — you’re locked out — the handle’s red hot — you know?

4. it’s the fourth week in a row that the fireshow is out my back door
— – (coming in through the window)
we don’t get — we don’t get — we don’t get no
green lights, flash-ing, green lights, flash-ing
5. that one shook the windowframes — – (you almost got back in)
thank god the shutters hold the shut-ins, in
we don’t get — we don’t get — we don’t get no
green lights, green lights, green lights, green lights, flash-ing
you know, you know, you know, you know

I’m shut-in — you’re locked out — the handle’s red hot — you know?
I’m shut-in — you’re locked out — the handle’s red hot — you know?
