Red Day on Blue Street Lyrics by Tony Banks

Banks Vaults - The Albums 1979-1995

1991

They're kissing babies and telling me lies
They're taking over my television
They're making noises that sound so wise
Trying to influence my decision
Rituals old fashioned
With speeches so proud and passionate
Hope reigns; fears rule
I may be crazy but I'm not such a fool
No such fool
Red day on blue street
And this world promises everything
Old shoes on new feet again
Nothing changes
Red day on blue street
Here comes a man with a face so sincere
Here comes another with power on his mind
Both with a want for a word in my ear
Both with a message of hope for my kind
Heads of this nation
Fight lies with misinformation and
This gives; that takes
One or the other for the difference it makes
None at all
Red day on blue street
And this world promises everything
Old shoes on new feet again
Nothing changes
Red day on blue street
We are the chosen ones
You have asked us to serve you
We deserve you
It's going the way that we said it would
We say that you never had it so good
No one's a loser who plays our game
The difference is clear, we just changed our name
Nobody knows that it's just the same
(Red day on blue street
Or how about blue day on red street?
It doesn't matter, it really doesn't
It doesn't matter, it really doesn't)
Somebody showing me the magical way
Somebody waving the key to my chains
They must believe I was born yesterday
They must believe I've got sand for my brains
Members historical
Woo me with words rhetorical
Blood runs; mud flies
Can't see a thing for the wool in my eyes
In my eyes...
Red day on blue street
And this world promises everything
Old shoes on new feet again
Nothing changes
Red day on blue street
This world promises everything
Old shoes on new feet again
Nothing changes
Red day on blue street
Promises everything
Old shoes on new feet again
Nothing changes...
