Red Lyrics by XTC

Go 2

1978

You better watch your tape boys
It's the tint that angers the beast
Got their sails in the sunset
They've already got the east

Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red
Oh don't you let them make you
Don't you let them make you see red

You better watch your lead boys
It's already in your veins
Did you ever see the colour?
Iron turns when it rains

Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red
Don't you let them make you
Don't you let them make you see red, red

It's not a gross infatuation
It's not a fear, it's not a crush
It's not any special nation
But even now they make me blush

Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red
Don't you let them make you
Don't you let them make you see
Red
Red
Red
