Road Traffic Surreality

lyrics

YELLOW AND RED
Red lights block the way,
Sorry for delay, sorry for delay,
We’re fixin’ t’gas today,
Fixin’ t’ gas today,
So sorry for delay.
Chorus
Marked on a yellow sign
In letters plain as day,
“Sorry for delay.
So sorry for delay”

Red lights block the way.
Sorry for delay, sorry for delay,
We’re mendin’ t’power today.
We’re mendin’ t’power today.
Chorus
Red lights block the way.
Sorry for delay, sorry for delay,
We’re fillin’ t’oles today,
Fillin’ t’oles today.
So sorry for delay.
Chorus
Stuck in a traffic queue,
Turning the air blue
With diesel fumes from motor cars and trucks,
Remember that, when you complain,
In the bar or on the train,
Jobs are hard to come by nowadays,
That there are working men out there,
With pick and shovel mending all that’s broke.

So you should think again,
Your epithets restrain,
Remember that some poor sod,
Made in the imagine of some god,
Is working down that hole,
Protected by lights as red as Hell,
With a sign to clearly say,
In most apologetic way,
“Sorry for delay, So sorry for delay.”

Red lights block the way.
So sorry for delay,
So sorry for delay.
