Costello, Elvis - Turning The Town Red Lyrics
You've been taught that this won't do
They put me in the picture but the film turned blue
A glimpse of you, Turning The Town Red.
A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks
You're a big boy now, with a face to stop clocks.
You made your bed, and now you better dream in it.
The word that you once whispered, now you're screamin' it.
Days drip down like bad wallpaper.
Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper between your old toy soldiers
and your mother's sleepers.
Turning the Town Red. [x2]
You made your bed, you better face the consequence.
Turning the Town Red. Aah. [x4]
You know I heard her call my name
Least, I think that's what she said.
Surely I'm the correlation that's gonna cause her shame
So, what's she doing in my bed?
Turning the Town Red. Aah.
[Repeat]

Super little 'pop' song. Bought this at the time and also loved the tv series. If my memory serves me well i remember Elvis Costello having a cameo role in it as a trainspotter. I think he played the part of somebody's brother/cousin? . Maybe Scully's?. Good song.
