[Satchmo Distel]

Dexys 1980:

Seen quite a bit in my twenty-three years
I've been manic depressive and I've, spat a few tears
Spat on and shat on
(Tell me when my light's on)
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

Spat on and shat on
(Tell me when my light's on)
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

Rambling and gambling just, hoping for more
I've been losing and boozing but I don't know what for

Will anybody help?
(Tell me when my light's on)
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

It's not that I don't believe in you
Oh, your work's all around for me to see
Won't you please help?
(Tell me when my light's on)
Would you please tell me when my light turns green?

I’ve known Summershine by 80s indie janglers The Sea Urchins for the best part of 30 years. But it’s only very recently that one line from the song has jumped out at me and become loaded with meaning. It’s “Carry on until the day you wanted comes to you.”
