When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see red, I see red (red!), I see red.
I respect your wishes
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you.
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out.
Poor old me
[chorus]
I'm fed up with crying
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and Blue
[chorus]
Go!
I see red, I see red, I see red...
definitely one of nzs finest bands, ripping song about first love lost, being used & abused by an older or just more experienced lady
The ultimate Punk Rock to ever come out of this country! The lyrics seem to be about being broken hearted by a sexy but evil woman. You can feel the frustration in the lyrics and in the tempo! Love that Piano solo - so, new wave! GO KIWI ROCK!
This song is fucking good, only if New Zealand had more bands like Split Enz.
I love the way the similes and metaphors are carried on and on; the toothpaste in the first verse and the colours in the second.
My school house colour was red, so we used to sing this song (usually just the chorus) a lot during house competitions.
I think this song is about Tim's feelings for Greta Scachi, the actress. His relationship with her also led to the song "I hope I never". In both of these songs Tim Finn nails the feelings of hurt and anguish and being used that can happen to someone whose most important relationship has crashed to earth. a very sensitive, deeply feeling songwriter.
