Double Yellow Lines Lyrics

I was taught a lesson by these cobbled streets that it's the company you keep not the people you meet.
Chimney smoke you made me look like a joke torrential rain oh no.
You made my mind choke.

Stop signs, oh you're red and white coloured dots in the middle made me realise I'm high as a kite.
Do you think I'll be sleeping on my own tonight?

Double yellow lines by the side of the road,
Yellow lines will you carry me home,
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight.

And there's the fire brigade the working class parade,
I chased you down the street.
And with a laugh and a smile you tilted your hat to greet me.
There's the old streetlight that taught me my minds all right, its more important than a fist and a fight.
Do you think I should go home to my mother tonight?

Double yellow lines by the side of the road
Yellow lines will you carry me home
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight

Are your dreams written on a blackboard in chalk, or are they carved into stone.
Stand in a row
The primary colour
.........................
The yellow and the reds make sense...........

Double yellow lines by the side of the road
Yellow lines will you carry me home
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight

Double yellow lines by the side of the road
Yellow lines will you carry me home
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight

druken banter likes. they are "high as a kite" and hallucinating. aye!

i was just wondering... Are your dreams written on a blackboard in chalk, or are they carved into stone. ...?

i cant really decide whats up with this. i like it. alot. but i cant figure what it means...

any help!?

robynabby, I think that line is about if your dreams and aspirations are just temporary and pretty meaningless (can be erased from chalkboard) or permanent, like you have some direction in your life (set in stone). Just my idea on it.

Yeah I agree with fredjohn. It's like saying "Clever girls write their promises with a pencil, not a pen".

Or maybe that's just a Swedish expression but still!
