Gerry Rafferty - I See Red Lyrics
Back in my school days acting the fool boys
One and one and one made three
And the man said come and cut yourself a piece of the big time.
Armour-clad forces riding trojan horses
I didn't wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine.
‘Stop, pay the price', they said to me, ‘take this advice:
You're out of your head'
Stop, hold the ‘phone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red
I see red. I see red.
She slips and stumbles, twists and she tumbles
She always lands on her feet
Won't you come this way -- won't you go my way
Her rhythm doesn't miss a beat
She's just doin' everything she can to keep surviving.
‘Stop, pay the price', she said to me, ‘take this advice:
You're out of your head'
Stop, hold the ‘phone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red.
I see red. I see red. Yeah.
Now who wants a riot -- people should be quiet
Don't we give ‘em good TV
You can learn to love a lifetime of distraction.
You've got nothin' on the inside, nothin' on the outside
All the way from A to B
I can live without that kind of satisfaction.
‘Stop, pay the price', she said to me, ‘take this advice:
You're out of your head'
Stop, hold the ‘phone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red
I see red. I see red. I see red. Yeah.
[fade and repeat]
I see red
I see red
You make me see red
Yes I see red
I see red
I see red.

Gerry Rafferty I See Red Comments
Just brilliant and typical of Gerry's best work, layered, powerful and heartfelt. The fact his brother wrote it, just adds to the magic.
Clannad's version still my favorite
Nice bass work on this one. Caught him on the tour, Feb. 1993.
This song travels to another world!
This Song Was Written By Gerry's Brother Jim Rafferty. Good Luck Finding The Original, Although I Was Lucky Enough To Get It.Sounds Completely Different Than Gerry's Great Version.
Brilliant lyrics...tho I have no idea what they mean. My guess is that it's about drugs. Anyone want to translate them for me? What's this song about?
Have to say, I only knew the great version by Clannad on "Magical Ring", so it's really good to now have this one too :)
It was my pleasure, thanks for commenting.
Love Frida too, she did his song justice.
Frida brought me here!
