Red Skies at Night by The Fixx.
Edited on Mon Feb-06-06 10:59 PM by Crazy Guggenheim
Red Skies
The Fixx

Red skies at night
Wo oh oh oh oh
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh oh oh
Should have taken warning it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go

Red skies at night
Wo oh

Should have taken warning it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go

Red skies at night
Wo oh
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh

Someone's taking over
And it look like they're aiming
Right at you
Someone said we'll be dead by morning
Someone cries leaving

Red skies at night
Wo oh oh

2. One thing leads to another
The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross
Leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet
Why don't they

Do what they say, say what you mean
Oh well, one thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another

The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see
Comes from living close to your fears
If this is up, then I'm up
But you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump
Leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat
Why don't they

Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
Yeah, yeah, yeah

One thing leads to another

Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff
I've got to say enough's enough
Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote
Is like a bulge on the throat
You run for cover in the heat
Why don't they

Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
Yeah, yeah

4. Trivia: The song reached #101 on Billboard's charts.
Which explains why you never saw it on the Hot 100 (in case you were looking).

Of course, it was a big album airplay track, which is why we all remember it. But it would be other Fixx tracks that became "AM Radio" hits.
