Graham Parker - Locked Into Green lyrics

pre>(the subject of this song, william wittmam informs us, is snooker.) G dm em c I find i fall into each night what pa**es for a dream G dm em c But all i see are pinks and blacks and i don't know what they mean Cm gm bm e My opponent's got the edge but his face just can't be seen E c d g c g And i...........'m locked into green I been up since 8 oclock smoking endless cigarettes And i'll be at the table as the bookies take their bets A shot of drink to steady nerves and i'll wipe that table clean And i...........'m locked into green C g Reds and blues, yellows, greens and browns C d If i keep my eye in i will put them down Cm gm bm e There's other ways of life out there but there's nothing they could mean E c d g f e Because i...........'m locked into green E c d g c g Oh i...........'m locked into green G g c g g g c g I'm locked into green, i'm locked into green G g I'm locked into green /pre>
