"Came from Alan Bleasdale's invitation 

to write the theme song for his television

series 'Scully'. The openning sequence features the 

hero leading out the Liverpool side at Anfield 

accompanied by my tune; I expect this is the 

closest I'll ever get to one particular 

childhood ambition."






You've been taught that this won't do
They put me in the picture but the film turned blue
A glimpse of you, Turning The Town Red.
A head full of brand new words
and a mouth full of shocks
You're a big boy now, with a face to stop clocks

Turning the town red
You made your bed, 
and now you'd better dream in it
The word that you once whispered, 
now you're screamin' it

Days drip down the damp wallpaper
Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper
between your old toy soldiers
and your mother's sleepers

Turning the rown red

You made your bed, 
you'd better face the consequence
A black pool opened at my feet 
into a dream sequence

Turning the town red

You know I heard her call my name
At least, I think that's what she said
Surely I'm the correlation 
that's gonna cause her shame
So, what's she doing in my bed?

Turning the town red
