Description
This is a song about girls I've known who jump from guy to guy and put me in the middle somehow. These women are irresistable but are the biggest problem.

Lyrics
I knew a girl named Red
Her man was green because Red wanted to get with me
Red got upset when I said,
"Could you ever be so free?"
Hang on to your coat, Red
Hang on to your red coat
I know how you come and go
Everybody knows
I knew a girl named Violet
She was darker than Red
Violet's style is one of doom
Her body is covered in tatoos
Violet's smile lit up the room
But there was always a lampshade over her head
Hang on to your blues, Violet
Hang on to your violet blues
I know you love you know who
Everybody knows you do
And everyone says "No"
When those girls say "Let go"
What do you do if they ever grab ahold?
Hang on to your red coat
Hang on to your red coat
Hang on to your red coat
Hang on to your red coat
Now I see who Red is with
and it makes me kind of sick.
Now I see who Violet's with
and it makes me kind of sick.
I should've stayed along
with the girl who loved my songs.
She used to wait outside by my doorstep.
Now I see who she is with and it makes me kind of sick
Her man was green because Red wanted to get with me
Red got upset when I said,
"Could you ever be so free?"
Hang on to your coat, Red
Hang on to your red coat
I know how you come and go
Everybody knows
I knew a girl named Violet
She was darker than Red
Violet's style is one of doom
Her body is covered in tatoos
Violet's smile lit up the room
But there was always a lampshade over her head
Hang on to your blues, Violet
Hang on to your violet blues
I know you love you know who
Everybody knows you do
And everyone says "No"
When those girls say "Let go"
What do you do if they ever grab ahold?
Hang on to your red coat
Hang on to your red coat
Hang on to your red coat
Hang on to your red coat
Now I see who Red is with
and it makes me kind of sick.
Now I see who Violet's with
and it makes me kind of sick.
I should've stayed along
with the girl who loved my songs.
She used to wait outside by my doorstep.
Now I see who she is with and it makes me kind of sick

Really catchy.
Cool lyrics and your voice really suits the song.
Quite Tom Petty-ish I though.
The song bopped along very nicely and I thought the sparce deep drum was a great touch
