	A mid-sixties, Brit-invasion influenced pop tune incorporating ambient sounds, "Under the Lights" --along with the other songs comprising "Lifeboat"-- examines "the personal consequences of living in a dysfunctional society, while skillfully documenting the individual dramas that unfold . . . balancing seamy imagery with catchy, often playful melodies (New Times, Miami)."

	Story Behind the Song Perhaps the oldest tune on Lifeboat, "Under the Lights" was originally composed c.1981, and was often featured in the acoustic segment of Persian Gulf's live shows. The present arrangement and lyrics were conceived and recorded between 1991 and 1995 in St. Augustine and Tallahassee, State of Florida, USA. Lyrics Call your lover on the telephone you're thinking of her but noone's home and you really don't mind there's noone else who could find you take all looking glasses off the wall you don't want 'em hanging round at all tonight now the room glows white as the TV fine tunes you one fine night when you're twice this bright but you haven't got a thing to wear it's you only and you wake up under the lights
