What is this song about?

[iAMfromHuntersBar]

It's about a taxi ride home after a night out drinking in Sheffield.


Ask if we can have six in, if not we'll have to have 2
You're coming up our end aren't you? So I'll get one with you
Oh won't he let us have six in? especially not with the food
He coulda just told us no though, he dint have to be rude
Just checking how many people they can fit in a taxi, if the driver won't let them illegally squeeze six in they'll have to get two taxis! The driver won't do that, and has obviously been nasty to them about it!

See her in the green dress? She talked to me at the bar
How come its already two pound fifty? We've only gone about a yard
Dint ya see she were gorgeous, she was beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking a Smirnoff ice came and paid for her tropical Reef
Chatting about a nice girl from the bar who went off with another lad when he paid for her drink. Also, they can't believe how much the taxi is costing because of how little distance they've gone!

And I'm sitting going backwards, and I didn't want to leave
Its high green mate, via hillsborough please
Black cabs have 2 backwards facing seats, so that explains that! Then they're telling the driver the route (high green and hillsborough are places in Sheffield!)

How funny was that sketch earlier, up near that taxi rank
Oh no you will have missed it, think it was when you went to the bank
These two lads squaring up proper shouting, bout who was next in the queue
The kind of thing that would seem so silly but not when they've both had a few

Calm down temper temper, you shouldn't get so annoyed
You're acting like a silly little boy
They wanted to be men and do some fighting in the street
No surrender, no chance of retreat
These two verses are about people fighting about stupid stuff when they're drunk.


Drunken plots hatched to jump it, ask around are ya sure?
Went for it but the red light was showing
And the red light indicates doors are secured
In the final verse they're talking about "jumping" the taxi, i.e. running off without paying, but when they try, the doors are locked! The final line comes from the sign inside the taxi that says;
