Lyrics:
I heard it on the radio
Saw it on the One Show
When everyone came to Glasgow
So now the mercury is rising
There’s no disguising
Feelings are starting to grow
It’s a one stop shop
At the good cop, bad cop
Let’s all talk
Before time runs out
Don’t sleepwalk
At the good cop, bad cop
The future is now
Islands are disappearing
Deep down in the ocean
When everyone came to Glasgow
And still the clock is ticking fast
You know it can’t last
Need to win hearts and minds
It’s a one stop shop
At the good cop, bad cop
Let’s all talk
Before time runs out
Don’t sleepwalk
At the good cop, bad cop
The future is now
Taking some action
Gaining some traction
Showing no fear
Dancing on thin ice
Not that we think twice
We gotta be clear
It’s a one stop shop
At the good cop, bad cop
Let’s all talk
Before time runs out
Don’t sleepwalk
At the good cop, bad cop
The future is now
Next Step
