| Well, the red light probably means more today than just prostitution. But that was a common thing to do years ago (and i guess still today) and I think its even more common in Britain. But prostiitutes would put a red light in their window so "johns" would know where to find them without the hookers actually walking the streets. When this song first came out I knew what the song meant but I didnt understand the meaning of the red light either. | |

| GuitarBoy, you are very very wrong. And you should probably be ashamed for having such crappy thoughts and opinions. Yes. Red Light = prostitution. Its about Roxanne being a flippin prostitute. | |

| The red light on means, that the girl is doing her job. To GuitarBoy, the idea of "mental traffic light" is nice. I had never thought of that. | |

| A wicked song in all ways. Word has it that Roxanne was a real person who Sting knew. | |
