Time’s Up (2009)

This song was an attempt to visualise the current state of the world through the imagery of the chaotic end of a selfish and hedonistic party.

SO THATS ALL.
WERE DONE.
WE HAD A LITTLE FUN- NOW WE WISH WE WERE AT HOME.
WE MADE A MESS OF THE PLACE.
NOW, TIMES UP.
AND ITS TOO LATE TO CLEAN UP.
AND EVERYTHING’S MESSED UP.
DRAINED AWAY.

WILL YOU WONDER WHERE YOUR PARTYS GONE?
WHEN THERES NO TIME LEFT TO CARRY ON,
WHEN THERES NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE?

SO GOODBYE-
SO LONG.
IT SEEMS WERE ALMOST DONE- ITS TIME TO MOVE ALONG.
ITS THE END OF THE LINE,
TIMES UP.
AND ITS TOO LATE TO CLEAN UP.
AND EVERYTHING’S USED UP.
GONE AWAY.

AND IT WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING CLOSE TO ALRIGHT,
ITS THE END OF IT ALL AND IT HAPPENS TONIGHT.
THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK SAY ITS TIME TO BEGIN,
AND NOW EVERYONES EQUAL, YOU’RE ALL GETTING IN.
BUT YOU WONT COME OUT.
GOODBYE.

IF YOU GIVE NOTHING OUT TO NO-ONE.
THEN YOU GET NOTHING BACK FROM NO-ONE IN RETURN.
YOU’RE GIVING NOTHING OUT TO NO-ONE.
YOU’RE GETTING NOTHING BACK FROM NO-ONE IN RETURN.

  1. Hi-
    This is my favorite song (so far) on the new album. I found out about the album on Friday, and immediately bought & downloaded it. Actually, I bought two copies to make up for not getting a proper chance to purchase ‘Great Shakes’.
    I just wanted to say thank you for getting your work out there for us to enjoy. Your music means a lot to me, and each release always goes into heavy rotation in my life (an stays there). Please keep on creating & sharing!
    Eagerly looking forward to the next time you play Chicago!

    Best,
    Bryan
