The About Time Theme - Nick Laird-Clowes

World, world, world Where have we been? What have we done? Will the story of our future be a new tune? Or the same old song? Because who we are Only history knows But where we are going Oh it hasn't fully, fully been told And it's about time That we decide together That our fight for freedom Cannot last forever And it's about time We turn this world on a dime Listen here, it's about time Where we've been Floatin' down a river With our hands tied While further downstream Is where the truth and lies divide And now it's only right We put our words on the line And we decide together baby That it's about time, yeah It's about time That we decide together That our fight for freedom Cannot last forever It's about time We turn this world on a dime The world, world, world It's just people like you and I But the stage is set for us to amplify So let's free our minds rather Than our minds be occupied We gotta take it back, oh take it back Take it back, take it back, take it back It's about time It's about time It's about time It's about time And it's about time That we decide together That our fight for freedom Cannot last forever And it's about time We turn this world on a dime The world, world, world It's just people like you and I But the stage is set for us to amplify So let's free our minds rather Than our minds be occupied We gotta take it back, oh take it back Take it back, take it back, take it back (Take it back, take it back) So let's free our minds rather Than our minds be occupied (Take it back, take it back) It's about time It's about time It's about time It's about time Time, time, time, time Time, time, time, it's about time

All the kids are throwing sticks: Politics Nights on the wire! Everybody wants to get by 'Ts a test of the times! A test of my rights It's on pretty lady Born to be angry Grip of the vice Click on the trigger, girl; Sip wine on ice! It's about time Best to rewind You better blow Pistols, pistols... Lights low Go on baby go It's a bad time I'm on a tight rope! Don't go-o! It's about time, It's about time! Everybody come on Lights on The beaches Everybody come on; delight!

It's about time, It's about... All the years of paradise Paradigms Paralyze Us "You're crazy!" All the cards you've organized Shuffled twice in front of my eyes Everybody has Needs, wants, a cold gun! Lights low Go on baby go It's a bad time I'm on a tight rope! Don't go-o! It's about time, It's about... PISTOLS

I don't get many things right the first time In fact, I am told that a lot Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls Brought me here And where was I before the day That I first saw your lovely face? Now I see it everyday And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest What if I'd been born 50 years before you In a house on a street where you lived? Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike Would I know? And in a white sea of eyes I see one pair that I recognize And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90's And one day passed away in his sleep And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days And passed away I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong That I know That I am I am I am The luckiest

(Dickey lee, kerry chater) I've seen you smile more than I thought you would And I smiled back a little more than I should And lately at night while he's sound asleep I'm thinking things that I shouldn't think Chorus: You're the first time I've thought about leaving And I really don't know what I'll do You're the first time I've thought about leaving him I've never done known someone like you Sometimes I wait when I really should go Lord only knows what I do that for When I get home and he holds me close I try not to think what I'm thinking most Repeat chorus I've never known someone like you
