Album: In Your Own Time

Four Minute Warning

Chorus:
Four minutes left to go,
Is this the end? The
Message on your stereo
four minutes warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do
A few short stories,
A four minutes warning

Verse 1:
Sasha stands in his yellow cafe
Yes the heart of the city is here,
So he tells me.
Sitting on his red leather sofa,
he's rolling another,
Man, I'll see you
When I see you
Polly is said to be the next big things,
In her high heel boots and her two inch earrings.
Heart of glass,
blondie sings in her ear,
"You're a rock queen, honey, and we all hear you!"

Chorus:
Three minutes left to go,
Is this the end? The
Message on your stereo.
Four minutes warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do
A few short stories
A four minutes warning.

Verse 2:
Lucy had a hard time with love,
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy.
"Loving when you know it's the final time",
She now holds time in her own mind.
Yeah, jimmy's is a local for Michael,
A Guinness in one hand in the other a fable, able.
I once asked, "are you a lonely man?"
His reply was non-commital,
I am what I am, man.

Chorus:
Two minutes left to go,
Is this the end? The
Message on your stereo.
Four minutes warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do
A few short stories
A four minutes warning.

Cry, laugh, feel love, peace, panic,
these are your four minutes.
(I'm counting you down, four minutes of sound, it's always a rush when you're around)

Verse 3:
The final story is one of me,
Who with four minutes left
Has used up three.
I think of you,
I think of me,
Then I think of nothing, it's the end you see.
Yeah!

Chorus:
One minute left to go,
Is this the end? The
Message on your stereo.
Four minutes warning.
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do
A few short stories
A four minutes warning.

What would you do, yeah

With a four minutes warning,
A four minutes warning,
I'm fading away, I'm fading away,
if anybody wants to know
I'm fading away, I'm fading away, there's only seconds left to go.
