Lyrics
TIME IN THE SUN
Your empty handed gesture's saying
That your writing is on the wall
As soon as you were outed
That's when your eye came off the ball
You started shouting in the echo chamber
In the basement of your home
You were bouncing off the walls and then you were chewing at your carpal bone
Cause you've had your time in the sun
You had it all for quite some time
You can't complain it's the nature of all things
Yes you've had your time in the sun
When they were struggling manfully
You couldn't help but be quite smug
You offered them words of encouragement
As you were pulling out on their rug
Your ambulance at the base of the cliff
It had no driving wheels
You never guessed that your luck would change
And your life it be revealed
Cause you've had your time in the sun
You had it all for quite some time
You can't complain it's the nature of all things
Yes you've had your time in the sun
I'm sorry that you came here unprepared
I guess your daddy he tried to pave your way
And now it's fate that's come to your face and stared
You've had suggestions put to you
About some things that you could do
But you can't be bothered to raise your fetters up
To your mouth and chew
If parsimony saw you show some fight
Maybe you'd get a change of luck
But as it is you're cooking up a stew
And in your gorge it's gonna be stuck
Cause you've had your time in the sun
You had it all for quite some time
You can't complain it's the nature of all things
Yes you've had your time in the sun
