This is Supposed to be the third Best Rock song. And No wonder that it comes from pink Floyd.
The Lyrics gives an impression of a man who has passed his adulthood. He spent his time doing nothing. Staring at crucial moments of life without giving much thought for his future, and when he realises that he is far behind and there is much more to be achived, he finds that there is no time to do it.
Time
Pink Floyd
(Dark Side Of The Moon)
Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground on your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No-one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun!
(guitar solo)
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death!
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Gatty
(A must listen song)
