Originally I set out to write a Christmas song, hence the mention of bells in the chorus.
lyrics
It’s Your Time
Don’t shake a stick at your love at a time like this
Don’t turn your head when your loved one asks for a kiss
Not at a time like this,
And don’t depend on anyone to save you from the midlife shits
It’s a hard life Betty
We ain’t got enough for the kids
I don’t wanna end like this.
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
Let them them chime.
Don’t depend on government to give you that life long bliss
The world all around you is ruled from your head not his
Don’t let ‘em get to the kids,
Have you taken stock of the last big shock who dares?
If they took it down from the inside now who cares?
Who’s gonna right that wrong?
Sing sing ring ring the bells
Or you can rattle your Loose Change
There’s girls on the high streets picking out designer coats
There’s wind in the sails why don’t we head up the coast
To the lucky ones let’s toast
The ads on the t.v. showing us the latest craze
Where’s the cracked crazed face of the man in the urine clothes
Yes nobody wants to know
I saw him last year in the snow by the underground
But this year it’s R.I.P. ‘cause he’s not around
I hope his family found his bones
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
Let them them chime.
The tigers eye can see
Economy falling free
It’s a good thing
Take it from me
Wanting wanting people
Soon you will see
All that you need
Is something to eat
Well I don’t have a yacht
But I still gotta lot to give
A smile and a ryhme
And I still got the will to live
Let’s make the best of it
And don’t shake a stick at your love at a time like this
It could turn to a flame in your hand and you’ve had your last kiss
Not at a time like this
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
Let them them chime.
Sing sing ring ring the bells as your coming in
It’s Your time!
