Time, he's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy
Time, he flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time, in qualudes and red wine
Demanding billy dolls
And other friends of mine, take your time
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain and many other last names
Oh well I look at my watch, it says 9:25 and I think
Oh God I'm still alive
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
You are not a victim
You just scream with boredom
You are not evicting time
Chimes, goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind, take your time
Breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love were kind but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed, your park was real and greenless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Well, the smart money's on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you're east of East St. Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fianc is in the mirror
The band is going home
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down here
Chorus:
And it's Time Time Time
And it's Time Time Time
And it's Time Time Time
That you love
And it's Time Time Time
And they all pretend they're Orphans
And their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd steak around
Until the bandages came off
But these mamas boys just don't know when to quit
And Matida asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes, son
And this won't hurt a bit
Chorus
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the street
And when she's on a roll she pulls a razor
From her boot and a thousand
Pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
And a kiss upon his lips
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And play the fiddler off till i come back again
Chorus
Ain't the snow fallin' just a bit deeper these days
Ain't they're building the stairs a bit steeper these days
And the town's really changin' in so many ways it's time time
The young folks you're growin' uncommonly tall
And the newspaper print is becomin' so small
And folks talk so soft you can barely hear at all it's time just time
Jokes aren't as witty as the old jokes once were
And the girls ain't half as pretty as I remember her
And today on the bus a grown man called me sir it's time just time
[ steel ]
You know I ain't quite as anxious for fame or success
And my eye finds the girl in the plain simple dress
And I cling a bit longer to each warm caress that's time just time
So it takes a bit longer to walk up a hill
What of it but my life now is much more fulfill
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in 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
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And 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 desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field, tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
Well, the smart money's on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you're east of East St. Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going home
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down here
And it's Time Time Time
And it's Time Time Time
And it's Time Time Time
That you love
And it's Time Time Time
And they all pretend they're Orphans
And their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd stick around
Until the bandages came off
But these mamas boys just don't know when to quit
And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes, son
And this won't hurt a bit
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the streets
And when she's on a roll she pulls a razor
From her boot and a thousand
Pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
And a kiss upon his lips
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for nobody
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody
We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it at all
The fact that time is running out for us all
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time - it waits for nobody
You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all (confided in each other at all)
It seems that we've all got our backs against the wall
(Time) Time waits for nobody
(Time) waits for no-one
We've got to trust in one another
Or there'll be no more future at all
(Time)
Yeah - Time waits for nobody
No no - Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another
Or there'll be no more future at all
Time (time) time (time) waits for nobody waits for nobody
Time time time time waits for nobody at all
Time waits for nobody - yeah
Time don't wait - waits for no-one
Let us free this world for ever
And build a brand new future for us all
Time waits for nobody nobody nobody
For no-one
I was walking through a courtyard
Without shoes and
Without regard
Automatic catacombs
Take me where I wanna go
All around
All in faces
It astounds
And amazes
Good to last innatural
Touch me I'm a chromosome
What time
Fascinated by the face of time
What time
I got it to give and now we're gonna make some time
Ultra-fine and ultralistic
Can I spy into the mystic
System down for infiltration
Open mind free of frustration
I was driving
To a safe place
And arriving
As I retraced
Yell into a telescope
Aim it at the star of hope
What time
Fascinated by the face of time
What time
I got it to give and now we're gonna make some time
All over the under
The smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightning rod
Giving into the beauty and
Heaven knows how well I know you
Ultra-fine and ultralistic
Can I spy into the mystic
System down for infiltration
Open mind free of frustration
All around
All in faces
It astounds
And amazes
Good to last innatural
Touch me I'm a chromosome
What time
Fascinated by the face of time
What time
I got it to give and now we're gonna make some time
All over the under
The smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightning rod
Giving into the beauty too and
Heaven knows how well I know you
Time...
- If I have my way
Life would be just fine
But the world is too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
(Don't you that time is not on our side)
Because time is not on our side (on our side)
The end is coming, stop your running
I'm telling you this is the truth
You can talk about what you read about
Everything is on the news
People nowadays so shady
Now what is wrong with them
Something cast a spell up on their minds
And they always wanna condemn
While your judging me you should look around
And you'll see how people going down
Some of them are killed over a dime
Now tell me do we really have time
To continue with this madness
Cause I'm sick and tired of this
Trying to crush my world with jealousy
And I'm about to catch a fit
You're deceiving
What's the meaning
Of you're retrieving
The enemy's greeting
We all are leaving someday but
We don't know how we are going
Please believe me when I tell you
Instrumental
Some people run, some people crawl,
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forwards some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light, some wrapped in fearful black
Time oh time where did you go
Time oh good, good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied, sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold, sometimes it's hot
Sunset I laugh, sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between and wondering why
Time oh time where did you go
Time oh good good time where did you go
Time oh time where did you go
Time oh good good time where did you go
Time is a monster that lives in our clocks
It?s heartless and shows no remorse
Consuming our future as we fight
That hundred year war
Time is a soldier steady and true
Relentlessly trudging along
And time takes no prisoners
Nothing but time marches on
Time is a weapon, it?s cold and it?s cruel
It knows no religion and plays by no rules
Time has no conscience, when it?s all said and done
Like a beast in the jungle that devours it?s young
You can burn up the highway fly like the wind
Run down those long shiny rails
But time?s right behind you like a hound dog
That?s hot on your trail
But we?re all in the same boat so just hold on
And ride to the end of the line
Time waits for no one
Everyone runs out of time
Time is a weapon, it?s cold and it?s cruel
It knows no religion and plays by no rules
Time has no conscience, when it?s all said and done
I know that I, I can't believe
Just what the past has brought me
To the man I wanna be
I know that we have had some times
That we can't forget the struggle
Cause we have so far to go
I know we've changed but
Change can be so good
So let's not forget why
It's understood that
Time, look where we are and what we've been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, goes on and on everyday, baby
Time is what it is
Come what mayc(come what may)
I remember when, mom used to say
That things are getting better
And you'll soon be on your way
Remember those days
When we would sing at the drop of a dime (Oooh)
Way back when nothing mattered (Mmm, mm, mm)
I know we've changed, but
Change can be so good
Oh so let's not forget why it's understood that
Time, look where we are and what we've been through
(look where we are)
Time, sharing our dreams (dreams, dreams, dreams, oh yeah)
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (Oh)
Come what may (come what may)
So here we are (here we are)
And we'll always stay together
And through it all you know we owe it all to you, you, you , you
Time goes on and on
Time (Time), look where we are and what we've been through
Time, sharing our dreams
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday (everyday)
Time is what it is (Time is what is it)
Time (Time), look where we are and what we've been through
Time (Time), sharing our dreams (sharing our dreams)
Time, (goes on and on) goes on and on everyday
Time is what it is, Come what may
Time, goes on and on everyday, Time is what it is
Come what may
Feel it running off
So strong and clear
An age is over fast
And disappears
Help him if you can
His hour will come soon
Push away his fear
He'll see Elysium
It's time
It's time
Guard him a little while
And calm his shiver
Wash and dry his tears
And cool his fever
Take the bibles words
Speak it pure his soul
Lay love in his mind
His close to the final goal
It's time
It's time
It's time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Pray strong
Pray to the higher
Turn your back on the devil's fire
Time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Time is passing by
When his mind was clear
He called you brother
Now his brain is dazed
It's resigning rather
Mother take his hand
Say a last Good-Bye
We're not gifted to
Turn water into wine
It's time
It's time
It's time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Pray strong
Pray to the higher
Turn your back on the devil's fire
Time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
I Got So Much Trouble On My Mind
Paranoia Time
I'm Running Out Of Life
Clockwise And The Seconds Tick Away
Each Line That Cuts My Face
Cut As Each Hand Moves Into Place
Paranoia
Amped And Wired
Bile Black The Thoughts That Run My Head
There's So Much To Be Said
They're So Much Living Dead
Walking Corpses Shambling Through Life
With Nothing In Their Sight
Dance On Their Bones, Step In And Fight
Paranoia
Amped And Wired
Life And Death Are Fighting For My Time
I Can't Seem To Find The Time
I Want What's Mine
Time Through The Clock Just Keeps Talking
It Just Walks Any Damn Place
It Feels Like Walkin'
My Mind Keeps Thinking
Clockwise As The Seconds Tick Away
I Make My Move Today
Time And Life
Life And Time
To Have And Hold
And Sometimes Find
It Isn't Mine, It Isn't Yours
Man To Man I'll Fight You For
Time And Life
Life And Time
One Day I'll Get What's Mine
Through The Persistence Of Time
Life And Death As Words They Don't Mean Shit
It's What You Do With Them
And How You Live With It
Racing Like A Bull Inside A Cage
Just Give Me A Stage
Where This Bull Can Race
Paranoia
Amped And Wired
Life And Death Are Fighting For My Time
I Can't Seem To Find The Time
I Want What's Mine
Time Through The Clock Just Keeps Talking
It Just Walks Any Damn Place
It Feels Like Walkin'
My Mind Keeps Thinking
Clockwise As The Seconds Tick Away
I Make My Move Today
Time And Life
Life And Time
To Have And Hold
And Sometimes Find
It Isn't Mine, It Isn't Yours
Man To Man I'll Fight You For
Time And Life
Life And Time
One Day I'll Get What's Mine
Through The Persistence Of Time
Paranoia's Lost Its Hold On
Paranoia's Lost Its Hold On
Paranoia's Lost Its Hold On
Paranoia's Got No Hold On Me
Time Don't Have Nothing
To Do With How High You Can
Time Don't Got Nothing
To Do With How High You Can Count
Time And Life
Life And Time
To Have And Hold
And Sometimes Find
It Isn't Mine, It Isn't Yours
Man To Man I'll Fight You For
Time And Life
Life And Time
One Day I'll Get What's Mine
Some people run some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light and some wrapped in fearful black
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way and don't pay me any mind
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold and sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh sunrise I cry at midnight I'm in between and I'm wondering why
Time oh good good time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
I'm gonna take this map
And tear it up
Because I've been up and down
These dead end streets getting nowhere
I'm a little bit older
A little wiser
I've got to find my own way out of here
And start over
I want to feel sun in the morning
And make these shadows
Leave me alone
[Chorus:]
Maybe time will be all that I need to grow
Maybe time is all I need
And a little hope
And I'll find my way back home
All I need is time
I'm gonna take this moment and breathe it in
I know it won't be long now
I feel a new day growing in
I'm gonna wake up
Warm in the sunlight
One of these morning
I know I'll be there
[Chorus]
Just give me time
And I'll know I'll be right where I want to be
And in time
This will be just a memory
And I'll find my way back home
Gonna find my way back home
Cause you've given me time
Give me hope
Give me love [2x]
Give me time
Give me hope
Give me love
And I'll find my way back home
All I need is time
Whoo
Cause all I need is time
Then I'll find my way back home
And I'll be fine
The time has come for you
To make up your own mind (mind),
Stop looking for the answers
That you'll never find
Save all your tears for when you
Really need to cry,
Don't wish your life away,
Just spread your wings and fly
Time waits for no one, yeah,
It's never what it seems,
Stop waiting for tomorrow,
Stop living in your dreams, yeah
This life fading away,
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
(Time, time, time, time, time, time...)
Can't hide the clock
When every line shows on your face (face),
So take it slow,
You'll never win the human race
Time waits for no one, yeah,
Everything must change,
Stop running to the future,
Stop living for today
This life fading away,
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
Just live every moment of each day,
'Cause death is the price we all must pay
(This life fading away),
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
This life fading away,
This life ticking like a time bomb
Ready to blow your tortured mind
I know it's wasting away,
We don't plan for when it goes wrong,
The time that we lose,
We will never find time
Got to make a sense yeah
Everything affects ya
Your turning up the pressure
But can you keep it on?
Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time

It's only time that breaks you
Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time
It's only time that breaks you
Time
Time
Flowing like a river
Time
Beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friends (goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friends (who knows when we shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore
When the clock strikes two
There's so much to do
and I cant explain what i need
Jobs and social group
Hearing the latest new
keepin your reputation clean
And I dont wanna worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
and time runs your like again
The difference between east and west
monney means so much less
and objects aren't so important to buy
I wish that earth clock
could often just be stopped
and then we look into the time
And I Don't wanna worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in 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
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
And 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 nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
Written by: James Henman
When we so much younger girl
I use to laugh and call you names
But now I found myself much older
I can't find no one else to blame
I remember times I tried to lead you
But you never come my way
And when I promised you tomorrow
You were lost for things to say
A time has really turned around
Time has let me down
Time has really turned around
Time has let me down
Takin' pictures from my window
I thought I'd take a few of you
Time has skipped across my shoulder
And now I have nothin' left I can do
Time has let me down
Time has really turned around
Time has let me down
Verse 1:
There's a time to say hello, there's a time to say goodbye,
a time to understand or ask the questions why
you may think the time is long and you'll go on for miles;
but the time for you to give your life,
the time for you to make it right,
the time to give your life to Christ is now.
Chorus:
There's a time to laugh, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
but the time to give your life to Christ is now.
There's a time to laugh, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
but the time to give your life to Christ is now.
Verse 2:
There's a time for you to stay, a time for you to go away,
a time for you to live, a time for you to give,
a time to wear a smile, and a time to wear a frown;
the time for you to give your life,
the time for you to make it right,
a time to work, a time to play,
a time to go, and a time to stay,
a time to laugh, a time to cry,
a time to live, and a time to die,
but the time for you to give your life to Christ is now,
the time to give your life to Christ is now.
Chorus
Vamp:
Time, time, time, time.
Ending:
Sopranos:
The time to give your life,
the time to give
All: your life to Jesus.
(repeat as desired)
Sopranos:
The time to give your life to Christ is
Time rise time fall
Time leaves you nothing, nothing at all
Words, just words don't know
Words take you nowhere, nowhere to go, to go
Back, I'm going back
As I wake up in the morning on life's big rollercoaster
looking for the devil in disguise
As I look into the haze and maze and the lightning and the thunder
I hope an angel's on my side,
on my side
caus' time, time, time don't give a damn about tomorrow,
time (backround singers)
time don't really care about no yesterdays,
time (backround singers)
time is only watching all the pain we bear
all of the joy we share
do we care
time to wonder
as I look at all the faces, I've just got to stop and wonder
what are we searching for
everybody spys and lies and tries to talk about the future
as we're marching off to war
anybody keeping score
oh yeah
Caus' time, time, time don't give a damn about tomorrow
time, (backround singers)
time don't really care about no yesterdays,
time (backround singers),
time is only watching all the pain we bear
all of the joy we share
do we care
time to wonder
take a look around at all the time we wasted
take a look around and know that you're just passing through
when you find the truth that lies inside the darkness
will it ever come to be that you'll find the key
that will set you free, that will set you free, that will set you free
it's only time
time to wonder
it's time to wonder
ooh yeah, it's time to wonder
what are you going to do with your life?
time (backround singers)
what are you going to do with the time that you're living in?
time (backround singers)
it's time to wonder, it's time to wonder, it's time to wonder, it's time to wonder
Time isn't quite on our side
You see things have been hard on us both baby
Life hasn't been what we both though it would be babe
Let me say I'm just glad you put up with me
I used to feel rejected, but you make me feel respected
There's so much we expected, we'll make it through
Time will show us how true love can be
This love revolves around your honestly baby
You and me have to believe in destiny
Time for us has moved a bit too slow
At least for now there's something you should know
I love you baby, oh I'll never let you go
I need you by my side girl don't make me cry
Friends like all other have much to say
They don't seem proud of what's come my way
I know my friends mean no harm to me
But we'll show them this love will last an eternity
I used to feel rejected, but you make me feel respected
There's so much we expected, we'll make it through
Time will show us how true love can be
This love revolves around your honestly baby
You and me have to believe in destiny
Time for us has moved a bit too slow
At least for now there's something you should know
I love you baby, oh I'll never let you go
I need you by my side girl
Don't run and hide yet time is on our side
We can't just run and hide girl
It's all up to you just make my dreams come true
Time will show us how true love can be
This love revolves around your honestly baby
You and me have to believe in destiny
Time for us has moved a bit too slow
At least for now there's something you should know
I love you baby, oh I'll never let you go
Some people walk some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in white some wrapped in fearful black
Time oh time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never
live
Some folks treat me mean some treat me kind
Most folks just go their way don't pay me any mind
Time oh time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold sometimes it's hot
Sunset I laugh sunrise I cry midnight I'm in between and wondering why
Time oh time where did you go time oh good good time where did you go
I Got A Feeling She Keeps Me In The Dark
I Gotta Get Keep My Eye On Her She Ain't no Walk In The Park
I'd Offer This But She Want That She She She Want It All
You See She Wanted To Paint The Picture And Say She My Broad
I Got A Little Tip From Word On The Block People Saying I Shouldn't Get Involved
But I Don' Judge Or Try To change It 'Cause You Are Who You Are
I'm Like The Drug She's Addicted To Me She Can't Leave Me Now
She Always Making Plans To Date... come and find me tomorrow goodbye girl
She's too invested in the hours That Pass Her By
I'd Pay Attention If I Thought It Was Worth The Time
I tell her easy but Her Hands They Find A Way
Confusing Passion For The Love he never gave
Fall Back On Reasons That We Know Won't Stand A Chance
Watching her Shoulders Like A Memory From The Past
I tell her easy but Her Hands They Find A Way
Confusing Passion For The love he never gave
I Couldn't Get Rid Of Shawty If Wanted
Cause She Was Down But I Was Tired Of Playing The Role Like I Ain't Know That She Get Around
Something About This Girl Fascinates Me She's The Type That Likes To Hang With The Stars
The Way She Makes Me Feel And Sedates Me Who Knew We Would Take It This Far
Everywhere That I Try To Go She got a wanted poster With My Face On It
Soon As I Walk Out The Door There It Is wanted poster with my face on it
Can't Blame My Self And It's Not My Fault 'Cause Nothing Was Promised At Least I Could Say I
Arise, arise and follow me
as best you can
Come follow me, my measured dance
Come see my circus, come dice with chance
Now you are come beneath my sway
Who once was as the daylight gay
Here's rights and wrongs
and reasons why
A time to live
A time to die
I was your slave, now you are mine
I am Time, I am Time.
Experience will teach you what you may
and what you may not do
I'll teach you to forget the truths
you always knew
See what might be,
See what might have been
Though you yourself created me,
Your own mistake has set me free
I was your slave, now you are mine
I am Time, I am Time.
An endless chain of days go by
Can't scratch the surface, still I try
I'm going down, feeling underground
Just kicking the leaves all around this town
Can't catch the beat, I'm feeling ill
Too much time to kill
Time, time, time
Time to kill
Follow the footsteps down the stairs
Painted doorways, dirty rails
Take a ride on the evening blue
Gonna check out the crowds on Mott Avenue
Gonna watch the waves on Jamaica Bay
Far Rock away
Time, time, time
Time to kill
Time, time, time
Time to kill
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
(Smyth)
When I considered how my life is spent
They cry but I know that everything is heaven sent
But why do people lie when all they want is truth at their tables
The sky is looking very blue today
It's so fine I'd agree with every word you say
About it it must be said it doesn't mean much at all
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
There's no reason that we should complain
In the night everybody looks the same
It's so sad but we don't seem to be going forward at all
(Time)
(Time)
Time
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
(Come on time)
Time you make changes
Time you'll add ages
Time is walking with you by your side
Time gentlemen please
Time
This song is an instrumental song.
Time here,
all but means nothing, just shadows that move across the wall
They keep me company, but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothing at all.
And I need just a little more silence
And I need just a little more time
But you send your thieves to me
silently stalking me
Dragging me into your war
Would you give me no choice in this?
I know you can't resist, trying reopen a sore
Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for
You see love-- a tight, thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold
You have me to hold me
a token for all to see
captured to be yours alone
And I need just a little more silence,
and I just need a little more time
The courage to pull away
there will be hell to pay
the deeper you cut to the bone
Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for
Time here,
all but means nothing,
just shadows that move across the wall
They keep me company,
but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothing at all.
Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Kick it
Microphone check one, two got to run
Cause everything's money and son I got none
So I got to put my time in rhyme-in
With my crew kicking down tracks and climbing
Coming at you flowing sideways
Everything's my way
Kicking down rhymes from Friday to Friday
Debunk all the things that I find untrue
Got to make my way back cause
I got you
Time, I think its dead, I know it's dead
So lay down the rhythm and box out the beat
So let me get back to the program
If you don't get it then here comes the diagram
Boxing down beats like a heavyweight fighter
Spitting out rhymes like a Pulitzer writer
Always on top cause I won't ever let down
Blowing down beats like a nuclear meltdown
Do what I can cause I got to get through
And I won't ever come back cause I got you
Can I get that far
Let the time fly and give it up to the volume
Written by Ricki & Kim Wilde
They say that love is a dangerous thing
And hits your heart like a revolution
And all the pain it can bring
Will only lead to confusion
But now that love has come into my life
We'll I've discovered a different meaning
And there's no danger at all
It's just a beautiful feeling
I konw it's wrong to keep it inside for so long
When we both could see it coming
It was just a matter of time
Time
Falling in love with you was just a matter of time
Falling in love with you
It seems so long ago we were just friends
Different people with different faces
just getting on with our lives
Isn't it funny how fate is
But I know it's right the way that we're feeling tonight
Cos we both could feel it coming
It was just a matter of time
Time
Falling in love with you was just a matter of time
Baby, I knew with you it was just a matter of time
Something so good was worth waiting for
Now it's easy to say that I love you
When you're feeling it too
Cos we knew in our hearts
That is was just a matter of time
Falling in love with you
(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson)Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows if we shall ever meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermoreGoodbye my friends, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friends, stars wait for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Jesus my heart belongs to you
But I feel like I failed to be all that I've wanted to
So here I am
With not much to give to you
I won't waste this time
I'm coming back to you
I won't waste this time
And I'm on my knees
I won't waste this time
I won't - I need
I won't waste this time
Jesus I'm lifeless far from you
Forgive me for waiting
To believe in the grace you've offered me
I'm surrendered
And here I am with not much to give to you
A rush of words too small to thank you
But I've been so consumed by your unending love
How do I even begin to repay
[Nature]
At the right major 24, I'd done seen it all done it all
Some dreams stay fresh and some are spoiled
Dealing with time went to spring, summer, fall
Its crazy changes, is this that made me famous?
I come a long way from Timbs, minimum wages
Stocking caps summer jobs pockets flat
It's funny how my childhood idols now be coping cracks
Ain't knocking at them, fortunately life is too short to see
It's only right we move accordingly at every second
I use to carry heavy weapons, previously cocked
Tucked in my shirt for every session, but hold up
The two-six beer made me grow up
Came home to the damn same dream with no luck
And half the clique strong, the other half moved on
Some with new lives and new wives niggaz live long
The foulest thing about time is still ticks when you gone
[Nas]
For those who lived the way I lived we came from a long way
From wiping coal from our eye lids from raps hottest
Smoking lye to the track guidance, 'member back then
Before mack 10's expensive bottles, had a sick mind
Niggaz taught me how to get mine
We often sit courts they get tossed that get spit lines
To all niggaz that the Lord seemed to legit time
Why we plan to live for-ev he had a different design
Is it safe to say we all parish on the sacred day
With my luck soon as I reach the gate that made me pay... pray
Minutes go by indo-go-high the specialist decked out dark specks finessing
Used to play catch a kiss same girls back then now leave us messages
A whole lot, travel to my old spot where we sold rock although it's trifle
Ain't nothing changed as like time is cycle
[AZ]
Yo, wake up to the world stay in charge of your dream
Keep your vision focus get wise and large your cream
Marketing scheme so many in the dark it's un-seemed
Caught up between perhaps rap was a fortunate thing
Forced to be king from hustlin to supporting them fiends
Busting guns, I had no remorse as a team
Rocking bird stones my first get big nursed a dome
Its hurts to zone now I realize I'm on the surface alone
Time ticks devilish mind design quits leave you line quick
And cause you to die behind shit, mathematics
Master 120 I'm Aziatic, I'm amazed with magic
Cousins with loosen that made me savage
Life changed once you established with the right game
Love the night vane found the new way to fight pain
Clocks never stop its all the way to the top
Arise, arise and follow me
as best you can
Come follow me, my measured dance
Come see my circus, come dice with chance
Now you are come beneath my sway
Who once was as the daylight gay
Here's rights and wrongs
and reasons why
A time to live
A time to die
I was your slave, now you are mine
I am Time, I am Time.
Experience will teach you what you may
and what you may not do
I'll teach you to forget the truths
you always knew
See what might be,
See what might have been
Though you yourself created me,
Your own mistake has set me free
I was your slave, now you are mine
Watch the seconds turn to hours
See the sunshine turn to shadows
It could be so easy
If I just had time
Baby please believe me
You're always on my mind
We could work it out
If we just had time
Can't stop the wheels are turning
Can't stop the fire from burning
Can't give when I should say
Can't take to try somebody
Can't stop the wheels from turning
Can't stop the fire from burning
Can't give when I should say
Can't take to try somebody
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
If I just had time
Well I think that I could make it right
If I just had time
You're so kind-souled, you're so sweet
Makes me nervous when we meet
It could be so easy
If I just had time
Baby please believe me
You're always on my mind
It could be so easy
If we just had time
Can't stop the wheels are turning
Can't stop the fire from burning
Can't give when I should say
Can't take to try somebody
Can't stop the wheels from turning
Can't stop the fire from burning
Can't give when I should say
Can't take to try somebody
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
If I just had time
Well I think that I could make it right
If I just had time
Scott/Tucker/Priest/Connolly
We are spend about life
Get around, oh where in time
Seems my mind goes like when
Good times are coming back again
People say that I'm wrong
A man can't travel back alone
I got to travel like life
What I've done wrong
I must make right
Beat my mind
See my sign
Help me find - time
Some things are thing's that I've done
For no one a reason I will be hung
I've got to go on the same
Somewhere or something I clear my name
Beat my mind
See my sign
Help me find - time
Beat my mind
See my sign
Help me find - time
Beat my mind
See my sign
Help me find - time
Time, - time, - time, - time
Time, - time, - time, - time
It's Suddenly Septenber
I like to listen to the rain come down
I was never very good company
You were the loneliest game in town
Lots of painful memories
all stored up in my head
like the day you chose the high road
and I took the low instead
Disappointment slowly turned to rage,
I guess it's the point I missed
When blood starts boiling all the world a stage
For some it's more than this
"So open up you heart and raise the son"
"God knows how long you'll be on this earth"
"Follow all the footsteps in the sand"
"Promise me you'll do the best you can"
You can't Turn Back.
Im staring out my window
watching all the clouds go by
It's starting to look like winter
and it's gettin kind of cold inside
I guess when all is said and done
I've gotta bow out gracefully
If time can make the seasons change
It's bound to make a change on me
Desperation rears it's ugly head
Give me the will to fight
Indecision Make the Final Call
Do you know whats right?
"So open up you heart and raise the son"
"God knows how long you'll be on this earth"
"Follow all the footsteps in the sand"
"Promise me you'll do the best you can"
Think of me
Anyway you want
I can be
The problem if that's easier
In your head
Move the pieces around
Things I've said
Turn the memory upside down
And it makes it better I know
But sometimes it's hard to swallow
In time I will fade away
In time I won't hear what you say
In time, but time takes time you know
Tell your friends
The things they wanna hear and see
Start the drums
Band against the enemy
And in time I will fade away
In time I won't care what you say
In time, but time takes time you know
In your head
Move the pieces round
Things I've said
Turn the memory upside down
It might make it better, I know
But sometimes it's hard to swallow
In time I will fade away
In time I won't care what you say
In time, but time takes time you know
time is running so fast
how long will it last
it could be an hour
it could be a day
we won't survive the time
we'll die anyway
You're always welcome
To stop on by
I'll be there baby
To get you high
You're thinking maybe
This one' for real
You don't know
How good you fell
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Come on in
We can be free
No one will be here
No one will see
It's nobody's business
What we do
You want me
Baby I want you
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Life is too tough
To work all day
What does it cost
To earn your pay
If the man is breaking your will
He won't reward you
But I will
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Here we go again
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time

Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time

Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
Gimme some time
Real good time
Gimme some time
Time
How come you don't make time for me anymore
That's the last thing she said to you
And now when you call she don't answer anymore
Or the line is busy and you can't get through
In the time it would take you to learn from your mistakes
In the time it would take to dial the phone
In the time it will take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone, she's moved on
To someone who takes the time
Her love wasn't a priority to you
You had other things on your mind
And now that it's much to little and so far too late
The busy signals all that's left behind
You're all alone
In the time it would take you to learn from your mistakes
In the time it would take to dial the phone
In the time it will take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone, she's moved on
To someone who takes the time
Hey, no one knows what they have until they don't
And by then it doesn't matter anymore
You're all alone
In the time it would take you to learn from your mistakes
In the time it would take to dial the phone
And the time it would take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone (she'll be gone)
In the time it will take you to realize her greatness, she'll be gone, she's moved on
[Instrumental]
Time, how log it's gonna last?
I'm livin' in the past and runnin' out of time
I keep runnin' round in cirdles
I keep walkin' in the dark
I keep tryin' to wash away the devil's mark
I have my reasons to remember
I have my reasons to forget
I have my reasons to reject a safety net
'Coz we'll all fall down on the cold, cold ground
Don't you turn around - Who's crime?
Time - I'm runnn' out of
Time - I've wasted all my
Time - I'm gonna need some
I'm runnin' out of time
I'm gonna finish off confusions
I'm gonna leave it all for good
I'm gonna quit on bein' left misunderstood
I'm gettin' rid of my illusions
I'm gettin' tired of the crowd
I'm gettin' out, I'm checkin' out, I'm gettin' out
'Coz we'll all fall down on the cold, cold ground
Ohh.. Time...
Time..
They say timing... is everything
But nothing you control
'Cause there's always tomorrow
But tomorrow never knows
It's 1 day at a
Time keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
Time.. time..
And the journey of a lifetime
Will begin with one step
When you're climbing up that mountain
It's so easy to forget
It's one step at a time
Time keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
Time
Keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
Time
Oh time oh...
Whoa.. Oh... Whoa.. Ohh.. Whoa...!
Hah! Ooooh.. I said now
Time keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
Well He hasn't always been around
And He won't always be.
But He's on the move at this moment
Measuring life for you and me.
I fear we all submit to him
Existing anxiously,
And no one is able to turn him off
Except the Lord who holds the key.
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
Too late for apologies.
Too late to forgive your brother,
Too late to get on your knees.
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
Too late to help the needy
And worst of all it's too late to turn
You must face eternity.
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
His name is Time where will you be my friend?
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
His name is Time where will you be my friend?
Most people think he'll never stop
He'll go on perpetually,
But old man time is running out
And he'll cease eventually.
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
Too late for apologies.
Too late to forgive your brother,
Too late to get on your knees.
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
Too late to help the needy
And worst of all it's too late to turn
You must face eternity.
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
His name is Time where will you be my friend?
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
Somebody ought to have told me
Told me you couldn't be true
Somebody ought to have told me now
But that wouldn't be like you
But no one's gotta tell me
After all you put me through
You dropped me like a habit
Of which you had a few
Your scent is on the glass tonight
Swirling in the wine
Scrambling the back of my brain
The irony sublime
It's warm bouquet and pungent flame
Light this ancient street
The avenue of no name
I'll fall into its beat
Nobody loved like you....
Time
Won't you let me be
After all that we've been through
I talk to myself cos I aint got nobody else
Nobody else but you
I've walked for miles
I've walked a long time
To get to the place that I've got to.... yeah
There's nothing left and nobody.... nobody
Nobody left but you
Time
Please set me free
Why couldn't you be true
I walk that walk.... yeah
I talk that talk
But there's nobody left but you... you
Time
Won't you let me be
After all that we've been through
I talk to myself cos I aint got nobody else
This time I wanna know
what life means...
...to live it again
I'm looking forward, feel the
light shine in my eyes...
And now I know, my instincts
were not wrong,
and many things can be done
I don't believe now,
That I'm dreaming alone
Oh, we're searching for the love
that everyone's got,
but can't see [yeah]
Oh, beyond the flesh and blood
there's so much hidden behind
as so much more we've gotta give...
Sanity brings up the sadness
that keeps your ilusions locked
in a little box
Fright comes, you find yourself lonely
in a cage of conclusions
crowding your mind
You sit back bowing your head,
every answer - yes
Why don't you trust me
and shed out your fears,
Running over
the tears you've contained
now cover up your eyes,
- Is it good for you?
I will be here when fire burns!...
Welcome on board
over here is the ship of your life
So rotten
that will cast away
I'll be your sweet lullaby
all the night
And if you get lost
you can hold my hand...
And I'll be here when fire burns
[inside your heart]
Climb up the hills and mountains,
don't forget what you've learned!
Life make us feel
the time we cannot hold
Time make us live
a tale already told
Time make us heal
a feeling inside
a feeling that lies in your heart
that we stole away...
And I'll be here when fire burns
[inside your heart]
Climb up the hills and mountains,
don't forget what you've learned!
Life make us feel [life make us feel]
the time we cannot hold
Time make us live [time make us live]
a tale already told
Time make us heal [time make us heal]
a feeling inside
a feeling that lies in your heart

Time
Written by Supergrass
The time, is on the way,
My love,
I know I'm going away,
My love,
Yeah, I know what I, I see, have it all you,
Yeah, I know what I, I see, have it all,
The live, that feeling inside,
My love,
I know I'm going away,
My love,
Yeah, I know what I, I see, have it all you,
Yeah, I know what I, I see, have it all,
Yeah, I know what I, I see, have it all you,
Now, I know what I, I see, have it all,
Yeah, I know what I, have it all you
I can see clearly now he's gone
He made you so uneasy
Before you changed your mind
I couldn't go on that way
You made it so hard for me will you ever know just why
But now you changed your mind will you make it hard again
Time after time Time after time Time after time
You said you wouldn't but I know that you didn't care
I was never there We can start trying now and you can stop crying now
We know that time will tell us what we want
Now look how far we've come we always went our way
The time we're waiting on will soon come our way
Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.
Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying
Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of rag
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight
Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...
[chorus:]
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where i'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep
[chorus]
Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
[chorus]
Time.
You've got to wake up ev'rybody,
Seven-thirty o'clock,
It's time to go to work.
A-send the young to school,
Gonna teach them the golden rule.
Talk about things that they don't wanna know about.
Now teacher, teacher, can't you see,
I'm tired and I need some sleep.
I don't wanna hear whatcha gotta say
About arithmetic or history.
All that jive don't mean a thing to me.
It's all a waste of time.
I ain't got no time for doin' this,
Ain't got no time for doin' that,
Ain't got no time for that at all, no!
I ain't got no time for messin' 'round,
For funky bullshit goin' down.
Just time for rock-n-roll. Oh yeah.
I just got time to rock-n-roll.
Why now, must they take my favorite song,
Turn around and say it's wrong, when I know it's right?
Now, why don't they just leave it alone,
'Cause it's only rock-n-roll, but I like it!!
Now, listen Mrs. Politician,
Don't ya try to tell me how to sing my song.
Tell me, who do you think you are?!
Who do you think you are?!
I ain't got no time for messin' 'round,
For funky bullshit goin' down.
No time for that at all, no!
I ain't got no time for Uncle Sam,
Taxin' my money, tax my land.
Just time for rock-n-roll, woh yeah!
I just got time to rock-n-roll!
I see the wonders of creation here within my grasp.
I cannot stop to smell the roses, don't have the time got to move too fast.
You're seen in the horizon but the clouds are oh so dense.
Living in these manic days can rob you of precious times of praise.
(Chorus):
Time, I need to spend more time. Time to give glory to You.
Time, I need to spend more time, just a little more time to spend with You
When was the last time that I heard you speak through the wind that whispers words?
This hectic lifestyle isn't what you want for me,
I'd slow down if I felt I really could.
Time it keeps on giving if I give it half a chance.
Living in these manic days can rob you of precious times of praise.
(Chorus)
I really have no good excuses, you've given me the breath of life.
The least I could do is sip this cup with you, Drink up your love alleviate the strife.
(Chorus)
Just a little, just a little more time. (Repeated)
Got to, want to, need to spend more time with you.
Intro
I spy a girl with a book in hand
Playing games with her body to forget about a man
I spy a man with a book in hand
He's abusin everybody would agree that he can
Is it working?
Is it working for you?
Is it worth it?
Hide the eyes from the truth
I spy a girl with a falling man
Working nights, sleeping days to forget about the past
I spy a man with a twisted plan
Playing love with his body to escape the pain
Is it working?
Is it working for you?
Wooo is it worth it?
Hide the eyes from the truth
Maybe time, can
Fill the empty heart inside
Maybe time, can
Wipe the tears away
Maybe time echo Fill the empty heart inside
Maybe time (maybe time) can,
Wipe the tears away

Hazel O`Connor
Wasn't it good the rose coloured glasses
Playing our games, taking our chances
Time was our friend, seemed to stand still
We were immortal that was until
We thought we take our fill
We'd time to kill
The time ran out on us
Time - ain't on our side
Time - took us for a ride
Then time ran out on us
How could we see the way that things change
Time takes its toll don't stay the same
Suddenly now is a long time gone
Time is immortal it waits for none
It's here and it's gone, the time run out on us
Time - ain't on our side
Time - took us for a ride
Then time ran out on us
Oh do you remember the first kiss in a darkened doorway
So naive and tender, eyes closed
Dreaming away. Do you remember?
We were forever, then time ran out on us
Somewhere in daydreams the things you won't find,
Rain hiding tears without traces.
I know that deep down no reason or rhyme,
Even the smile on our faces.
Time goes so slowly, day after day,
Time goes, love grows.
Only the fears as you go through the years,
Till the last sand of time blows away,
The last sand of time blows away.
Locked up with freedom you don't want at all,
In crowds there is no-one to turn to.
Down when you're high is a long way to fall,
And all the mistakes you won't learn through.
Time is for ever and no-one can say,
Time shows, love goes.
Only the fears as you go through the years,
Till the last sand of time blows away.
Some people run
Some people crawl
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward
Some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in white
Some wrapped in fearful black
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Some people never get
And some never give
Some people never die
But some never live
Some folks they treat me mean
Some treat me kind
But most folks just go their way
Don't pay me no mind
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Sometimes I'm satisfied
Sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold
Sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh
But at sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between
And wondering why
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Full of deception and of lies
We played the game
But through the fog our love survived
We gave our hearts
Able to see though we were blinded
This kept us sane
I’ll be consenting every moment
Your beauty calls
Time is a million miles away
Time is a million miles away
And so we tantalize each other
For endless hours
Being two halves that make a whole
We’ll never fall
Once we have faith in one another
All’s left behind us
With you I know that time is endless
I can close my eyes
Time is a million miles away
Time is a million miles away
We tantalize each other
We love for endless hours
Have faith in one another
We’ll reach the highest towers
I said something wrong it never fails
It kept us up all night
But time has her own way of showing today
In a different light
Friends come and they go, everyone knows
That's the way it goes
But time has her own way of showing today
In a different light
Dreams, sometimes come true like mine of you
When you love me like you do
Time has her own means to show us our dreams
I'd like to take a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeah
I finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeah
And reason and I've learned that
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know now
I can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothing
I probably never be penniless or hopeless.
So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that I've grown to

(time time time)
It may be true that it`s worth another try
And then again I often wonder why (why)
There`s no answer there`s no reason left to stay
Is it time? (is it time)
Tell me there`s another way
Refrain (2x):
Time
Take us back in time
Why can`t we rewind and take us back to where we use to
(time time time)
It may be true that we shouldn`t let this die
and then again I often wonder why (why)
Everyday feels like there`s nothing left to stay
Is it time?
Tell me there`s another way
(time time time)
There`s no answer there`s no reason left to stay
Is it time?
Tell me there`s another way
Refrain (2x):
(time time time)
Time
Take us back in time
Why can`t we rewind and take us back to where we use to
(time time time)
Time
Take us back in time
Why can`t we rewind and take us back to where we use to
Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
Time
Just a counter-clockwise in motion
Time
It requires strength, love, and devotion
Time
A detention of every person
Time
Is used to make us free again
When we can turn back time, to any time
By moving on inside
And will we still ask why about the time
Or be just fine inside of our minds?
Time
Grows things older, faster when you find it
Time
It's wasting away while we spend it
Time
The reflection of our past with it
Time
Is used to make things right again
When we can turn back time, to any time
By moving on inside
And will we still ask why about the time
Or be just fine inside of our minds?
I can see this coming over my mind
Cause you're right
It's life, my light
When we can turn back time, to any time
By moving on inside
And will we still ask why about the time
Or be just fine inside
When we can turn back time, to any time
By moving on inside
And will we still ask why about the time
Or be just fine inside of our minds?
Our minds
Because you're right
Inside our minds
It's been some months and here she is again
In the room where we did it all
Careless reminders of another girl staying here
Are hard to ignore
She don't feel jealous no, she just feels strange
Time is doing well by us
Beautiful when love fades slowly
And we talk with the ease of old
Later on, cooling down slow
Nothing between us solved
Our love is fading, but how could you tell?
It's killing the pain, sparing the love
It's doing well by us
Time
Time
Time is doing well by us
It's been some months since she came around
Lying where she used to lie
She's so beautiful I could eat her
Been some months, making me love too slow
Making me love so, so long
[Intro: sample]
I know how tough it is *gunshot*
[Killah Priest]
My life flashes, I'm eight years old, my face stares cold
At the pastor, as he picks up the robe
He reads a chapter, his voice is like, grabbin' my soul
The seeds turn blacker and finally it fades out slow
The hearing after, a whole brand new screen show
I hear laughter, it's my birthday, I'm eighteen years old
I'm on gates between Monroe, eight fiends and young hoes
The flake dreams with gun blows, wake screams and blunt rose
Up, they lit it, some hit it, I'm drunk
So much, that I can't see straight
Another flash, I'm in a fancy place
A waiter walks over, hands me a plate
I trance it to escape, but it's too late
I shoot my casket, my moms screamin' bastard
Ya'll know who killed them, filled them with them lugers
Ruger, you God damn hoodlums
But it's too late, I see the king in the New Jerusalem
I can touch the gates
[Chorus 2X: Savoy]
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day, I dream it feels like a nation, listen
[Killah Priest]
Was this my fate, to be judged in this place
Angels watchin' me, I step up to plead my case
I see his face in black space, okay let me back space
Somethin' went front between that gat and my waste
Somethin' went wrong between the slow reaction when they were clappin' my way
Is this the judgment, the place where every thug has been
After hearin' gun fire, and slugs go in
Are you the chosen, or the one known as the omen
The gates are open, I wanna know where I'm going
Is this the place I was destined to come, I slept in the slums
Next to a bum, saw death pestilence and guns
I was born cold naked and young
Mouth open, rings slashin' off of cardboard, wettin' my tongue
We prayed for the shepherd to come
I was called a monster, I was a youngster
Crawlin' out the dumpster, toes were bloody, clothes we muddy
Eyes were crummy, peeped to the skies above me
Cried I'm ugly, found out this life don't love me
Despised by the country, paralyzed in my one knee
Talked to the most high, Priest, hug me, real, real
[Chorus 2X]
[Interlude: Savoy]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Priesthood, Savoy Murda
G-13, what's poppin', oh, no, no, no
No, it's real, it's real
It's real, just sing it when it's real
It's real, it's real, it's real, it's real
Throw the ring inside, Theja it's just right
Throw the ring and be free
It's just a headache, what's got in you late
Throw the ring and be free
Just can't, it belongs to me
No I won't, no matter what you see
The final deed is in your hand
Time to get free now
Time to be free now
My friend do what's right, you must now win
The fight, it depends on you
Think about Xanteur, make no surrender
At the edge of the dark
Don't cry, undrestand
Without ring I can not stand
Without ring my life is at an end
Time.
There - who's creeping upon on me?
Who - swipes the ring? I can't see
On the crater walls they fought
The brave one tried to make this stop
The foe fell in the fire slot
Time.
I see through.
The gray facade.
Solemn expression.
Time goes on.
Ageless questions.
Pointless passing thoughts.
Time goes on.
Backwards forwards.
Meaningless answers.
Time goes on.
Insight on model values.
Problem faced?
On scriptless parts.
Screaming.
The confrontation.
Problem faced?
Time, time goes on.
I see through.
The gray facade.
Solemn expression.

Time's a teacher yesterday
You know I had nothin' but time
Why'd you have to go away?
I never got to tell you goodbye
And time beats up on you
Life is funny, life is strange
You know I'm just trying to get by
Money, honey, buys you things
It can't buy a place in the sky
And time beats up on you
Another year disappeared
Where did it go?
People ask me
What's the time?
I really don't know
I really don't know
I really don't
I really don't know
And time beats up on you
And time beats up on you
Time beats up on
Time beats up on
Time beats up on
Time beats up on you
Beats up on you
We don't talk like we used to.
The perfect present is no longer the future.
And I can't find it, trust me I looked around.
Seems like all the sand is at the bottom now.
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go.
I hope we survive because it's passing by,
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
time time time (I wish we could rewind) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
We are the shore, the wave is rising
We are the dust made out of diamonds
When metal rusts, we are all drowning
Island of man, we are surrounded
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go.
I hope we survive because it's passing by,
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
time (time, time, time, time, time) time time time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
Make a little love, make a little war, tell me how it feels dreaming without a future
have a little laugh, have a little cry, each moment gets us closer to saying goodbye
Make a little love, make a little war, tell me how it feels dreaming without a future
have a little laugh, have a little cry, each moment gets us closer to saying goodbye
Big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand all good things come to an end and turn around again
The big hand keeps getting closer to the little hand all good things come to an end
We gotta know, know when to fight, know when to hold, and when to let it go.
I hope we survive because it's passing by,
I won't be surprised if it all up and blows.
Time time time (If it all up and blows) time time time time (I wish we could rewind)

time (time, time, time, time, time) time time time time time time (I wish we could rewind)
I wish we could rewind
Can I see your world
through your locket
counting the thoughts of forgotten
drifting alone then the sorrow
passing the time or is it borrowed
can I see your world
can I see your world
can I see your world
through your locket
painting her mind
makes her forget
places they've gone to
but paths not traveled yet
looking to the day
when the heavens take her away
will you take me there
will you take me
can I speak to you there
oh, please speak to me
speak to me
A hundred miles an hour
Out on highway 10
Top down burning up the night again
Ain't no one can catch you
But girl I'm gonna try
I can see that dangerous look in your eyes
You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight
I saw you at the drive-in
Dancing on a car
Rocking to the radio underneath the stars
Living every moment like it was your last
Don't know where you're going
You're just going fast
You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight
I ain't afraid of nothing
When I'm out with you
Running through the shadows
Chasing down the moon
Pushing to the limit
Isn't far enough
Let's go off the edge
And fall all the way in love
You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight
You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight
You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight
Does anybody really know, what time it is?
Alles sucht Veränderung und sucht das
Schnelle Gl¨¹ck
Jeder will nach vorne heute,
Niemand will zur¨¹ck
Keiner hat zu wenig,
Doch auch selten mal genug
We wanna change our face,
Our name, our look
Business Manifestos, schedules, you and me
The reason all behind is jah you know,
It's clear to see
The changes are
The magic words we are talking about
Change, change work it all out
Oh, oh, oh it's all up to you?
And the boys are singing
Oh, oh, oh
What'ya gonna do?
Nothing cause
TIME changes the world
TIME changes the game
TIME changes the fame
Time, time, time, time
Technokraten in their ivory tower
Warten st¨¹ndlich for the golden shower
Ganz im Zeichen der neuen Ordnung
Erstellt man täglich eine neue Forderung
Ungeachtet supersiver Perspectktiven
Stellt man täglich neue Direktiven
Spring auf mich, wir schweigen uns Wund
Denn heiss ist das Eis und das weiss dein Mund
Oh, oh, oh it's all up to you?
And the boys are singing
Oh, oh, oh
What'ya gonna do?
Nothing cause
TIME changes the world
TIME changes the game
TIME changes the fame
Time, time, time, time
TIME changes the world
TIME changes the game
TIME changes the fame
Time, time, time, time
[Intro: 60 Second Assassin]
It's already too late for situation
There's not enough Time situation man, ya know what I'm sayin'
It's already a do it right situation man
Time is runnin' the fuck out, man I mean
I can't even... my head is gone right now man
I don't know what to do man, only thing I say is S.O.M.
[60 Second Assassin]
Here in this second at Time
Evacuate the premises, here's another one
Nothing is heard but the audience and me givin' the drummer some
Relax in the place, here in the nick of time
Leave faces erased, kill with another mic, save
13 seconds already elapsed, perhaps
A mass murderer take the set with 45 seconds gap
A Betherley meek me freestyle is conspiracy
So King Ling sling, the rap Menace II Society
You actually have to step over mountain
Fork it with this babble abuse of New York's, an Apple
Come bite of this forbidden fruit
I Declare War as the sand begins to pore
With 28 seconds to fall, call the cops at city mall
[60 Sec' talking in the background]
[Chorus: 60 Second Assassin]
Time is runnin' out
It's true without a doubt
[60 Second Assassin *singing*]
Hey you, what you wanna do
Everybody get down to the 60 sound
This one's for everybody here, for you to see
War, stagnation, headin' for our nation
Lets bring our thoughts to unity
[Break: 60 Second Assassin]
Evreybody uptight tryna get their head right
Housing price is too high
Black community soon to die
Young ones here and there tryna get a nickel share
S.O.M., who will come with the master plan, S.O.M.
[Chorus x2]
[Break: 60 Second Assassin]
Know what I'm sayin'
Straight in the east side
Doin' our thing
Straight from the east side
Been doin' the east side
[Outro: Hell Razah (60 Seconds Assassin]
(Brilliant son, just heard that bangin' ass shit you just did son
"Doin' our thing") That was straight business
(Yo man right now, it's like where you comin' right now
We comin' on the farther level right now
Everybody gotta step their pen game up, aight
Go and re-write their albums and all of that
Cuz right now S.O.M. is about to lay something totally different
Time
On and on
You follow a line
On and on
Unchained to the time
On and on
You blame it on time
Don’t you know
What’s wrong with your life
YOU’RE THE ONE TO BELIEVE
IN WHAT YOU DO
YOU’RE THE ONE TO BE STRONG
WHEN YOU FEEL BLUE
YOU’RE THE ONE TO BELIEVE
IN WHAT YOU’RE GONNA DO
On your own
To make up your mind
All you want
Well we're trapped
In this human body
Yes I'm trapped
I've got no place else to go
And I can't even help my brothers
Cause there's still so much I don't know
I just need some time
To figure out
Time to figure out
Time to figure this thing out
I just needed some time
Well we're trapped
In this modern city
Yes I'm trapped
With this fancy drugs
And I can't even please my mother
Cause there's still so much that she don't know
I just need some time
To figure out
Time to figure out
Time to figure this thing out
I just needed some time
Oh I just need some time
Yes I could use some time
Oh do you have the time
This can't be all for nothing
But the smile is all thats on my [?]
Time to figure out
Time to figure out
Time to figure this thing out
I could use some time
To figure out
Time to figure out
Time to figure this thing out
Said all these people, they won't leave me alone
And we need little time to ourselves
And half the reasons why, I'm sketching all the time
The result of a life in hell, but oh well, I think it's time
My faith is falling like the leaves from a tree, the pockets both take it away
The sun warms my body as I'm sitting on a swing watching
Columbus clouds bring in the rain, oh well I think it's time
Yea its time to go
My mind is playing tricks on me all the time
To let you know that I am real and all the worries you build
Up inside your soul, the ones that make your world stand still
Mean you can feel, that it's time to go
Are you fed up, are you fed up with me?
Do you think you are fed up?
Five fed up faces with the itch to kill a king
Blood red sunrise, and a breath to air that's clean
I drink from the faucet from the porch I take a pee
Look at you through the bushes where you can't see me
I laugh and slip into another state of mind
To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build up inside your soul
The ones that make your world stand still
Mean you can feel, that it's time to go
Ain't the snow fallin' just a bit deeper these days
Aren't they building the stairs a bit steeper these days
And the town's really changin' in so many ways time time time
The young folks they're growin' exceptionally tall
And the newspaper print it's becomin' quite small
And folks speak so softly you can hardly hear at all time time time
The jokes don't seem as witty as the old jokes once were
And the girls are half as pretty as I remember her
And today you know in the park a young man called me sir time time time
Yeah I'm not quite as anxious for fame or success
And my eye finds the girl in the plain quiet dress
And I cling a bit longer to each warm caress time time time
So I breathe a bit heavy when I climb a hill
What of it my life now is really much more fulfilled
But they're tearin' down the building that I watched them build
Time time time time time time
Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you stay
Look at the time, it's after five, soon the day is over
Mr.Magic said,"We'd meet before the rise"
I recall when 60 minutes used to be an hour
As usual I find myself reading sky
"Never mind", I said to myself
Never, never mind, I'm not owned by myself
Many have these feelings, they remain on the shelf
How can I be sure?
Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you could stay
Sitting around I hear no sound, only the clock is ticking
Seconds turn to minutes purely on their own
When asleep and all is dark, I spend my dreaming wishing
I got a feeling I'm not all alone
Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you will stay
Got a feeling, yes I'm reeling
I'm trying but I'm lying to myself
When I'm sitting and I'm thinking
How can I be sure?
How can I be sure?
Oh, time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on slipping away?
Time oh time, umpteens I have to time
Oh how I wish you will stay
Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on slipping away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you will stay
Oh, time oh time, what can I do?
I find myself, I'm relying on you sometimes
I get in right, I follow through
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea

Time is what you need, time

Time will give you wing like a butterfly
You wanna go for something crazy
I'll take you out of here
Time will be, time has passed
Time will make the first be the last
And it'll shake your mind off your body
So let it go then
I wanna see your face in the morning when you wake up
And when you see my eyes
You will know there's nothing made up
'cause I just wanna get high
'n lose control
Get together and let it all be
Time will eat, time will sleep
Time will stick in your head just like a beat
And it's not gonna wait for you
So may you never wait for it

[Bonus Track]
..I am here. I am waiting. Now I Fear. What I'm Waiting for. I can see. Far as Heaven.
Still I seem. Blind to what's been going on. I've been waiting for too long.
Time can feel, unforgiving. I can see. Only yesterday. Why can't we,look to the future?
Where we'll be. Will tomorrow ever come?
I've been waiting for too long. I've been waiting for too long.
Now my life like a cigarette burning down the side.
While the days one by one all passing by. And the time is slowly winding down.
I am here. I've been waiting for too long. Time never sleeps. Ever drifting. I can't keep.
It's safe and locked away. Just like sand through my fingers. It slips on by.
I can’t explain can’t quite put my finger on
The difference that makes us so different
We’ve said everything our words only betrayed us
Nothing is left, nothing was left unsaid
Chorus
This time I have nothing left to lose
I’m stuck the second hand won’t move
It’s about time that I speak my mind
It’s about time, about time I find
Pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
You cover yourself, you cover your skin
You cover yourself like you cover your sin
Please untie my hands, I’m a sinner, I’m a man
I ask for one minute to make you understand
Chorus
This time I have nothing left to lose
I’m stuck the second hand won’t move
It’s about time that I speak my mind
It’s about time, about time I find
Pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
Will you be there to catch me when I stumble
When I fall, when I fall
It’s so very clear you left me when I had no one at all
No one at all
Who will be there to catch me
To catch me when I stumble
When I fall, when I fall
It’s so very clear you left me
You left me with no one at all, no one at all
Chorus
This time I have nothing left to lose
I’m stuck the second hand won’t move
It’s about time that I speak my mind
It’s about time, about time I find
Pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
No friend of mine
Time you’re no friend of mine
You’re no friend of mine
Hey time you’re not friend of mine
Hey time you’re not friend of mine
The pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Time, time you’re no friend of mine
The time is not my ally
I swing at the edge of the words
I await eternally
the moment I have dreamed of
temptation of elements
neverending is so great
they are passing too fast
darkness, light, night, day
I am the ray but time is the light
when will my heart feel the wind
who knows the taste of freedom
who knows the taste of calm
I must fly above reality
I must fly above the real
the wandering is not my karma
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for nobody
We all must plan our hopes together
Or well have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody
We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it all
The fact that is runnning out
For us all
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because Time it waits for nobody
You dont need me too tell you what's gone wrong
You know whats gonig on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
or confided in each other at all
It seems that we've all got our backs
Against the wall
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust in one another
Or there be no mmore future at all
Time, Time waits for nobody
Waits for nobody
Time, Time, Time, Time....
Waits for noody at all
Time waits for nobody
Time dont wait for no one
Let us free ths world forever
And build a brand new future for us all
Time
Waits for nobody, nobody, nody
I am the hours and moments of your yesterday
I am your time gone by
Oer days and ages fleeting, long since passed away
As endless years roll by.
Ill rise in the spark of life the dawn of all time.
Ill call to the world still yet to be.
The music is everywhere,
In life, in the sea and air
To join in the perfect song of all eternity.
I am the hours, the days and moments yet to come
Until the end of time
All the centuries and seasons that are still to run
As endless years roll by.
Ill rise in the spark of life the dawn of all time
Ill call to the world still yet to be
The music is everywhere
In life, in the sea and air
To join in the perfect song of all eternity
The noon of creation rings
And all in the heavens sing
The glorious song through all eternity.
And so I wept and raged and cried
And came through on the other side
I thought what is this that dissolves to dust
What remains of the two of us
You have left an empty space
A memory that's hard to trace
A momentary flash of light
In Time
And all across the universe
Everything expanding
At once a blessing and a curse
A beginning and an ending
I don't know the mystery
Of why we're here or how we came to be
I think we're measured by our heart
If we've been kind and done our part
Will anyone remember me?
I guess my friends, my family
We're intertwined - their lives and mine
In Time
And all around the world tonight
People are embracing
Cause it's all about the love you give
And you don't want to waste it
There's a river dark and deep
Holding visions you can't keep
But the water flows too slow
Where it end you'll never know
Like a clock that's spinning round
Only ticking is the sound
Like an endless wheel of fortune
And you're losing the ground
And it seems
There's never an end
And all your dreams fade into nowehereland
And you're lost between time
And your live ain't worth a dime
When you're crossing the line
And your lifelight stops to shine
As you walk right thru the boarder
Between dead or alive
Prisoners from over yonder
Daring to strive
Like a touch without a soul
And an aim without a goal
So you try to break away
But they force you to stay
And you know
That chances have passed
Water Flows
But this moment won't last
And you're lost between time
And your live ain't worth a dime
When youAre crossing the line
And your lifelight stops to shine
There is a time to laugh
And a time to cry
And there is a time to accept
And a time to deny
There is a time to be strong
And a time to be weak
And there is a time to listen
And a time we must speak
For everything there's a reason
For everything there's a rhyme
For everything there's a season
For everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
And there is a time to say hello
And a time to wave goodbye
And there is a time when that we are born
And a time we must die
And there is a time to build up
And a time to tear it down
There is a time to be lost
And a time to be found
Everything there's a reason
For everything there's a rhyme
For everything there's a season
For everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
One without the other
Is like a king without his kingdom
Everything works together
It all coincides
For everything there's a reason
For everything there's a rhyme
For everything there's a season
For everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
For everything, everything
how long can you make me wait here?
god knows you wanna dip right into this
it's getting late here
and i'm tired, so tired
of needing this fix
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
you think that i must be shaking
anticiptation always gets me sick
my body aching
my fire, so tired
of this meaningless
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
how long can you make me wait here?
i think i'm breaking
and i can feel my cells begin to split
yeah i'm vibrating
up higher and higher
than i should have been
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
waiting for you
waiting for you
(d. sahanaja - b. kassan)
Time, I see you wasting all this time,
But it's not mine. it's your dime.
Time, I see you running on the line
And it's not right to fear the light.
And all the things you said, you understood well.
The past is gone
And there's no welcome in your eyes.
Time, I feel you wasting all this time
And it's a crime. it's so sublime.
And all the things we did, you understood well.
We can't deny. there's no hiding this disguise.
Oooh, gonna let you down
Oooh, gonna let you down this time.
And I'll be fine.
Oooh, let you down.
Oooh, gonna let you down this time
And never pay you mind.
Time, I think you're running out of signs
To join with mine. it's so unkind.
And all the things we said, you understood well.
I woke up from a trap
hit me just like a slap
took the weight of my ass
and filled up another glass
I need time to drink
leaving not much to think
with you off my back
I will be back on the track
I need to disappear
to change my name it's clear
no-one to listen
and no eyes to glisten
when I have got something to say
I will hope, I will pray
sweet nothing is to come my way
I need to disappear
to change my name it's clear
no-one to listen
and no eyes to glisten
when I have got something to say
I will hope, I will pray
sweet nothing is to come my way
I want to make undone
all I have been making
I don't care that I'm going away
I don't care that you're gonna stay
you said that I should look
but I am off that hook
you said that you would wait
you can forget that bait
don't make me stop
you told me to look
but I'm off that hook
you said that you'd wait
you can forget that bait
oh time
to think
think about this
thinking 'bout all the things I'd miss
no, no I don't care
i don't care
Hundreds of years are passing in the rainy days.
The diseases didn't step aside, but it's dawning in the damn land,
Do you believe in the sands of time
To bring it back in reverse, rewind
Yes, I believe in the sands of time
'Cause now they got me feelin' like the world is mine
Is there a need in life for something clearer
A sudden urge to reach beyond the mirror
I'll (be) there when the darkness of the year
I'm sure invades in the place we came to fear
So we were once from a world divine
Now we proceed toward the end of time
As we were once in a place sublime
Now we will see the final tide
Do you believe in the sands of time
To bring it back in reverse, rewind
Yes, I believe in the sands of time
'Cause now they got me feelin' like the world is mine
Or could it be the time for something real
Another one of the forces that we feel
As you destroy the world we safely weild
So we were once from a world divine
Now we proceed toward the end of time
As we were once in a place sublime
Now we will see the final tide
Do you believe in the sands of time
To bring it back in reverse, rewind
Yes, I believe in the sands of time
'Cause now they got me feelin' like the world is mine
Do you believe in the Hand of Time
Do you believe that it makes the things go 'round
With intent to increase the mind no doubt
Waves spread the love throughout
Were we born to make an engine loud
Autumn has come, I’m loosing my leaves
The sand has almost ran through
Run, run, run for eternal youth
I must escape from my faith
There is no bribery to make the mirror lie
Run, run, run, run
The air is getting thin
In my life’s opera, they play the final notes
The happy tunes turned to minor
Time is hunting me, there is no way out
My winter will come
A long time ago the orchard in me has whitered
(feat. Talib Kweli & Dion)
[Talib Kweli:]
Time is of the essence, and waits for no man
Now is the time to get down with the program
It's time to get busy, it's time to get involved
You got a problem with that, it's time to get it solved
Time flys when you havin' fun, I'll be in the throne for a long time
All you haters pack a lunch, it's time to stack your funds
There comes a time to run and grab your gun
And there's a time to admit when you haven't won
Used to be nation time, but now we facin' time
Ain't no replacin' time homie, why you wastin' time?
They say time is money, and so I spend it wisely
On quality goods so with the family's where you tend to find me
If you're lookin', my people keep on pushin'
Across the bridge to another time like we did to get to Brooklyn
I climb through the windows of the mind, I unravel mysteries
Go back in history, see how I time travel
[Chorus: Dion]
(Time) I've been racin' up this time
Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)
Change the world in just one day
Goin' crazy (Time)
I've been racin' up this time
Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)
Change the world in just one day
[Talib Kweli:]
Take the time, rewind and make your mind up
Get on your grind, put in the work until your time's up
Like O.C. let the poetry remind ya
Of why we at the top of our game, this here is timeless
They lack the minerals and vitamins with time release
And so they try to blind you with the diamonds in they time pieces
Okay you got money and we all can see it, great
Now rhyme about somethin' time don't appreciate
You don't appreciate the time, that it take
To make a rhyme, I don't just educate or fascinate
My facts is straight, I don't exaggerate when I say
I was gettin' some head, phony rappers I decapitate
I'm gettin' my bread, kids is fed, it's time to build
It's time to find a skill, it's time to find a strength
It's time to find a will and we ain't got the time to kill, one another
They got us swallowin' all kind of pills, they tryin' to drug us
Not again, not this time
[Chorus: Dion]
(Time) I've been racin' up this time
Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)
Change the world in just one day
Goin' crazy (Time)
I've been racin' up this time
Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)
Change the world in just one day
[Talib Kweli:]
Yeah, it's Blacksmith, we got them classics in the pipeline
The people ready right now, this the right time
The right kind of flavor that age like a fine wine
Past, present or future, it's all in the same timeline
So currently I'm standin' on the shoulders of my ancestors
And throwin' up the sign of the times like hand gestures
The man next to the man you tryin' to stand next to
Ain't impressed by your routine, you too damn extra
It's time to start a movement, it's time to start improvin'
If everybody a pimp, then who the prostitutes
And where the hell is our solution, it's time to handle problems
I never thought it had to be this way
I always knew that there was more to us
Another world away
Just a day away
Imagination gets the best of me
I put it in the ugly things I see
I can dream them all away
Make them go away
In the seeds of hypocrisy
In the fable as old as time
I would see what you want me to see
I would be what you want me to be
I won’t let you down this time
This time will be so different
There’s a place for us in time
A story with no ending
All we have is one more time
Until it fades away
If I could be what you want me to be
Watching the clock tick tock away
Every second sounds a new day
Always on the rush, quick, get away
Sound the alarm for judgment day
Gotta hurry up or be late
Gotta find the time to make it straight
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to make it?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to fake it?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to take it?
Do you have the time
To waste away the day?
Counting the line, can't stand the wait
Every minute to hour, delay
Til' tomorrow becomes yesterday
Now is the time, don't hesitate
Every minute of mine will be made
Hit the clock, it's time to stop the race
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to make it?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to fake it?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to take it?
Do you have the time
To waste away the day?
Don't you feel like
There's something that's missing
Don't you feel like
There's something that's missing
Don't you feel like
There's something that's missing
As time keeps slipping
Don't you feel like
There's something, that's missing
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to make it?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to fake it?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time?
Do you have the time to take it?
Do you have the time
To waste away the day?
The roads are wrapped around your waist
They lead me place to place
I take trips from hip to hip
In fact, I've made a career out of it
I've always thought the left
Was your strongest side
But when it comes to you, now I can't decide
It's only a matter of time
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time
Like the climate
You never know what weather you'll get
No denying you're the habit that I can't quit
It's only a matter of mine
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
You're tainted, I'm shaking
I hope you turn around in time
Tide's changing, I'm waiting
You and I are one of a kind
(You're changing)
I've been a both of our fears over my sore ears
I still can't pick my favorite place
(Don't make me)
The contour of your lips, they match your continents
And I still love the way that you taste
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time
how long can you make me wait here?
god knows you wanna dip right into this
it's getting late here
and i'm tired, so tired
of needing this fix
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
you think that i must be shaking
anticiptation always gets me sick
my body aching
my fire, so tired
of this meaningless
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
how long can you make me wait here?
i think i'm breaking
and i can feel my cells begin to split
yeah i'm vibrating
up higher and higher
than i should have been
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
is it my secret
one i should never tell
i'll never tell
time
waiting for you
waiting for you
time is a difficult thing. you can get lost for years and then don't know where you've been. and when you are 81, you are wondering where the years that you have passed have gone.... is that really why there's time around us? is that really all there is around us? isn't there another option for us to create a dimension?... time will be over soon 'cause the life that i live will be over around noon. i don't keep myself in health. so when others grow 100, i will be dead at 10. time is a difficult thing. you can get lost for years and then don't know where you have been.
Some people run some people crawl some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in light some wrapped in fearful black
(Time oh time) where did you go (time oh good good time) where did you go
Some people never get some never give some people never die and some never live
Some folks treat me mean some folks treat me kind
Most folks just go their way don't pay me any mind
(Time oh time) where did you go (time oh good good time) where did you go
Sometimes I'm satisfied sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh at sunrise I cry at midnight I'm in between and wondering why
Burn this room
place me on chair for all I care
you're telling me Im crazy
I would call it lazy
Let the room burn down
Blow this house up high
you dont give a shit If I liv or die
I dont wanna be apart of this no more
Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you're leaving
I cant help this feeling
Let the time pass me by
So we been togeather for a year or two
and you're angry cause I dont know but I've been bizzy loving you
I dont have the money to be the one you really need
What I give is who I am and poetry to read
Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you're leaving
I cant help this feeling
Let the time pass by
Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so we can try
Tell me why you hate me
Tell me who I should be
Let the time pass by
Now I really know what you need is rock n roll
And if you're not gonna like it Then baby thats your call
I dont care if you're loosing your mind I dont wanna know
Leave me alone dont ever come back I love rock n roll
I've been living a dream But everyone's awake
and everytime I try to catch up is when nearly break
So we been togeather for a year or two
And everytime I am feeling good is not beacause of you
I dont know what Im doing wrong but people seems to fade
[Verse 1]
I'd like to take a minute to apologize
For not taking advantage of you
Through all the years you've passed me by
Honestly I really wanted to be mad at you, yes
For so many hours waiting, yeah
I finally know what it means to be patient
And everything has its place, yeah
And reason and I've learned that
[Chorus]
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time for it to happen
Time waits for nothing
And everything is gonna take its time
Time waits for nothing and no one
Cause everything has its time
[Verse 2]
I used to think that if I tried
Then maybe I could change the things that
I regretted in my past life
But through all the lessons that you taught me
I have learned my experiences enhanced my character, yes
Now as I look back with what I know now
I can say that I wouldn't change a thing
Cause I love who I became, yeah
And when it's all said and done
I can only live for today
Cause I've learned that
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to find it hard to believe
And almost impossible to conceive, yeah
Everything I do revolves around you
And knowing that, its kind crazy to me
Now if I had a dollar for every moment
That I spent watching my days go by
Doing, doing, doing nothing
I probably never be penniless or hopeless.
[Verse 3]
So for a while now, I've kept in mind
Cause what they say is true
That you are of the essence
Down to the very last second
And I'm so glad that I've grown to
Respect you
[Chorus 4x]
VWHAT MAKES A SEED
INTO A FLOWER GROW, TIME
WHAT MAKES A RIVER
JOIN THE OCEAN'S FLOW, TIME
AND HOW WILL WE KNOW
WHAT WE REAP IS WHAT WE SOW, TIME
WHEN WILL WE FULFIL
A DREAM OF TOMORROW, TIME
EVERYTHING TAKES TIME
JUST HAVE FAITH IN TIME
WHAT MAKES US GROW
TO HAVE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING, TIME
AND HOW WILL WE LEARN
TO GIVE AS MUCH AS WE ARE DEMANDING, TIME
EVERYTHING TAKES TIME
JUST HAVE FAITH IN TIME
WON'T YOU PUT SOME TRUST IN TIME
EVERYTHING TAKES TIME
THE ONLY WAY THE FEELING IS GOOD ENOUGH
IS WHEN WE TAKE A LITTLE TIME
THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN GET HIGH ENOUGH
IS WHEN WE TAKE A LITTLE TIME
TIME BETTER BELIEVE IT, TIME
THE ONLY WAY
THE FEELING IS GOOD ENOUGH
IS WHEN WE TAKE A LITTLE TIME
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET HIGH ENOUGH
IS WHEN WE TAKE A LITTLE TIME
AIN'T NO NEED TO WORRY
JUST TAKE IT SLOW SO BABY WHY THE HURRY LOVE JUST WON'T GO
AIN'T NO NEED TO WORRY
JUST TAKE IT SLOWLY
NO NEED TO CRY
I'm takin' time
Sitting through my life
And you know I am really
Never known what is right
And it's you
And it's you
Never knew what I find
And it's you
And it's you
You will always be mine
Chorus:
You've got no time for me
You've got no time
I can't explain
The way of this man
He grow, lost control
And became what I am
And it's me
And it's me
Always knew what I find
Yes, it's true
Yes, it's true
You will always be mine
It is very revealing
When you say what you're thinking
Have I taken a step too far?
Living and learning
Was it crashing and burning?
Well it hurt but it left no scar.
Time is marching on.
Soon it won't be long
Til we find our niche
A sound that we can keep
What's in the past days
They've got no point in complaining
Or it's back to the drawing board.
We are all moving on
How come it took us this long
We had purpose but now there's more.
Time is marching on.
Soon it won't be long
Til we find our niche
A sound that we can keep
And say it is our own
Time is,
Time is,
Time is,
Time is marching on.
Soon it won't be long
Til we find our niche
A sound that we can keep
Time - He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boys
Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain, and many other last names
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think "Oh God I'm
still alive"
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time
Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time
Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you
dreamless
The door to dreams was closed. Your park was real
dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this
darkness
But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming
We should be on by now (5x)
Here I am this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true
It's a new world it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
Here we are we've just begun
And after all this time our time has come
Ya here we are still going strong
Right here in the place where we belong
It's a new world it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
Here we are we've just begun
Here I am this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true
It's a new world it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
It's a new world it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day it's a new plan
Here I am
Here we are we've just begun
Here I am next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothing standing in our way
[Deep Voice Mumbling]
[Hook]
Quote fiction of fact, who gon' have yo back
When that shit get to poppin' off like that
Quote fiction or fact, who gon' have yo back
It's gon' be hell on wheels comin' back
[Tela]
Time is gettin' leerier, niggas are gettin' serious
Man you know I understand ya pain, that's why I'm feelin' ya
The words I'm comprehendin' the beats I was observin'
It was bumpy time in those planes caught up in some turbulence
Reservin' us some seats, we be like seated, exposited
And when this bitch here bleedin' I balled up just like a fetus
Young you by yourself and there was death upon the shelf
It' was pointed at cho' ass not from the right but from the left
Hours like them days and them days was like them hours
Screams was continuous, analyze of the phallus
Shit is goin' on in the zone
Predicted and convicted us a whole millenium
For philosophy, psychologically we outta reach
Mental capacity was actually positioned and breached
Now them sounds of the wrath got us subtract like math
Under gettin' holy and souly off the path
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
We all fit to glide
When the time tic Pipe rhyme sick
Call em' Jorginho Pull a dime chick
Run with a click like Al Pacino in the God Father
Bitch why bother fahgetaboutit
I'll bang ya grand daughter if she in college
Don't ever doubt it keep it cracked open like crack flowin' in western Oakland.
Tryin' to stack somethin' from rap bustin' and keep on goin"
Like a drive by I ride high
With 90 guys that shoulda died high from bad vibes in 95
But I surprise guys
Never been thuggin' robbin or muggin doin' my thizzle
But kept under you gotta love 'em bodies is missin'
Sleepin' with fishes feedin' the worms
If I ain't eatin' then I ain't concerned
I'm out of time
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
We all fit to glide
Now I'm breathin inhalein' for the first time
Heart beatin keepin' the rhythym as I rhyme
And I can't take a second cause it ain't mine to take from dawn to late
I'm riding the wave It's my fate singing
I'm ready for love I'm ready for hate I'm ready for shame bring it my way
Hey hey you touch me you feel me your my little lady from New Orleans
Smoke me down walk the streets with the ghost in the middle of the night
Just hey I'm headin' out West in search of faith in search of faith
And the pain stops when the rain drops its like sex 'n
Feelin' the beat from the heat and then keep flexin'
Next is continue stepin' and never stressin'
No second guessin' just believe
Receive the blessen'
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
We all fit to glide
I'm up at Bens Burgers Fuck what you heard of
Throw ya turf up on my CBR side show jerkin' and pickin' work up
On the sidewalk weavin' through cars doors is ajar
See them ghetto boys high as Uranus Saturn and Mars
This be the new Bay run in with pistols and lay 'em down
Cause ain't no new yay sufferin' shortages in the town
Bring in the new day when it's no politicians and cops and ain't nobody starvin' and broke and nobody
sellin' rocks
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time, time is on your side
It's a lovely ride you wanna step inside
Time can never lose the game
Will never lose
Time can never feel the pain
Will never feel
There's a wheel that turns our fortunes
There's a light to lead the way
It's holding back tomorrow
From a destiny today
I used to be so lonely
Never thought that I could find the time
Never thought that I could give it up
Ahhh
It's back to
Here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
But never leave
Time, can never lose the game
Will never lose
Time, can never feel the pain
Will never feel
From a love that's going nowhere
To a heart that feels the pain
It's holding back the forces
Of a destiny distained in vain
I used to be so lonely
Never thought that I could find the time
Never thought that I could give it up
Ahhh
It's back to
Here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Say what you will
You can't shout it up and crowd it up
and shout it on down
Look around, look around
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
It's here today
Don't ever leave me
When you call me up
In the evening
And we're standing there in time
You can feel the wind,
Touch the stars
Leave our cares behind
Time is rolling away
Nothing can stop the time
No one can make the time stay (repeat)
A Song about time
It is a time rhyme
A rhyme about time
I sit and watch the clock
I see the seconds run
I know they never coming back
Another day is gone
I wonder and I ask
Where the time run
Another year is gone
Yesterday I was young
Today I am an old man
Time is rolling away
Nothing can stop the time
No one can make the time stay (repeat)
Everything takes time
To sing this time rhyme
Takes the time rhymes time
The time used to be
Sometimes your friend or your enemy
No one can stop
No one can keep it or hold it up
The time just go on
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
The time runs quick and the time run fast
The time don't stop and the time never ask
Time got no time
Time got no time
The time runs quick and the time run fast
The time don't stop and the time never ask
Time got no time
Time got no time
Time is rolling away
Nothing can stop the time
Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years,
Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe
Are brackish with the salt of human tears!
Thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and flow
Claspest the limits of mortality!
And sick of prey, yet howling on for more,
Vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable shore;
Treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm,
Who shall put forth on thee,
Unfathomable Sea?
A second a minute an hour a day and it’s gone
little by little it fritters away
try as you may you can never replace it
a moment of beauty you stumble upon
as long as you treasure whatever it is
whatever it is
could never be wasted
So if we all turn to dust
better to've loved and lost
cause everything has a cost
So if you're gonna spend time
spend it upon me
spend it upon me
just give me your time
I don't want your money
wohoo wohoo
I'd crawl then I'd walk then I'd run
but then I'd stumble and fall
somewhere between the love and the lust
I tried my best I was maladjusted
and I'm not saying that I know it all
maybe I'm a little more self-aware
still get scared but I've learned to trust it
So when it comes to us
I've weighed up all the odds
I bet that this is love
So if you're gonna spend time
spend it upon me
spend it upon me
just give me your time
don't take it from me
wohooo wohooo
Oh I know how hard it is
getting it right
at a time like this
so you'd better believe
believe
how right it could be
So if you're gonna spend time
spend it upon me
spend it upon me
just give me your time
I don't want your money
wohooo wohooo
wohooo wohooo
[Sometimes we lose sight of a friend and aren't in touch for ages, just to meet once more and be really close again for a long time.]
Here we are again
It's time to say goodbye
Remember me my friend
We'll meet us in a while
It's just a promise but you will remember well
These are the words I have to tell
Time
Will make all our dreams
Come true forever
Together we cry for the moon and
Time
Wherever you are
I will be calling
If time should be lost
It won't be soon
Out in the world
And out in the cold
Hear our message
And remember what we've told
It's just a promise but you will remember well
These are the words we have to tell
Time
Will make all our dreams
Come true forever
Together we cry for the moon and
Time
Wherever you are
I will be calling
If time should be lost
It won't be soon
Tell where you are
Tell me when you coming home
Will it be too long
Maybe I don't wanna go
It's just a promise but you will remember well
These are the words we have to tell
Time
Will make all our dreams
Come true forever
Together we cry for the moon and
Time
Wherever you are
I will be calling
If time should be lost
Roller skates and bumblebees
Holding hands and grazing knees
Dressing up and falling down
Paul and mike are coming round
Being good to stay up late
Forget to shut the garden gate
Built a house up in a tree
Been making plans since I was three
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
And the memory lives on in my heart
Going back to the start
Skiving french and stealing mars
Hanging out in rosie's bar
Getting changed straight after school
Smoking fags and playing pool
Rainbow coming over me
But I like graham connelly
Getting caught in someone's car
This time kid you've gone too far
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
But the memory lives on in my heart
Going back to the start
Forever forever forever
Up and down to liverpool
Learning lines to play the fool
Hanging out at hannah's bar
Got too drunk to drive the car
Even though I'd love to stay
It's time to work not to time to play
And even though you're now for me
Soon you'll be a memory
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
And the memory lives on in my heart
Time catches everyone
And the world goes round the sun
And the memory lives on in my heart
Going back to the start
In ways I can't explain you helped me find myself.
You always knew that there was so much more that I could give.
But I just always thought that I was at the top of my game,
While I was crushed beneath the plays of my own mind games
Chorus:
You took the time to know me.
You took the time to care.
When all the world was waged against me
You took the time to show me that you loved me.
With loss of consciousness my world enlightened dims.
What was lost is found and I am here aware again.
That everything I am was and ever thought to become
Simply parallels all the plans you planned for me cause
Here I wait for You!
Morning,
The sun has rubbed his eyes in the air.
Rushing,
To search for a mail from my love.
Days passed waiting
For answers to come;
Now I stand with this piece
Of my heart in my hands.
All this time,
All the dreams I have,
All my life with you.
\"What is changing in my mind?
I feel empty,
My thoughts are not the same;
Forgive me, I belong to a new one.
Try to find a new way,
Forget my name\".
Sudden shivers,
Realize that these words
Have stolen the sweetest tears
From your eyes.
Sorrow, wasting your life
With someone.
Never let this rain mark
Your fair innocence!
All this time,
All the dreams you have,
Is there time to make up and cry?
Is there time to make up and cry?
Are you missing her?
Are you missing her?
Are you missing her?
Are you?
Is there time to make you feel nice?
Is there time to make you feel nice?
Are you missing him?
Are you missing him?
Are you missing him?
Cos you and I were on the inside
And then I got pushed to the outside
I used to glow red but now it's blue
And now I can't pretend I'm not missing you
But there's something about you I'm hearing
When I look at you now I am leering
But you don't care so neither do I care
Is there time for a piece of the night?
Is there time for a piece of the night?
Are you missing her?
Are you missing her?
Are you missing her?
Are you?
Is there time to push back our lives?
Is there time to push back our lives?
Are you missing mine?
Are you missing mine?
Are you missing mine?
Cos you and I were on the inside
But then I got pushed to the outside
I used to glow red but now it's blue
And now I can't pretend I'm not missing you
But there's something about you I'm hearing
When I look at you now I am leering
But you don't care, so neither do I
I care
You say I ruined your life?
You say I ruined your life?
Well what about mine?
You don't know
You and I were on the inside
And then I got pushed to the outside
I used to glow red but now it's blue
And now I can't pretend I'm not missing you
But there's something about you I'm hearing
When I look at in your eyes I am leering
But you don't care and neither do I care
As long as I'm out of this picture
Is there time to change your mind?
Is there time to change your mind?
Are you missing her?
Are you missing her?
Are you missing her?
Are you?
(The Kry)
Looking inside me
I realize, I don't like what I see
Aware of my pride
It's no wonder why I'm not what I should be
Through it all
There's on thing I have found
There's no instant crown
So I remind myself..
It takes time..
Can't change overnight
It's gonna take some time 'til you're forever changed...
It takes time
To let the old man die
Wave yourself goodbye and give your whole life away
The heart is deceitful
Desperately wicked no one can know
Put in the fire
It keeps getting purer
Purer than gold
He does it all
I don't have to strive
Now I realize
I can't change myself
It takes time..
Can't change overnight
It's gonna take some time 'til you're forever changed..
It takes time
To let the old man die
Wave yourself goodbye and give your whole life away
The butterfly is transformed overnight
But you and I are being changed day by day
Time is what you make of it,
So don't waste your time being celibate
Time is what you make of it,
So don't waste your time saying the hell with it.
Time
When I remember my days of young,
When I spend my time having fun
And I remember my days if youth
When I'd get a dime for my tooth,
Cause when you're young,
You don't wanna get old
Then time comes in and takes it's toll
So do all the things you wanna do
Cause in your life, this world for you.
Time is what you make of it,
So don't waste your time being celibate
You keep your distance.
Like, for instance, when you told me we should take it slow.
It's been forever. It's now or never
and it might be time to let this go.
I know that I - I've gotta get away â'cause I've had enough...
Time, you always needed more time.
But all we've ever had is time.
So now this is the last time, but I'll be fine.
Not that I'm caring
but it's apparent that you're not what you pretend to be.
I thought I knew you.
I'm seeing through you, and you never saw yourself with me.
I know that I - I've gotta get away â'cause I've had enough...
Time, you always needed more time.
But all we've ever had is time.
So now this is the last time, but I'll be fine.
I've gotta let this go.
It's holding me down.
It's holding me down!
I've gotta let this go!
I know that I â- I've gotta get away â'cause I've had enough.
I know that I â- I've gotta get away.
Time, you always needed more time.
But all we've ever had is time.
So now this is the last time, but I'll be fine.
Time, time is my enemy
He steals my lover from me
And then he laughs while he sets up siege
On my friends and my family
Time, time is my enemy
He steals my lover from me
And then he laughs while he sets up siege
On my friends and my family
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
He's at the station, looking down at me
He throws me sex and drugs and bad TV
Until I'm left with jealousy
Or sucking at his breats lovingly
I give in, give up, give him back his cup
Say sorry for my words its the shushing that worked
And I'm left with just the tears of my lover
And the corpses of others and then I scream
My lover and me, oh it's all I need
And oh lover, it's forever and whatever
Time, time reaches for his gun,
Puts it back and tells me I've won
but he laughs because he thinks it's fun
And asks me what the hell I've fucking dome
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
Tick tick go the vampire clocks
All these years and then he mocks
And tickety tick got the grandfather clocks
Well there's no rest here he says
Like the ghost whispering in my ear
I give in, give up, give him back his cup
Say sorry for my words its the shushing that worked
And I'm left with just the tears of my lover
And the corpses of others and then I scream
My lover and me, oh it's all I need
My lover and me, oh it's all I need
And oh lover, it's forever and whatever
Now you've learned about it
bow you'll just have to bear
There's something it for everyone(*)
just pick up what you please
cauz you know sometimes it seems
things could go so much better
and I can't help it, I'd really like to see
the day when no one(*) gets jealous, greedy, cruel or
unhappy, bored, fucked up or ruined, wimpy,
sad, mislead or fooled
we've got to face it, it's
Time to grow, time to know
time to see in what we believe
as the time goes by, we'll know that it was on our side
but come to understand (stand under?) the time
and you'll realize it's in your mind
One(*) day we're all gona laugh about it
about how easy we are to rule
to take our innerselves away from us
and knock, knock, knocking it on up there
where we are blinded with faith in something called
"the only truth !!!!!!!!!!!!???"
no, I can't bye it, I mean how can I believe
when I see people get jealous, greedy, cruel and
unhappy, bored, fucked up, and ruined, wimpy, sad,
mislead and fooled
Time and time again I knew what I was doing and
Time and time again I just made things worse
It seems you see the most of what is really true when
You're stepping into your hearse
Only time can write a song that's really really real
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals
And when I want to write a song that says it all at once
Like time sublimely silences the whys
I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once
And splatter there between my lies
Only time can write a song that's really really real
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals
We are made of it and if we give submission
Among our chances there's a chance we can choose
And if we take it, by uncertainty's permission
Then it's impossible to lose
Only time can write a song that's really really real
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
There was a girl, she led a life of a runaway
She didn't dream, she couldn't feel, she had to get away
from everything she knows
Where do you go?
Who do you turn to, when you're all alone?
The world is cold do what you have to, to make it on your own
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
There was a boy, he had a dream, he had to get away
A need to see, the other side of life so far away
from the world he knows
The world is hard, but there's a small chance
I know how he feels
To chase a dream, you got to run, boy
You've got to make it real
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
You have been my dream
Do you believe in me?
Then let our hearts be strong
and let it go go go go
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
Tears in my ears
I can’t stop crying...
Tears in my ears
I can’t stop...
Tears in my ears
I can’t stop crying...
Tears in my ears
I can’t stop crying...
I found a new stain
The deepest i know
I wonder for how long
I’ll be stucked on the snow
Last time i had no chance to refuse
One day I’ll show you
I’m not so confused...
Last hopings of night
I just couldn’t jump over the dike
Whatever can’t stop it
Don't be just what you’re like
There are no last chances
So i hardly ever had one
Any further
No lasting
Just being always wrong
I’m so sorry after all
Now I see I have no future without making up to you
I left the fire on again and no one went for help but
Every other seem so far away from you
So why...?
I’m not so confused...
Last time i had no chance to refuse
One day I’ll show you
Just need a lil time man, thats all I need.

Well I'm here
Just crippled by my fear
Just thinkin of you and me
Not together.
And sometimes
I get troubled in my mind
Like you're already gone
and I'm walkin the back roads.
But it's ok
Cause I'm not scared to meet my fate.
Yeah it's ok
Cause I'm not losing now.
I could offer you my hand
So won't you come with me
Believe that I could treat you right.
And I could offer you my home
So settle down baby
So I can fall asleep tonight.
Later on
After years and years have gone
We could move away
To some place in the pines.
And I know
That no matter where I go
If you're there with me
I'd gladly spend my whole life.
But it's ok
Cause I'm not scared to meet my fate.
Yeah it's ok
Cause I'm not losing now.
I could offer you my hand
So won't you come with me
Believe that I could treat you right.
And I could offer you my home
So settle down baby
So I can fall asleep tonight.
And the game's on the line we don't want to be behind
With 2 minutes 40 seconds to go
And it's startin' to decline, I'm steady losin' my mind
So I take a look around at the coach
I'm saying, "Put me in coach, I'm ready to go
And I don't care if the game on the line
Put changing numbers on the sign, get me up off this pine
When I fumble do this every time and it's time, it's time, it's time"
Now when the game is on the line, I'm ready for competition
It don't take no coach permission, I'll always play my position
I'm a leader but I listen they tell me the time is ticking
But I still ain't gonna let them see me sweat, no
And when your palms all sweaty, hear your stomach butterflyish
If you miss it, you're a loser, if you make it, you're the fliest
Pedals to be the highest but always remain humble
As long as you walking up you can stumble
If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer, long as you not on the corner
Long as them grades is good, you can do what the fuck you want ta
I ain't trying to be a bitch nor your mother or father
If you don't give a fuck then why the fuck would I even bother, man
And the game's on the line we don't want to be behind
With 2 minutes 40 seconds to go
And it's startin' to decline, I'm steady losin' my mind
So I take a look around at the coach
I'm saying, "Put me in coach, I'm ready to go
And I don't care if the game on the line
Put changing numbers on the sign, get me up off this pine
When I fumble do this every time and it's time, it's time, it's time"
I can dribble pass your team, I drive through traffic
And when the dunk now your school, need to buy new basket
You foul me, you know it's on so why you asking
I'll bounce in the stands like you buy new classic
On the court focus still sneak a peak at your ho
And the crowd to the beat sneak a squeak on the floor
To get me at your college, you'd best pay me
Give me a car and help me cheat on my SAT
Steal class in the bathroom and roll up a blunt
Shoot dice at lunch and won't show up for practice
Me and Jordan got the same kind of hang time
I'm gonna get drunk and fucked up but still ready come game-time
And the game's on the line we don't want to be behind
With 2 minutes 40 seconds to go
And it's startin' to decline, I'm steady losin' my mind
So I take a look around at the coach
I'm saying, "Put me in coach, I'm ready to go
And I don't care if the game on the line
Put changing numbers on the sign, get me up off this pine
When I fumble do this every time and it's time, it's time, 'cuz it's time"
'Cuz I'm a coach, not a playa, they tell y'all no, they tell me yeah
The rhyme say I make 3 point shots look like layups
I pick and roll wit whoever, you see these letters on my jersey
So you know who's betta
I started 5 as cobra, take a look at it
Murph throw the ball through his legs
And back wit it like hot sauce did it
Big Lee's our center bro', he throw the ball as hella-hard
I'm a point like a guard and my range is hella-far
Slo's mascot never playing hard, him and J.B. to a betta car
Betta car, who betta car? Him and J.B. to a betta car
So put me in coach, so put me in coach
I am so fly that you gotta put me in coach
And the game's on the line we don't want to be behind
With 2 minutes 40 seconds to go
And it's startin' to decline, I'm steady losin' my mind
So I take a look around at the coach
I'm saying, "Put me in coach, I'm ready to go
And I don't care if the game on the line
Put changing numbers on the sign, get me up off this pine
Holding hands, strolls in the sand
A heart-box filled with dreams
Her tender kiss, a penny wish
A gift to you from me
Time, how it flies but still it's in your eyes
All the happiness and passion that we shared
And still the magic sparks the flame that burns without our souls
Your gentle face, a warm embrace to keep you from the cold
Time, how it flies but still our love's alive
I just guess some things are meant to be forever
Ooh, even when the last rain falls
Just hold on to my waist
(Hold on to my waist)
I'll take you where the rivers flow
Into the sea eternally, wherever we will be
A love so true, they come too few
We hold the final clue
A treasure chest that stores the past
A picture perfect view
Time, how it flies, our love will never die
Just as long as we always believe each other
Leafed in gold, art has been sold
A book of you and me
Together walking down life's road
Now I am on my way
There's not need to rest, there's no time to play
I know I'm strong alone
When the others stop, I'll keep moving on
Heading forward to the stairway
Starting to climb
I will get there
All I need is Time
I'm not like them at home
In my small hometown where I lived and grew
I'll take them all by storm
'Cause my elbow's sharp and my smile is warm
I believe that my existence
Will be sublime
I will prove it
All I need is Time
(Just sign your name here
Just sign your name here)
REF: But there's no Time,
No time, nor patience
There's no Time,
No time, nor patience
I will get there, I will get there
Though there's no patience
I'm in a state of change
In my brand new car I will set the pace
Start at the bottom floor
I'll be on the top very soon for sure
Now I finally got a job where
Failure's a crime
I will show them
All I need is time
REF: But there's no Time,
No time, nor patience
There's no Time,
When rain washes blood off the ground
down the shadowy path I’ll come by
When you utter your last sin aloud
my star will shine in the sky
When time decides to kill
when time closes our eyes
our sins will vanish in tears
the ground will hush our cries
And the rain keeps falling outside
as if crying on our behalf
And the wind keeps howling outside
as if screaming on our behalf
And the rain keeps falling outside
as if crying on our behalf
And the wind keeps howling outside
for the eternal soul that I have
When the blood is washed off by rain
The sky will never shed tears again
I will utter my one last request
in silence my sadness will rest
And then time once again
will open our eyes
the glow of new life shall reign
what was turned to dust shall rise
And the rain keeps falling outside
as if crying on our behalf
And the wind keeps howling outside
as if screaming on our behalf
And the rain keeps falling outside
as if crying on our behalf
And the wind keeps howling outside
for the eternal soul that I have
When time decides to kill
when time closes our eyes
our sins will vanish in tears
And then time once again
will open our eyes
the glow of new life will reign
And the rain keeps falling outside
as if crying on our behalf
And the wind keeps howling outside
as if screaming on our behalf
And the rain keeps falling outside
as if crying on our behalf
And the wind keeps howling outside
Don't ask me if I love you more than anyone else
When you talk about love I can't always trust myself
Oo--just be grateful I can give you any love at all
'Cause I don't need the problem of being at your beck and call
Give me a little time
Can't always have you on my mind
Give me a little space
Can't always have you on my case
We've been through this same old scene many times before
Seems to me that you'd learn a lesson and you'd know by now
Oo--I can't give you any more. I'm givin' everything I got
Ain't that what love is all about
Give me a little time
Can't always have you on my mind
Give me a little space
Can't always have you on my case
Give me a little time
Can't always have you on my mind
Give me a little space
They said
You gotta read between the lines
Where are you going…
It’s too dark outside
Little girl
They said
You can’t live a lie
‘Cause in the end we’ll all meet up again
And it’ll be the same
As it used to be
Who are we fooling?
We’ll never see each other again
Who are we fooling?
We’ll never be together again
Who are we fooling?
We’ll never be the same again
And now that I realize
It was time that passed us by
We said
Maybe it’s just a phase
And the wind will carry it away in the morning
But the wind never came
Falling away
Slipping away
All the way
Falling away
Slipping away
All the way
They said Good – Bye
I said I cried
Tomorrow is another day as the clock keeps tickin’
away, time is so precious and so I say.
Tomorrow is another day as the clock keeps tickin’

1,2,3,4
There's nothing left for us,
We're rotting in this place,
And the night has lost it's taste,
The bells of doom are ringing,
But you don't hear them,
You say "come on back to bed",
And I say "you must be dead,
Don't you hear big bells ringing,
Don't you hear those voices singing?"
It's only time, let it pass away,
It's only time, let it pass away.
Well I run into the streets and,
I scream from the depths of my lungs,
"Well I see you've finally come!
Good evening Mister Reaper,
What's that you're saying?
All my hopes and dreams are dead?
That I should go back to my bed",
I wake up a new man,
Singing the only words I can.
It's only time, let it pass away,
It's only time, let it pass away.
It's only time, let it pass away,
So many tears I've cried,
So many words inside plague me, they plague me.
So many times I've seen the clouds roll
So many times I've felt this rage inside.
Now that the time has come to recall,
All the souls that were made.
Tear down the past which once blood burned my eyes,
That worked night and day.
All of the chances we've had now fade into the sky.
All that's left say good-bye.
Now the clouds are folding in, I feel the pressure
From deep within.
As I gaze to the mountains below, I feel the
Last tree fall down, as they all fall down.
Reach out for one last touch of love.
My message drowned in blood.
Senses increase three times in trust.
If I can't go on, will you be there?
If I can't foresee changes beloved seed,
Centuries change for twice left inside memories might,
Now the time has come.
Once, the only one I knew was the one
That claimed to be the friendly voice to speak.
Now that Mother Mary's gone now,
What's left, where will it go?
Pray for me son,
Pray for me son,
Pray for me son,
Pray for me son,
I've run out of time...
Time...
Time...
Time is all i fear
Its why i just keep running
The quest for love was all that you an i held dear
With the beat still in your head
and the good book by your bed
we will survive
Someday
are we gonna wake up
a little bit older
or are we out of time time time
I know that
should we ever break up
or find a way to make up
in the fullness of time time time
Tell me where'd you want to be
when all your friends have settled down
in the suburbs on the greener side of town
Time is all i fear
Its why i just keep running
The quest for love was all that you an i held dear
With the beat still in your head
and the good book by your bed
and as your old man said
Good friends
well you can count them
on one hand
and they'll never judge you
whatever your crime crime crime
I know that
i can include you
and you'll forgive me
in the fullness of time time time
Tell me where'd you want to be
when all your friends have settled down
in the suburbs on the greener side of town
Time is all i fear
Its why i just keep running
The quest for love was all that you an i held dear
With the beat still in your head
and the good book by your bed
we will survive
you and i
Time is all i fear
Its why i just keep running
The quest for love was all that you an i held dear
With the beat still in your head
and the good book by your bed
we will survive
you and i
Time is rarely good to you
it leaves a mark in you
and it never lets you go
Time, the one who raises you
the one that's telling you
to separate the right from wrong
it loves you, it hurts you
it feeds you, it kills you
but still you don't want to let go
Time, our lives are depending on you
do you want to be a foe
for a day or a friend for a lifetime
Time, our lives are depending on you
do i have to let you go
without a chance to say goodbye
Time, the memories will remain
the dreams they will unchain
and it's time for me to go
it loves you, it hurts you
it feeds you, it kills you
but still i don't want to let go
Time, our lives are depending on you
do you want to be a foe
for a day or a friend for a lifetime
Time, our lives are depending on you
do i have to let you go
without a chance to say goodbye
if i was the one to decide what to do
with my last moments of life with you
i would take the time and chance to say
i don't want it to end this way
Time, our lives are depending on you
do you want to be a foe
for a day or a friend for a lifetime
Time, our lives are depending on you
do i have to let you go
"Time... Time... What is it? "
[Chorus:]
"Time... "
People wait for it others hate all of it and many waste all of it
Time. I need to know, "what is it"
And when it's yours what will you do?
"Time... "
Don't lose track of it
Let it pass you, kid
Or you'll find out what's after it
"Time." I need to know "what is it"
Cause mine might be long overdue.
[Verse 1:]
Spare a minute of your time to sit and listen to a rhyme
About decisions in your life that you choose
There's this kid, they call him Byron and he misplaces his lighter
And his bills are past due so he's screwed
No ambition left to find, he sleeps until it's five
Feeds his body mad brew and fast food
Gets back too late to say hi to dad, so one day father gets mad
And tells him what to do, he's gotta move
Now he's confused, walking down the street without any shoes
And he's starting to look more skinny too
What more can he do?
He's clueless begging quarters for food
But he's content cause that's all he's gotta do, what a fool
He should have kept better track of minutes and dollars he used
Then he could probably do whatever he wanted to
But he acts like he's trapped right where he is and he can't fight
Destined to live a bad life but do you believe that?
Cause many don't, including his dad
Who finds him in the back of a restaurant rooting through trash
He scoops him up fast and shoots him back to the pad for brunch
Prefaces his lesson with, "I'll only tell you once
What I'm gonna tell you now. Don't no one around
Give a fuck about your luck they just don't want you in their town.
Time waits for no man." Byron replied then
"That might be true but every man woman and child waits for-"
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Second story's about an attorney who's on a journey
To feed his wife and child that was born prematurely
Tis the season to worry like always
For no reason cause everything due is all paid
But can't let a song play without some interjection
Becoming restless when they're running late and had nothing for breakfast
An hour late to meet the parents the mother could no longer remain calm
But just who do you place the blame on?
The same song reloops and they never stop and listen
Feeling like each day doesn't have enough hours in it
But at any given they're dealing with million dollar digits
If that's how I was living do you think I would complain? No.
But back to the show with me
A rough day at court quickly turned to getting more tipsy than Nicole Richie
Rolling swiftly after boozing and cruising on purpose
Ended with the Sheriff asking "Do you have proof of insurance? "
The answer was yes, but then he breathed a flammable breath
And the officer saw his new passenger sweat...
"What happens next? " Wait. Look at his license. His name is Byron
Looks like he took some advice and didn't like it
And would almost rather be back with no food on the street
Now look and see cause Byron lives in both you and me
Trusted judges among us, even brothers who lie
Take away all that you're betrayed
Feel my pain and know that you're to blame
And I will not regret through all these years you've taken
What was pure and left stained And I will not look back upon
And I will not look back upon the part of me that lives
Where all that we once were has decayed and it brings me down
So I want out I've got to try to leave the past behind
But I've got no time
Now we sit and watch the bridges burn
We live in shame but still we never learn
Your memory lies frozen in my mind
But thats just fine
And if I try to turn back time
The past comes back and slaps me in the face
I can't erase all of my mistakes
And it brings me down so I want out
I've got to try to leave the past behind
But I've got no time
Can't erase
Can't erase
Can't erase
Can't erase
Mother fucker Time!
Give it back
It's time to build, it's time to crash
It's time to yield, it's time to last
It's time to feast, it's time to fast
It's time to release, it's time to grab
It's time to open the doors we've closed
It's time to focus the path of our souls
It's time to live so cats can die
It's time to bridge the gaps of our lives
It's time to break, it's time to come together
It's time to shake and be forever
It's time to fall, it's time to stand
It's time to cultivate and better our land
It's time to breath, it's time to breath
It's time to follow, it's time to lead
It's time to walk, it's time to run
It's time to rebel against what we've become
It's never been boxes' time
The tick-tock's watching you unwind this time
It's never been a substitute for time
To bring light to the dark you do, it's lime
Find time to make time for time, now's the time
I shine with hopes that time reflects the shine
I bring sight to the blind to find their way in time
Before time runs out of time
Each line's a moment in time so take a moment in time
And cherish these moments in time
We live in a time where there's limited times
So I'm giving my time
Don't waste your time, I'm going to chase my time slow
Till it's time to go but now's the time, yo
It's time to walk, it's time to run
You come to see
What's been going on with me
Ain't got no doubts
As you sit down on my couch
Girl I feel low
Just thought you should know
So you blow your little smoke
Right in my face
Honey there's a lot of things
We should really, really say.
You know it takes time
But time doesn't notice
Not at all.
Got fired from my job
'cause I was lying to my boss
My shirts all got holes
I got no money, no control
My soul's getting down
She said to me as she started to frown
Don't go blowing your mind on things
You'll never, never know
Sadly she said, I think it's time for me to go
God, love, and money
Is baffling me
And even though I'm losing you honey
Time took away everything
My whole life flashed in front of me
Now all I have are these memories
I keep them tucked close to me
I just want to wake up from this bad dream
[Chorus:]
I wish there was more time
The question is do you have it?
'cause I'm lost in this habit
Of losing everything at once
So I'll try to remember all the good times
And the bad times I'll forget
Just to sit back and regret
So we can live it up and do it one last time
Do it one last time
Seems now the days are getting longer
Yes they're longer
So I move on
with my heart strong
And I hate the way things have to be
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I wish there was more time
The question is do you have it?
'cause I'm lost in this habit
Of losing everything
A different time,
A different place,
A different world,
You never know.
Allocate,
Immediate,
And seperate,
You never know.
'Cause I am torn again
And I am trapped again.
Another time,
A seperate place,
A cheating world,
You never know.
Choose the one,
The others' gone,
You got it wrong,
You never know.
'Cause I am torn again
And I am trapped again
'Cause time won't heal the pain, you know.
'Cause time is what's to blame, you know,
You know, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause I am torn again
And I am trapped again.
'Cause time won't heal the pain, you know.
'Cause time is what's to blame, you know,
If you can find the time
To give your love to me
I will wait for you
If that's all you need
If you can find the time
If ever you're free
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose
Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for?
Why am I still waiting?
Cause while you decide.
I'm fucking suffocating.
Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it x2
If you can find the time
To give your love to me
Just drop me a line
And tell me where you'll be
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for?
Why am I still waiting?
Cause while you decide.
I'm fucking suffocating.
Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it x3
I'll be right here
If you can find the time
Just be sincere
If you can find the time
I'll wait for you
But if you can't find the time
Then cut me loose
Cause I don't have the time
And I don't have the patience
What do you take me for?
Why am I still waiting?
Cause while you decide.
I'm fucking suffocating.
Cause if you can't find the time
My bleeding heart won't make it x3
Cause I don't have the time x2
Oh! Time is my friend
And I know this time is comingo to get me
Oh! Time is my girl
And I know that girl has come
For those who feel not well
For those who lost the way
For those who sang this blues
I tell you, please welcome on board
Oh! I´m caught by today
And I know today is coming
to take you too!
The epoch has come
Winging down, above us, it´s come
For those who feel not well
For those who lost the way
For those who sang this blues
I tell you, please welcome on board
Oh! Time is my end
And I know the end is coming to take me
All...fine battles of words
Running out, and us...we´re done
Day after day all the years I remember
I have been living like time never ended
If there's a tomorrow, it's so far away
It seemed like my life had a millions of days
When we are young we don't need to look back
When we look forward, horizon is black
Just take a look in the eyes of a child
Infinity's burning there restless and wild
There are thousand ways to go
A million places known
But time once lost will not return
There is so much more to give
The reason why we live
But time once passed (is) forever gone
Time is over, never coming back again
It's lost and gone by no more chance for another try
Time is over, but still it's running on and on
Wherever you hide it will be there and wait for you
Hours go by in those dark rainy cold nights
Sleepless and scared as I gaze at the moonlight
Wondering how it could be that my life ends
Has it been worth all that, what has it mean?
What is now left for me more than remembrance
When I will go there is nothing in my hands
Just take a look in the eyes of a wise man
There you will see how to face your horizon
There are thousand ways to go
A million places known
But time once lost will not return
There is so much more to give
The reason why we live
But time once passed (is) forever gone
Time is over, never coming back again
It's lost and gone by no more chance for another try
Time is over, but still it's running on and on
the wind in my hair
shows his despair
time flows so fast
nothing will last
now is almost yesterday
all we do is just obey
we live and we die
but time goes by
we always thought
we could stay
but in the end
we all must fade away
the closer you get to the light
the longer gets your shadow
who will remember
time is blind
we all wander
the tomb of time
time doesn´t care
our memorys die with us
as time goes by
nothing lasts forever
but we will try
if we fly or if we fall
as time goes by
nothing lasts forever
but we still try
Home home sweet home
I'm going home
To where she waits
To share love with me yeah
I'm the kind of guy
Who loves to mess around
Know a lot of women
But they don't fill my heart
With love completely free
Ooh I love you I really do
Hold me hold me close completely free yeah
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
(Take me there)
Hey...oh...
(i know you might not be ready yet)
Lalalalala babe ( i just wanted you to know that i got time)
You see me through.through thick and thin
'cause everyday wiht you is like i'm born again
But we're only friends
And you know that i see you as so much more (see you as so much more) babe
You took me to another world
Never wanna come back again need you to be my girl
To hold me close
That's the reason why it hurts so bad to see you go
*Chorus*
I got time
If my time's spent waiting ony you
Then i got time
And i'm never goin anywhere
As long as you love me then i got time
And imma be waiting on you
Then i got time
And i'm never goin anywhere
I try my best to understand what could be the reason you wouldn't want me to be your man
'cause i treat you right
I'd hold your hand
I'd kiss every single tear drop as they fall down
But you're so confused
You wonder if i am the one, and yeah i wonder too
Nothing to do ...but sit here alone until i find out
*chorus*
Just say that you love me
That you can't live without me
That you wanna go n get married
That's all i wanna hear
I don't care about your house
The way i see it it's too high class
So far away and you can't go back
'cause everything changed the day i came here
OOoOooh
*chorus*
And i'm never goin anywhere (x6)
I got time n i'm never goin anywhere
Never goin anywhere (x6)
I got time n i'm never goin anywhere
It's been a long time since you were here
And I cannot erase what seems so clear
And I cannot hide from you no more
I've closed another door
And I'm not gonna hide from you this time
I wanna look you in the eye
Is the sun gonna shine throughout the
Windows of these haunted rooms?
Will I have to die to find out
If I can ever be with you?
It's been a long time since you've been gone
And I can't figure out just what went wrong
But I'm not gonna lie to myself no more
I've opened another door
And I'm not gonna hide from you this time
I wanna look you in the eye
Is the sun gonna shine throughout the
Windows of these haunted rooms?
Will I have to die to find out
If I can ever be with you?
Just when my heart was breaking
The suffocating was rearranged in you
The past has gone by and I can't rewind
Is the sun gonna shine throughout the
Windows of these haunted rooms?
Will I have to die to find out
If I can ever be with you?
With the ghosts in my mind, I'm haunted
I only wanted me and you
As long as I'm alive, I'm wanted
The only one who'll see me through
Time here is fast
And nothing ever lasts.
Time here is fast.
I want to be with my past.
Hungry for your voice again
Though you're with me all the time
And I feel you in the rain
Take away all that you're betrayed
Feel my pain and know that you're to blame
And I will not regret through all these years you've taken
What was pure and left stained And I will not look back upon
And I will not look back upon the part of me that lives
Where all that we once were has decayed and it brings me down
So I want out I've got to try to leave the past behind
But I've got no time
Now we sit and watch the bridges burn
We live in shame but still we never learn
Your memory lies frozen in my mind
But thats just fine
And if I try to turn back time
The past comes back and slaps me in the face
I can't erase all of my mistakes
And it brings me down so I want out
I've got to try to leave the past behind
But I've got no time
Can't erase
Can't erase
Can't erase
Can't erase
Mother fucker Time!
Give it back
Give it back
We have one nanosecond In the spectrum of time
Cause it's about the dead It's all in your mind
Reality, senility human race, outer space
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Alien forces live inside my brain
I must obey them or I'll go insane
Procreation, concentration penetration, ejaculation
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Explode, explode
Cold shots on the rocks
You know how it makes me feel
You better see, set me free
Don't give me no better deal
Anagram, sonogram
Looking for a thing that's real
All for sale, new ghost town
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
This black painted sign says: "Jesus saves"
Ride on the highways to an early grave
Remorse, intercourse voices from my alien force
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Cowboys From Hell on the radio
Turn it up now just as loud as it will go
Guitar bastards, cymbal crashers
Strobe light flashin', motel bashin'
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Explode, explode
Cold shots on the rocks
You know how it makes me feel
You better see, set me free
Don't give me no better deal
Anagram, sonogram
Looking for a thing that's real
Ultrasound, vocals down
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
We have one nanosecond in the spectrum of
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
We have one nanosecond in the spectrum of time
This is for the class of 2001
New York to London be like under the gun
U learn the dic-tion
Respect ta Big Pun
But ya teachers leave ya up the creek like u was Dawson
Now I remember four Septembers in the boogiedown
But shit remain the same in like any town
Each semester every test
I wonder when would it end
And no I'd never go thru it again
Time don't change the way I feel
Doesn't mean that I been holdin' back the years (and)
Time's got so much to reveal
No time to wonder
Why we crumble in our fears
I useta hate teachers callin' my name in attendance
Academic menaces mental anesthetics for credits
I'd be sleepin' in the back of the class
when the bullshit we'd be learnin' wasn't comin' too fast
There wuz always one teacher who was peepin' the flesh
Eyes be all up on my chest
Yo keep yo eyes on my test
That's ill yo - I call u Mr. (grubby grubby) (acappella)
Rock the toupee that's called the ruggy ruggy
Time don't change the way I feel
Doesn't mean that I been holdin' back the years and
Time's got so much to reveal
No time to wonder
Why we crumble in our fears
In my locker had pictures of my cousins my moms
Didn't know nuthin' bout computers
Now I gots my dot.coms
In a bizness where the rats've got control of the race
I keeps my eyes on my papes
I useta never use the breaks
Like autographs up in the yearbook w/ the old cliches - hey yo
Keep in touch this summer
Yo the call never came
ya things'll be the same'
C'mon they never be the same
Now we all up in the highway goin' separate ways
(bridge)
And if my train falls off the track
Tarsha Vega spring forward yo I don't fall back
Original not wack watch me jet to Mars
Put me shuttle to the medal when I chill with the stars
Hey kids u best ta learn to make the most of yo trip
Next you're workin' for the man
Me I'm workin' for hits
yo the years'll go by
So make the most of yo days
Like Ben Folds say "I'm thinkin' a lot today!"
Time don't change the way I feel
Doesn't mean that I been holdin' back the years and
Time's got so much to reveal
No time to wonder
Why we crumble in our fears
This world has no patience, time
It's spinning while we're wasting, time
In roadblocks, subway stations, time
We're waiting wasting time
Well life takes a turn
Let's keep on straight
It's easy to burn
On stolen faith
Give in, give out
Give in and get out with me
Give in, give out
Give in and give it to me
Give in, give out
Give in and get out with me
Give in, give out
Give in and give it to me
Well life takes a turn
Let's keep on straight
It's easy to burn
On stolen faith
The world has no passion, time
I'll judge you by your actions
Give in, give out
Give in and get out with me
Give in, give out
Give in and give it to me
Give in, give out
Give in, give out
Oh happy something
I'm not sure what we should sing
A toast to life and its bitter ironies
Start where we left off
Well I guess we can dream
Dawn brings a new day
But doesn't change a thing
Another day, another night
Another time, would it change anything?
We had the melody
But we were missing the rhyme
Will we ever be in the right time?
The clock is ticking
How long until we are there?
A love struck notion
An off beat love affair
I'm sentimental
Just dance me out of despair
I'll follow your lead
As long as we get there
Another day, another night
Another time, would you be ready for me?
We had the melody
But we were missing the rhyme
A twisted symphony, that skips by every sign
We say another day
We play into the night
Well nothings changed and it's today,
Maybe it's better tomorrow.
And now is now and this is pain.
I'll find something for now to numb this ache.
And Time,
It won't let me down,
It will take you,
Down...
To a place where,
i can't live without you.
These swollen eyes have much to say,
Too much to listen this early and still,
This hopeful girl don't look so great.
It won't be much longer i'll have to take but...
Time,
It won't let me down.
It will take you,
Down...
To a place where,
i can't live without you.
So i'll run fast through life today,
And get my heart to beat louder.
A broken heart sounds the same way,
And running will keep me from hearing it.
Time,
It won't let me down.
It will take you,
Down...
To a place where,
Time Time time time - Time is the enemy!
They say : „Be at the office no minute later than eight.
You got a job to do and we don't wanna wait!”
They hire me and fire me ‘cause I've been always late.
Can't you see tight schedules make me suffocate.
I know I got a problem and I know that I'm to blame, But
I cannot (he cannot)stay part of this game.
Always getting yelled at ‘cause I'm late makes me insane.
Time taking by
I can hear it x 2
and time rolls on by
I can see it
the ends getting nearer
and time passes by
I can feel it x 2
and time floats on by
All that I can smell is your perfume
On a coat hanging behind the door
Stimulating senses
I can't touch for fear I want more
More of the same in large amounts
Looking through a camera lens
The eye of a machine
Is more honest than mine
Time is on your side
To take time is not a cry
In the words of a simple man
To be one of a special kind
You can't be mine
You can't be mine
You can't be mine
Or be touched again
Let me take a picture of you
Let me close my eyes for a time
All that I can smell is your perfume
And it gets me quite uneasy
As empty words fall
On an empty facade
There empty words are falling
You could almost be a mannequin
You could almost be
Time is on your side
To take time is not a cry
In the words of a simple man
To be one of a special kind
You can't be mine
You can't be mine
You can't be mine
Or be touched again
You can't be mine
You can't be mine
You can't be mine
Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time
Time will make the flowers grow,
Time will melt the ice and snow,
Time can make a forest from a drop of dew
But to make me forget your love
Yes, to make me forget your love
Is going to take much more than time
Time will change the winter scene
Time can turn the dessert green
Time can make a mountain disappear from view
But to make me forget your kiss
Oh that fabulous kiss you kiss
Is going to take much more than time
Much more than time
And if I live a thousand years
The thought that we’re apart
Would fill my eyes with tears
Time can make the sun grow cold
Time can wash the clouds of gold
Time who knows the miracle that time can do
But to make me forget your love
Yes, to make me forget your love
Is going to take much more than time
Much more than time
Time can make the sun grow cold
Time can wash the clouds of gold
Time who knows the miracle that time can do
But to make me forget your love
Yes, to make me forget your love
Is going to take much more than time
Much more than time
Much more than time
Well, well
Well, well, well, well, well
Oh let me tell you
(Time)
Time is the one thing everybody feels
(Time)
It just expire with no regards to years
(Time)
They say time can bring about a change
(Time)
Listen, I ain't seein' a doggone thing
But they say
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Oh everyday they tell me, y'all
(Time)
I keep hearin' them sayin'
(It takes time)
Oh oh oh
Well, now
(Time)
He says 'be handsome' - that's what people say
(Time)
But it looks like peace is getting further away
(Time)
Together we stand, and divided we fought
(Time)
But we are still divided by that unseen wall
But they say
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Ever since I was a little billy boy, they say it
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Everyday I hear the same, the same old thing
They say time
They say time
They say time
They say time
But I wanna know, y'all
(How much time does it really take
Before this world of ours is in a bad shape)
Somebody tell me...
(Time)
Well, well, well
(Time)
The day when time brings on that place a change
(Oh oh oh Time)
On that day the whole world will sing
(Time)
Time will have washed all our fears away
(Oh oh oh Time)
And peace will have brought us a brand new day
But it takes time
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Everyday I keep hearin' them telling me that
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Oh Lord I wanna know, now
It takes time
It takes time
It takes time
But, oh, somebody tell me that
(How much time does it really take
Before this world of ours is in a bad shape)
Oh Lord
(Time)
(It takes time)
That's what they tell me, Lord
(Time)
Everyday
(It takes time)
Oh let me tell you now
(Time)
It takes time
Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love,
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love,
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friends,
Maybe forever
Goodbye my friends,
The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
[Intro: Mr. Hudson]
Time is all I feel
It's why I just keep running
The quest for love was all that you and I held dear
With the beat still in your head
And the Good Book by your bed
We will survive
[Hook: Mr. Hudson]
Someday
Are we gonna wake up
A little bit older
Are we outta time, time, time
I know that
Should we ever break up
We'll find a way to make up
In the fullness of time, time, time
[Verse 1: Rockie Fresh]
Man I'm so ahead of my time, through my passion I am the future
I was able to get shine without having to see a jeweler
And I never really pictured me being the pick-and-choosers
But I'm who they wanna hang with like my name was Mr. Koopa
And through the shakers and movers, I'm now producing my best shit
View me like the Zohan, I'm not the nigga to mess with
Look at all the time and the money that was invested
And now in return the good life is what I'm blessed with
But since I got that blessing, I really don't have the time to waste
Never take a day off until the day I win the race
The moment that you do could be the moment that you get replaced
So to my old friends, this is why you rarely see my face
But if I don't make there'll never be an excuse for me
Besides the simple fact that it really just wasn't meant to be
It's affecting me mentally, taking off on this runway
Praying that we meet again one day, and I hope that...
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Rockie Fresh]
All I needed was time, to find out where I was meant to go
It's easy to get lost in a place you never been before
And I admit the change of scene may have caused a change in me
Wish would cause some glitches in the man that I have grown to be
I'm sorry, I guess I was just so caught up on winning
That I lost many people who were here from the beginning
And the time I took to break it, took much longer to fix it
But many of ya'll forgave me and remained to stay committed
I miss it because that life without you I am starting to know now
I'm always on the road and this life is getting so wild
Camera men are lunatics, everywhere that I go now
I'm just trying to cover up my face, like slow down
But somehow, came a long way from where I stood in
No I'm not from Cuba but this is what I'm good in
My life's a instrument but I won't blow it like a woodwind
And I made it happen but now without my family and...
[Bridge: Mr. Hudson (Rockie Fresh)]
Good friends (never easy to find)
You can count them on one hand (they come to you over time)
And they'll never judge you (yeah)
Whatever your crime, crime, crime
I know that (I know that they won't forget us)
I could include you (their spirits are always with us)
And to forgive me (yeah)
In the fullness of time, time, time
Tell me where'd you wanna be (now at this special time in my life)
When all your friends have settled down (I've been blessed with alotta good people)
In the suburbs on the greener side of town
I made some mistakes
I wasn't there for you
Even now I regret
What I put you through
[chorus]
Time is Passing By
Time leaves me standing still
Time waits for no one
Time can't show me what I got to do
I do believe you will forgive time
Will you receive what I will give?
You never turned your back
Despite all I've done
Even though you had tried
I couldn't help but run
[chorus]
I know you be gone
Beyond the walls of time
I need to rectify
Make my peace and ease my mind
time is drifting away
It's not too suttle
just a little they say
The clothes weren't tathered and grey
But I don't care either wayayayieay
Chorus
I'm tired,so tired
I'm faking the truth for the day
I'vetried to ,convince you
I've tried to make me play for the day
You'd say,I'm dead
Now I'm dressed and perfectly cleaned
I've looked up all the words I'm supposed to be
What do you think I'm funny?
when I'm made to feel great
Made to buy so called dramady
Chorus
I'm tired,so tired
I'm faking the truth for the day
I'vetried to ,convince you
I've tried to make me play for the day
You'd say
I've tried to,convince you
I tried to make me play for the day
Time
So tris now waneted to be big an pop christal but one
down fall could be the fall of the wrist now vision
made of sun but the drama gave it mist now he's placed
in a posistion left afflictin what he missed out young
and money to the right of austria got new kicks don't
care what it cost him bruh gotta keep fly just to re
main popular, in the game get more respect on chains
then spittin brains they see they try to change it up
but it still remains the same that's why he out here
grinding to rearange the frames and graphics rap lines
rap around his head in traffic and it all keeps going
to the point he intact its the same tris that used to
trace pac and biggie his people lookin low so he said
fly with me started as a fable belived wasn't able but
it all changed up day he saw it on the cable.
Chorus (repeat 2 times)– Keep stepping one step at a
time, keep pushing two steps at a time, keep coasting
three steps at a time – look back at your past and
you’re grinding just fine.
They love to hate but, he loves to make its so he had
to let em no that anything he's capable overflow and
let it go its another show more to blow but now that
he's cakin friends blow him up about the reason they
ain't bakin half was mistaken when he took it for the
taken life was on full then they blew it to the basment
no foundation had chill dreams of vacations ovr seas to
resorts by jamacians competition out the lead got it
all together coastin through the weather foot on the
gas never runnin out last cuz the way he livin life so
fab but he always gotta say that it aint half bad, life
in the fast got em slomotion bottom from the top its
all in the potion.
Chorus (repeat 2 times)– Keep stepping one step at a
time, keep pushing two steps at a time, keep coasting
three steps at a time – look back at your past and
you’re grinding just fine.
So he back wit another one shine like another sun got
one now he's on his grind for another talkin bout the
truck but hes 2 doors off that's pushin 3 or 4 coupes
off the lot and haters want him to stop but he keep on
pushin. Want him to blow it all but they keep on
bookin, search for the end they could keep on lookin
cause its far as they could see like the coast off
brooklyn grind to shine and shine to grind more he been
shinin like the lights been on 4 decades get payed
manange all the flow. If they got a problem wit it then
just gotta let em go but he's coastin down the road in
an 11 gt and all he had to do was be the kid from the b
the one that ain't trippin ballin mr pippin top floor
sky scraper still sipin on the lipton
Chorus (repeat 2 times)– Keep stepping one step at a
time, keep pushing two steps at a time, keep coasting
three steps at a time – look back at your past and
Hours, day and nights went by and our hidden activities were more seldom carried out
I spent my free time thinking about what to do
I thought about our past and I realised that in the end our rituals were as fake as a mass
There was nothing listening to our prayers
All that we had done was pure falsity
Just fantasy and imagination
We had created an illusion and our minds wanted to see it
We were the incorporated blindness
I still had the dark knowledge I read about but to me it was pure philosophy and folk superstition
Time is ticking and my heart is beating baby
Help me breathing need your love to living
So can see me running to you
Break the walls behind you
Let me love you like you need
Come on, come on
Time is ticking every sec
I need it, yes and no one other
Trust my love is no dust to you i know everything of you
Please let me give my love by can be sure that I...
Some cynics like to say
That there's no life in space
They only see stars through their telescopes.
Out on the ancient seas
Mythical, scaly beasts
Drove sailors to abandon all their hope.
You've asked the questions
But the answers can't be found.
It took us ages
To see that Earth was round.
So put it all on the line
Then give it time.
Some cynics like to say
You'll never leave this place
They only see that name tag on your chest.
You know you're meant for more
Than the Fridays you're living for.
But it's hard to see past the schedule on your desk.
You've asked the questions
But the answers can't be found.
It took us ages
To see that Earth was round.
So put it all on the line
Then give it time.
Of all the critics that you've met
Seems like the worst one's in your head.
Let them presume and postulate
'Til their noises fade.
You've asked the questions
But the answers can't be found.
It took us ages
To see that Earth was round.
So put it all on the line
The world will be fine
Put it all on the line
I found the Holy Bible on a bench outside the courthouse
And I am scared because I do not think of God, no no
The thoughts that cross my mind
Are neither holy, nor divine
Just simple human longings for the boy who does not believe
He once believed in me
So I walked on and stuffed that heavy new book under my arm
And then I got in my car and drove on home
I thought of words he said
'Bout where we're going once we're dead
But other worries fill my head
It's selfish and I know I'm wrong
But I'll miss him when he's gone
Yeah I still fear the black
But there's no looking back
And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
Can't tell which way to go
I doubt we'll ever know
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here
I made it home, unlocked the door, and tossed that book onto the floor
Where it sat waiting like I'm waiting for the truth, so
I put it in a box under my bed, with all those silly things I've kept
And I will leave it there unread, so I can get back to
Figuring out how I'll get through today and tomorrow
Yeah I still fear the black
But there's no looking back
And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
Can't tell which way to go
I doubt we'll ever know
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here
And if it's just gonna end, what's the point of it all?
Call it quits, cut out early, this is surely your fault
When I fall back to you, I am through, I am through
Oh but I do...I do...
Yeah I still fear the black
But there's no lookin' back
And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
Can't tell which way to go
I doubt we'll ever know
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
And I keep lookin' in my watch
And time keeps passin' by
Cause I got you up on my mind
Thinkin' bout the days
When you were mine
Now all I wanna do is
Find my way back
Find my way back to you
Back to love
Like what we had before
Me... You... baby
Ooh, everyday is killin'
To know you with him and not with me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
I can seek time, time just slip away
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps passin' by
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps...
Tick [x4], tickin' on
Everytime I hear your name
And everytime I think of your face
I retract to way, way back
To way, you were my girlfriend
Every picture and everything
My couch in my living room
Makes me wanna run back to you
Ooh, everyday is killin' me
To know you with him and not with me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
I can seek time, time just slip away
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps passin' by
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps...
Tick [x4], tickin' on
Time (Time) [x8]
And time keeps tickinin' I
Gonna find my way back
And time keeps tickin' but I
Gotta find my way back
Back (to you)
Back (to you)
Back (to you)
Seek time... No, I
Ooh, everyday is killin' me
To know you with him and not with me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
I can seek time, time just slip away
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
(Time keeps tickin' away)
Time keeps passin' by
(Time keeps tickin' away)
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps...
(Time keeps tickin' away)
Tick [x4], tickin' on
Ooh, everyday is killin' me
To know you with him and not with me
(So come on... me baby)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
(Why you)
I can seek time, time just slip away
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps passin' by
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps tickin' on
Time keeps...
My head before my heart gives up
Oh, better days, I’ve had enough
I’d turn it off if only I knew how to
My hands are sealed around the love I hold to.
Time will move on
Time will move on.
Always early, always late
I can’t believe the words you say
They ring like stones thrown into a canyon
I feel the weight of each one slowly landing.
Time will move on
Time will move on
Time will move on
Time will move on before I do.
Your eyes give you away
They keep me waiting
Your eyes give you away
They keep me waiting.
Time will move on.
(Break)
Time will move on
Time will move on
Time will move on
Time will move on before I do
Before I do

A leaf will fall
And hit the ground
The wind will carry it around
beneath it's whispering wings
a love is lost another found was
done is surely bound to keep us
guessing what it brings
The time of laughter the time of tears
The time of dreams and many fears
Will be erased for memory
Imagine life is just a dream
Imagine you imagine me
Travelling on the wings of time
Don't know where or why
Imagine you imagine me
Fractions of eternity
Life is learn to left behind
We can't turn back time
Here we are
And our lifes like butterflies
Will fly away from us towards the sky
See how far
We're going trying to hold on
To what we gotta look for reasons why
The time of laughter the time of tears
The time of dreams and many fears
Will be erased for memory
Imagine life is just a dream
Imagine you imagine me
Travelling on the wings of time
Don't know where or why
Imagine you imagine me
Fractions of eternity
Life is learn to left behind
We can't turn back time
'couse we can't turn back time
we can't turn back time
We can't turn back time
Life remains a mystery
Imagine life is just a dream
Imagine you imagine me
Travelling on the wings of time
Don't know where or why
Imagine you imagine me
fractions of eternity
Life is learn to left behind
We can't turn back time
Imagine life is just a dream
Imagine you imagine me
Travelling on the wings of time
Don't know where or why
Imagine you imagine me
fractions of eternity
Life is learn to left behind
I always love you,
Just tell me why you had to go?
The feelings are still blue,
There so many things I still don't know.
I'm no one without you,
Your love was warm and tender.
I'll never forget you,
The time I will always remember.
And all no matter what I do,
When I close my eyes I still realize,
That I had and I'll belong to you.
I always loved you.
That time I will always remember.
Time, time, don't let me down,
You're the man in my playground.
What you say, I will obey
Night and day.
Feel free to turn me on,
Feel free to change my song,
I will start and you'll go on
Sing my song.
I say...
Chorus:
Zman-man
Ten li rak siman-man
Ten li et hazman
Lama lokhets alay

You don't know what you talk about
Zman man
Lama lo tishan-shan
Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihiyot shakhor, lavan
Time, time, don't you be mine,
I will feed his songs and wine.
I'll make you lazy, I'll make you late.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Wait, wait, we two are one,
But you always take the lead.
I lay down and you just run,
Minds your sweep.
I say...
Chorus
You don't know what you talk about
Zman man
Lama lo tishan-shan
Tagid li kama zman
Lama lihiyot shakhor, lavan.
You don't know what you talk about
Chorus
I say...
Time, you do, lead us astray
Leading us almost everyday
Are you a friend?
Are you my keeper?
Are you a relic?
Are you a cheater?
Can I deny you?
Can I believe you?
Can I deceive you?
You're a deceiver
You're a deceiver
Time, when you rush in
From day one,
Till the time that we're done
We just run
Trying to catch you
With the present
Without a chance
Of any progress
Any movements
Any improvements
Despite the effort
You're late
You're late
You're late
You're late
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time
1, 2,... , 30
The speed of light
The speed of sound
Without any doubt
Beats mankind
You're going faster
You think you do
You think you will
Well you won't
Well you don't
You're so slow
You're so slow
You're so goddamn slow
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
Time, goddamn no-good son of a gun
You've got two hands.
I'm watching them move.
Had a big plan.
It's long overdue.
Every minute I wanna be in it but you're drifting away.
Gonna hold on
until you let go.

Tide is an obsolete or archaic term for time, period or season. It survives in compounds such as Yuletide, eventide, shrovetide, Eastertide, noontide, etc.
A simple noun tide was used synonymously with time and as a unit of time with hour in Old English and Middle English, but this usage became obsolete in the 15th century and survives only in occasional poetic reference to "occasion" or "favourable, proper time". Contemporary English narrows the application of the word to the tides of the sea.
Contents |
Etymology[link]
The term "tide" has cognates in other Germanic languages, including Dutch (tijd) and German (Zeit). In German, the word for the tides of the sea (Gezeiten) is based on the root Zeit, indicating a relationship between these two words that is no longer present to the same degree in English. The Anglo Saxon word 'tyd', from which the 'tide' is derived, means 'seasons' in a general sense.[1]
Sundials and tides[link]
Secular use[link]
When used on sundials the 'tides' were around three hours long, starting at 6am and ending at 6pm, the working day divided up into these four tides. Working people would know which 'tide' it was through the ringing of a church bell.
The Saxons divided their sundials into 'tides' not hours, comprising 8 tides to cover day and night starting with Morgen at 04:30 to 07:30 a.m., then Daeg-mael 7.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.; Mid-daeg 10.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.; Ofanverth dagr 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.; Mid-aften 4.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.; Ondverth nott 7.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.; Mid-niht 10.30 p.m. to 1.30 a.m.; Ofanverth nott 1.30 a.m. to 4.30 a.m. , all of three hours duration.[2][3]
Ecclesiastical use[link]
Church sundials or horologes divided into tides are known as Tide Dials and they ceased to be used after the Norman Conquest.[5] The Sundial on the south face of the 7th-century Bewcastle Cross is the oldest in Britain. It is at some height from the ground, and is divided by five principal lines into four spaces, the tides, according to the octaval system of the Angles. Two of these lines, viz., those for 9 a.m. and midday, are crossed at the point. The four spaces are subdivided so as to give the twelve-day hours of the Roman and ecclesiastical use. On one side of the dial there is a vertical line which touches the semicircular border at the second afternoon hour. This may be an accident, but the same kind of line is found on the dial in the crypt of Bamburgh church, where it marks a later hour of the day. The sundial may have been used for calculating the date of the spring equinox and hence Easter.[6][7]
The Saxon church at Corhampton, Hampshire has a sundial with markings divided into eight three-hour 'tides'.[9]
The ecclesiastical day has five divisions, known as the Canonical hours with four three hour tides between. These were marked on the sundials as lines with crosses and indicate Prime at 6 a.m.; Terce at 9 a.m.; Sext at 12 p.m.; None at 3 p.m.; and finally Vespers in the evening at sunset, between 4 and 6 p.m.
As mentioned by Bede, the length of hours and therefore the tides, was flexible at this point in history; being dependent on the length of the day as linked to the seasons. Ecclesiastics would know which 'tide' it was through the ringing of the church bell.
A perfect copy of the whole Bewcastle cross is located in the churchyard of the Wreay Romanesque Church near Carlisle in England.
The Kirkdale tide dial has four principal divisions marked by five crossed lines, and subdivided by single lines; one the line marking one - fourth of the way between sunrise and noon is an incised cross; this would indicate about the hour of 9 a.m. at midwinter and 6 a.m. at midsummer, possibly the time for Prime, whilst the other lines regulated the various canonical Hours. The sundial is dedicated to one 'Hawarth' and dates between 1056 and 1065.[10]
The Nendrum Monastic site in Northern Ireland, traditionally founded in the 5th century by St Machaoi, has a reconstructed tide dial.[11]

Tides (from low-German 'tiet' = 'time') are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.
Most places in the ocean usually experience two high tides and two low tides each day (semi-diurnal tide), but some locations experience only one high and one low tide each day (diurnal tide). The times and amplitude of the tides at the coast are influenced by the alignment of the Sun and Moon, by the pattern of tides in the deep ocean and by the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry (see Timing).[1][2][3]
Tides vary on timescales ranging from hours to years due to numerous influences. To make accurate records, tide gauges at fixed stations measure the water level over time. Gauges ignore variations caused by waves with periods shorter than minutes. These data are compared to the reference (or datum) level usually called mean sea level.[4]
While tides are usually the largest source of short-term sea-level fluctuations, sea levels are also subject to forces such as wind and barometric pressure changes, resulting in storm surges, especially in shallow seas and near coasts.
Tidal phenomena are not limited to the oceans, but can occur in other systems whenever a gravitational field that varies in time and space is present. For example, the solid part of the Earth is affected by tides, though this is not as easily seen as the water tidal movements.

Characteristics[link]

Types of tides
Tide changes proceed via the following stages:
- Sea level rises over several hours, covering the intertidal zone; flood tide.
- The water rises to its highest level, reaching high tide.
- Sea level falls over several hours, revealing the intertidal zone; ebb tide.
- The water stops falling, reaching low tide.
Tides produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams. The moment that the tidal current ceases is called slack water or slack tide. The tide then reverses direction and is said to be turning. Slack water usually occurs near high water and low water. But there are locations where the moments of slack tide differ significantly from those of high and low water.[5]
Tides are most commonly semi-diurnal (two high waters and two low waters each day), or diurnal (one tidal cycle per day). The two high waters on a given day are typically not the same height (the daily inequality); these are the higher high water and the lower high water in tide tables. Similarly, the two low waters each day are the higher low water and the lower low water. The daily inequality is not consistent and is generally small when the Moon is over the equator.[6]
Tidal constituents[link]
See also: Earth tide#Tidal constituents
Tidal changes are the net result of multiple influences that act over varying periods. These influences are called tidal constituents. The primary constituents are the Earth's rotation, the positions of the Moon and the Sun relative to Earth, the Moon's altitude (elevation) above the Earth's equator, and bathymetry.
Variations with periods of less than half a day are called harmonic constituents. Conversely, cycles of days, months, or years are referred to as long period constituents.
The tidal forces affect the entire earth, but the movement of the solid Earth is only centimeters. The atmosphere is much more fluid and compressible so its surface moves kilometers, in the sense of the contour level of a particular low pressure in the outer atmosphere.
Principal lunar semi-diurnal constituent[link]
In most locations, the largest constituent is the "principal lunar semi-diurnal", also known as the M2 (or M2) tidal constituent. Its period is about 12 hours and 25.2 minutes, exactly half a tidal lunar day, which is the average time separating one lunar zenith from the next, and thus is the time required for the Earth to rotate once relative to the Moon. Simple tide clocks track this constituent. The lunar day is longer than the Earth day because the Moon orbits in the same direction the Earth spins. This is analogous to the minute hand on a watch crossing the hour hand at 12:00 and then again at about 1:05½ (not at 1:00).
The Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction as the Earth rotates on its axis, so it takes slightly more than a day—about 24 hours and 50 minutes—for the Moon to return to the same location in the sky. During this time, it has passed overhead (culmination) once and underfoot once (at an hour angle of 00:00 and 12:00 respectively), so in many places the period of strongest tidal forcing is the above mentioned, about 12 hours and 25 minutes. The moment of highest tide is not necessarily when the Moon is nearest to zenith or nadir, but the period of the forcing still determines the time between high tides.
Because the gravitational field created by the Moon weakens with distance from the Moon, it exerts a slightly stronger force on the side of the Earth facing the Moon than average, and a slightly weaker force on the opposite side. The Moon thus tends to "stretch" the Earth slightly along the line connecting the two bodies. The solid Earth deforms a bit, but ocean water, being fluid, is free to move much more in response to the tidal force, particularly horizontally. As the Earth rotates, the magnitude and direction of the tidal force at any particular point on the Earth's surface change constantly; although the ocean never reaches equilibrium—there is never time for the fluid to "catch up" to the state it would eventually reach if the tidal force were constant—the changing tidal force nonetheless causes rhythmic changes in sea surface height.
Semi-diurnal range differences[link]
When there are two high tides each day with different heights (and two low tides also of different heights), the pattern is called a mixed semi-diurnal tide.[7]
Range variation: springs and neaps[link]
The semi-diurnal range (the difference in height between high and low waters over about half a day) varies in a two-week cycle. Approximately twice a month, around new moon and full moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a line (a condition known as syzygy[8]) the tidal force due to the sun reinforces that due to the Moon. The tide's range is then at its maximum: this is called the spring tide, or just springs. It is not named after the season but, like that word, derives from the meaning "jump, burst forth, rise", as in a natural spring.
When the Moon is at first quarter or third quarter, the sun and Moon are separated by 90° when viewed from the Earth, and the solar tidal force partially cancels the Moon's. At these points in the lunar cycle, the tide's range is at its minimum: this is called the neap tide, or neaps (a word of uncertain origin).
Spring tides result in high waters that are higher than average, low waters that are lower than average, 'slack water' time that is shorter than average and stronger tidal currents than average. Neaps result in less extreme tidal conditions. There is about a seven-day interval between springs and neaps.
Lunar altitude[link]
The changing distance separating the Moon and Earth also affects tide heights. When the Moon is closest, at perigee, the range increases, and when it is at apogee, the range shrinks. Every 7½ lunations (the full cycles from full moon to new to full), perigee coincides with either a new or full moon causing perigean spring tides with the largest tidal range. Even at its most powerful this force is still weak[9] causing tidal differences of inches at most.[10]
Bathymetry[link]
The shape of the shoreline and the ocean floor changes the way that tides propagate, so there is no simple, general rule that predicts the time of high water from the Moon's position in the sky. Coastal characteristics such as underwater bathymetry and coastline shape mean that individual location characteristics affect tide forecasting; actual high water time and height may differ from model predictions due to the coastal morphology's effects on tidal flow. However, for a given location the relationship between lunar altitude and the time of high or low tide (the lunitidal interval) is relatively constant and predictable, as is the time of high or low tide relative to other points on the same coast. For example, the high tide at Norfolk, Virginia, predictably occurs approximately two and a half hours before the Moon passes directly overhead.
Land masses and ocean basins act as barriers against water moving freely around the globe, and their varied shapes and sizes affect the size of tidal frequencies. As a result, tidal patterns vary. For example, in the U.S., the East coast has predominantly semi-diurnal tides, as do Europe's Atlantic coasts, while the West coast predominantly has mixed tides.[11][12][13]
Other constituents[link]
These include solar gravitational effects, the obliquity (tilt) of the Earth's equator and rotational axis, the inclination of the plane of the lunar orbit and the elliptical shape of the Earth's orbit of the sun.
A compound tide (or overtide) results from the shallow-water interaction of its two parent waves.[14]
Phase and amplitude[link]
Because the M2 tidal constituent dominates in most locations, the stage or phase of a tide, denoted by the time in hours after high water, is a useful concept. Tidal stage is also measured in degrees, with 360° per tidal cycle. Lines of constant tidal phase are called cotidal lines, which are analogous to contour lines of constant altitude on topographical maps. High water is reached simultaneously along the cotidal lines extending from the coast out into the ocean, and cotidal lines (and hence tidal phases) advance along the coast. Semi-diurnal and long phase constituents are measured from high water, diurnal from maximum flood tide. This and the discussion that follows is precisely true only for a single tidal constituent.
For an ocean in the shape of a circular basin enclosed by a coastline, the cotidal lines point radially inward and must eventually meet at a common point, the amphidromic point. The amphidromic point is at once cotidal with high and low waters, which is satisfied by zero tidal motion. (The rare exception occurs when the tide encircles an island, as it does around New Zealand, Iceland and Madagascar.) Tidal motion generally lessens moving away from continental coasts, so that crossing the cotidal lines are contours of constant amplitude (half the distance between high and low water) which decrease to zero at the amphidromic point. For a semi-diurnal tide the amphidromic point can be thought of roughly like the center of a clock face, with the hour hand pointing in the direction of the high water cotidal line, which is directly opposite the low water cotidal line. High water rotates about the amphidromic point once every 12 hours in the direction of rising cotidal lines, and away from ebbing cotidal lines. This rotation is generally clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and is caused by the Coriolis effect. The difference of cotidal phase from the phase of a reference tide is the epoch. The reference tide is the hypothetical constituent equilibrium tide on a landless Earth measured at 0° longitude, the Greenwich meridian.
In the North Atlantic, because the cotidal lines circulate counterclockwise around the amphidromic point, the high tide passes New York Harbor approximately an hour ahead of Norfolk Harbor. South of Cape Hatteras the tidal forces are more complex, and cannot be predicted reliably based on the North Atlantic cotidal lines.
Physics[link]

History of tidal physics[link]
Tidal physics was important in the early development of heliocentrism[citation needed] and celestial mechanics, with the existence of two daily tides being explained by the Moon's gravity. Later the daily tides were explained more precisely by the interaction of the Moon's gravity and the sun's gravity to cause the variation of tides.
An early explanation of tides was given by Galileo Galilei in his 1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, whose working title was Dialogue on the Tides. However, the resulting theory was incorrect – he attributed the tides to water sloshing due to the Earth's movement around the sun, hoping to provide mechanical proof of the Earth's movement – and the value of the theory is disputed, as discussed there. At the same time Johannes Kepler correctly suggested that the Moon caused the tides, based upon ancient observation and correlations, an explanation which was rejected by Galileo. It was originally mentioned in Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos as being derived from ancient observation.
Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was the first person to explain tides by the gravitational attraction of masses. His explanation of the tides (and many other phenomena) was published in the Principia (1687).[17][18] and used his theory of universal gravitation to account for the tide-generating forces as due to the lunar and solar attractions.[19] Newton and others before Pierre-Simon Laplace worked with an equilibrium theory, largely concerned with an approximation that describes the tides that would occur in a non-inertial ocean evenly covering the whole Earth.[17] The tide-generating force (or its corresponding potential) is still relevant to tidal theory, but as an intermediate quantity rather than as a final result; theory has to consider also the Earth's accumulated dynamic tidal response to the force, a response that is influenced by bathymetry, Earth's rotation, and other factors.[20]
In 1740, the Académie Royale des Sciences in Paris offered a prize for the best theoretical essay on tides. Daniel Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler, Colin Maclaurin and Antoine Cavalleri shared the prize.
Maclaurin used Newton’s theory to show that a smooth sphere covered by a sufficiently deep ocean under the tidal force of a single deforming body is a prolate spheroid (essentially a three dimensional oval) with major axis directed toward the deforming body. Maclaurin was the first to write about the Earth's rotational effects on motion. Euler realized that the tidal force's horizontal component (more than the vertical) drives the tide. In 1744 Jean le Rond d'Alembert studied tidal equations for the atmosphere which did not include rotation.
Pierre-Simon Laplace formulated a system of partial differential equations relating the ocean's horizontal flow to its surface height, the first major dynamic theory for water tides. The Laplace tidal equations are still in use today. William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, rewrote Laplace's equations in terms of vorticity which allowed for solutions describing tidally driven coastally trapped waves, known as Kelvin waves.[21][22][23]
Others including Kelvin and Henri Poincaré further developed Laplace's theory. Based on these developments and the lunar theory of E W Brown describing the motions of the Moon, Arthur Thomas Doodson developed and published in 1921[24] the first modern development of the tide-generating potential in harmonic form: Doodson distinguished 388 tidal frequencies.[25] Some of his methods remain in use.[26]
Forces[link]
The tidal force produced by a massive object (Moon, hereafter) on a small particle located on or in an extensive body (Earth, hereafter) is the vector difference between the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on the particle, and the gravitational force that would be exerted on the particle if it were located at the Earth's center of mass. Thus, the tidal force depends not on the strength of the lunar gravitational field, but on its gradient (which falls off approximately as the inverse cube of the distance to the originating gravitational body).[27][28] The solar gravitational force on the Earth is on average 179 times stronger than the lunar, but because the sun is on average 389 times farther from the Earth, its field gradient is weaker. The solar tidal force is 46% as large as the lunar.[29] More precisely, the lunar tidal acceleration (along the moon-Earth axis, at the Earth's surface) is about 1.1 × 10−7 g, while the solar tidal acceleration (along the sun-Earth axis, at the Earth's surface) is about 0.52 × 10−7 g, where g is the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface.[30] Venus has the largest effect of the other planets, at 0.000113 times the solar effect.
Tidal forces can also be analysed this way: each point of the Earth experiences the moon's radially decreasing gravity differently. Only the tidal forces' horizontal components actually tidally accelerate the water particles since there is small resistance. The tidal force on a particle equals about one ten millionth that of Earth's gravitational force.
The ocean's surface is closely approximated by an equipotential surface, (ignoring ocean currents) commonly referred to as the geoid. Since the gravitational force is equal to the potential's gradient, there are no tangential forces on such a surface, and the ocean surface is thus in gravitational equilibrium. Now consider the effect of massive external bodies such as the moon and sun. These bodies have strong gravitational fields that diminish with distance in space and which act to alter the shape of an equipotential surface on the Earth. This deformation has a fixed spatial orientation relative to the influencing body. The Earth's rotation relative to this shape causes the daily tidal cycle. Gravitational forces follow an inverse-square law (force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance), but tidal forces are inversely proportional to the cube of the distance. The ocean surface moves to adjust to changing tidal equipotential, tending to rise when the tidal potential is high, which occurs on the part of the Earth nearest to and furthest from the moon. When the tidal equipotential changes, the ocean surface is no longer aligned with it, so that the apparent direction of the vertical shifts. The surface then experiences a down slope, in the direction that the equipotential has risen.
Laplace's tidal equations[link]
Ocean depths are much smaller than their horizontal extent. Thus, the response to tidal forcing can be modelled using the Laplace tidal equations which incorporate the following features:
- The vertical (or radial) velocity is negligible, and there is no vertical shear—this is a sheet flow.
- The forcing is only horizontal (tangential).
- The Coriolis effect appears as a fictitious lateral forcing proportional to velocity.
- The surface height's rate of change is proportional to the negative divergence of velocity multiplied by the depth. As the horizontal velocity stretches or compresses the ocean as a sheet, the volume thins or thickens, respectively.
The boundary conditions dictate no flow across the coastline and free slip at the bottom.
The Coriolis effect steers waves to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern allowing coastally trapped waves. Finally, a dissipation term can be added which is an analog to viscosity.[31]
Amplitude and cycle time[link]
The theoretical amplitude of oceanic tides caused by the moon is about 54 centimetres (21 in) at the highest point, which corresponds to the amplitude that would be reached if the ocean possessed a uniform depth, there were no landmasses, and the Earth were rotating in step with the moon's orbit. The sun similarly causes tides, of which the theoretical amplitude is about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) (46% of that of the moon) with a cycle time of 12 hours. At spring tide the two effects add to each other to a theoretical level of 79 centimetres (31 in), while at neap tide the theoretical level is reduced to 29 centimetres (11 in). Since the orbits of the Earth about the sun, and the moon about the Earth, are elliptical, tidal amplitudes change somewhat as a result of the varying Earth–sun and Earth–moon distances. This causes a variation in the tidal force and theoretical amplitude of about ±18% for the moon and ±5% for the sun. If both the sun and moon were at their closest positions and aligned at new moon, the theoretical amplitude would reach 93 centimetres (37 in).
Real amplitudes differ considerably, not only because of depth variations and continental obstacles, but also because wave propagation across the ocean has a natural period of the same order of magnitude as the rotation period: if there were no land masses, it would take about 30 hours for a long wavelength surface wave to propagate along the equator halfway around the Earth (by comparison, the Earth's lithosphere has a natural period of about 57 minutes). Earth tides, which raise and lower the bottom of the ocean, and the tide's own gravitational self attraction are both significant and further complicate the ocean's response to tidal forces.
Dissipation[link]
See also: Tidal acceleration
Earth's tidal oscillations introduce dissipation at an average rate of about 3.75 terawatt.[32] About 98% of this dissipation is by marine tidal movement.[33] Dissipation arises as basin-scale tidal flows drive smaller-scale flows which experience turbulent dissipation. This tidal drag creates torque on the moon that gradually transfers angular momentum to its orbit, and a gradual increase in Earth–moon separation. The equal and opposite torque on the Earth correspondingly decreases its rotational velocity. Thus, over geologic time, the moon recedes from the Earth, at about 3.8 centimetres (1.5 in)/year, lengthening the terrestrial day.[34] Day length has increased by about 2 hours in the last 600 million years. Assuming (as a crude approximation) that the deceleration rate has been constant, this would imply that 70 million years ago, day length was on the order of 1% shorter with about 4 more days per year.
Observation and prediction[link]
History[link]
From ancient times, tidal observation and discussion has increased in sophistication, first marking the daily recurrence, then tides' relationship to the sun and moon. Pytheas travelled to the British Isles about 325 BC and seems to be the first to have related spring tides to the phase of the moon.
In the 2nd century BC, the Babylonian astronomer, Seleucus of Seleucia, correctly described the phenomenon of tides in order to support his heliocentric theory.[35] He correctly theorized that tides were caused by the moon, although he believed that the interaction was mediated by the pneuma. He noted that tides varied in time and strength in different parts of the world. According to Strabo (1.1.9), Seleucus was the first to link tides to the lunar attraction, and that the height of the tides depends on the moon's position relative to the sun.[36]
In China, Wang Chong (27–100 AD) correlated tide to the moon's movement in the book entitled Lunheng. He noted that "tide's rise and fall follow the moon and vary in magnitude."[37]
The Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder collates many tidal observations, e.g., the spring tides are a few days after (or before) new and full moon and are highest around the equinoxes, though Pliny noted many relationships now regarded as fanciful. In his Geography, Strabo described tides in the Persian Gulf having their greatest range when the moon was furthest from the plane of the equator. All this despite the relatively small amplitude of Mediterranean basin tides. (The strong currents through the Euripus Strait and the Strait of Messina puzzled Aristotle.) Philostratus discussed tides in Book Five of The Life of Apollonius of Tyana. Philostratus mentions the moon, but attributes tides to "spirits". In Europe around 730 AD, the Venerable Bede described how the rising tide on one coast of the British Isles coincided with the fall on the other and described the time progression of high water along the Northumbrian coast.
In the 9th century, the Arabian earth-scientist, Al-Kindi (Alkindus), wrote a treatise entitled Risala fi l-Illa al-Failali l-Madd wa l-Fazr (Treatise on the Efficient Cause of the Flow and Ebb), in which he presents an argument on tides which "depends on the changes which take place in bodies owing to the rise and fall of temperature."[citation needed] He describes a precise laboratory experiment that proved his argument.[38]
The first tide table in China was recorded in 1056 AD primarily for visitors wishing to see the famous tidal bore in the Qiantang River. The first known British tide table is thought to be that of John Wallingford, who died Abbot of St. Albans in 1213, based on high water occurring 48 minutes later each day, and three hours earlier at the Thames mouth than upriver at London.
William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) led the first systematic harmonic analysis of tidal records starting in 1867. The main result was the building of a tide-predicting machine using a system of pulleys to add together six harmonic time functions. It was "programmed" by resetting gears and chains to adjust phasing and amplitudes. Similar machines were used until the 1960s.[39]
The first known sea-level record of an entire spring–neap cycle was made in 1831 on the Navy Dock in the Thames Estuary. Many large ports had automatic tide gage stations by 1850.
William Whewell first mapped co-tidal lines ending with a nearly global chart in 1836. In order to make these maps consistent, he hypothesized the existence of amphidromes where co-tidal lines meet in the mid-ocean. These points of no tide were confirmed by measurement in 1840 by Captain Hewett, RN, from careful soundings in the North Sea.[21]
Timing[link]
There is a delay between the phases of the moon and the effect on the tide. Springs and neaps in the North Sea, for example, are two days behind the new/full moon and first/third quarter moon. This is called the tide's age.[40][41]
The local bathymetry greatly influences the tide's exact time and height at a particular coastal point. There are some extreme cases: the Bay of Fundy, on the east coast of Canada, features the world's largest well-documented tidal ranges, 17 metres (56 ft) because of its shape.[42] Some experts[who?] believe Ungava Bay in northern Quebec to have even higher tidal ranges[citation needed], but it is free of pack ice for only about four months every year, while the Bay of Fundy rarely freezes.
Southampton in the United Kingdom has a double high water caused by the interaction between the region's different tidal harmonics, caused primarily by the east/west orientation of the English Channel and the fact that when it is high water at Dover it is low water at Land's End (some 300 nautical miles distant) and vice versa. This is contrary to the popular belief that the flow of water around the Isle of Wight creates two high waters. The Isle of Wight is important, however, since it is responsible for the 'Young Flood Stand', which describes the pause of the incoming tide about three hours after low water.[43]
Because the oscillation modes of the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic Sea do not coincide with any significant astronomical forcing period, the largest tides are close to their narrow connections with the Atlantic Ocean. Extremely small tides also occur for the same reason in the Gulf of Mexico and Sea of Japan. Elsewhere, as along the southern coast of Australia, low tides can be due to the presence of a nearby amphidrome.
Analysis[link]
Isaac Newton's theory of gravitation first enabled an explanation of why there were generally two tides a day, not one, and offered hope for detailed understanding. Although it may seem that tides could be predicted via a sufficiently detailed knowledge of the instantaneous astronomical forcings, the actual tide at a given location is determined by astronomical forces accumulated over many days. Precise results require detailed knowledge of the shape of all the ocean basins—their bathymetry and coastline shape.
Current procedure for analysing tides follows the method of harmonic analysis introduced in the 1860s by William Thomson. It is based on the principle that the astronomical theories of the motions of sun and moon determine a large number of component frequencies, and at each frequency there is a component of force tending to produce tidal motion, but that at each place of interest on the Earth, the tides respond at each frequency with an amplitude and phase peculiar to that locality. At each place of interest, the tide heights are therefore measured for a period of time sufficiently long (usually more than a year in the case of a new port not previously studied) to enable the response at each significant tide-generating frequency to be distinguished by analysis, and to extract the tidal constants for a sufficient number of the strongest known components of the astronomical tidal forces to enable practical tide prediction. The tide heights are expected to follow the tidal force, with a constant amplitude and phase delay for each component. Because astronomical frequencies and phases can be calculated with certainty, the tide height at other times can then be predicted once the response to the harmonic components of the astronomical tide-generating forces has been found.
The main patterns in the tides are
- the twice-daily variation
- the difference between the first and second tide of a day
- the spring–neap cycle
- the annual variation
The Highest Astronomical Tide is the perigean spring tide when both the sun and the moon are closest to the Earth.
When confronted by a periodically varying function, the standard approach is to employ Fourier series, a form of analysis that uses sinusoidal functions as a basis set, having frequencies that are zero, one, two, three, etc. times the frequency of a particular fundamental cycle. These multiples are called harmonics of the fundamental frequency, and the process is termed harmonic analysis. If the basis set of sinusoidal functions suit the behaviour being modelled, relatively few harmonic terms need to be added. Orbital paths are very nearly circular, so sinusoidal variations are suitable for tides.
For the analysis of tide heights, the Fourier series approach has in practice to be made more elaborate than the use of a single frequency and its harmonics. The tidal patterns are decomposed into many sinusoids having many fundamental frequencies, corresponding (as in the lunar theory) to many different combinations of the motions of the Earth, the moon, and the angles that define the shape and location of their orbits.
For tides, then, harmonic analysis is not limited to harmonics of a single frequency.[44] In other words, the harmonies are multiples of many fundamental frequencies, not just of the fundamental frequency of the simpler Fourier series approach. Their representation as a Fourier series having only one fundamental frequency and its (integer) multiples would require many terms, and would be severely limited in the time-range for which it would be valid.
The study of tide height by harmonic analysis was begun by Laplace, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), and George Darwin. A.T. Doodson extended their work, introducing the Doodson Number notation to organise the hundreds of resulting terms. This approach has been the international standard ever since, and the complications arise as follows: the tide-raising force is notionally given by sums of several terms. Each term is of the form
- A·cos(w·t + p)
where A is the amplitude, w is the angular frequency usually given in degrees per hour corresponding to t measured in hours, and p is the phase offset with regard to the astronomical state at time t = 0 . There is one term for the moon and a second term for the sun. The phase p of the first harmonic for the moon term is called the lunitidal interval or high water interval. The next step is to accommodate the harmonic terms due to the elliptical shape of the orbits. Accordingly, the value of A is not a constant but also varying with time, slightly, about some average figure. Replace it then by A(t) where A is another sinusoid, similar to the cycles and epicycles of Ptolemaic theory. Accordingly,
- A(t) = A·(1 + Aa·cos(wa·t + pa)) ,
which is to say an average value A with a sinusoidal variation about it of magnitude Aa , with frequency wa and phase pa . Thus the simple term is now the product of two cosine factors:
- A·[1 + Aa·cos(wa + pa)]·cos(w·t + p)
Given that for any x and y
- cos(x)·cos(y) = ½·cos( x + y ) + ½·cos( x–y ) ,
it is clear that a compound term involving the product of two cosine terms each with their own frequency is the same as three simple cosine terms that are to be added at the original frequency and also at frequencies which are the sum and difference of the two frequencies of the product term. (Three, not two terms, since the whole expression is (1 + cos(x))·cos(y) .) Consider further that the tidal force on a location depends also on whether the moon (or the sun) is above or below the plane of the equator, and that these attributes have their own periods also incommensurable with a day and a month, and it is clear that many combinations result. With a careful choice of the basic astronomical frequencies, the Doodson Number annotates the particular additions and differences to form the frequency of each simple cosine term.
File:Tidal constituent sum.gif
Tidal prediction summing constituent parts.
Remember that astronomical tides do not include weather effects. Also, changes to local conditions (sandbank movement, dredging harbour mouths, etc.) away from those prevailing at the measurement time affect the tide's actual timing and magnitude. Organisations quoting a "highest astronomical tide" for some location may exaggerate the figure as a safety factor against analytical uncertainties, distance from the nearest measurement point, changes since the last observation time, ground subsidence, etc., to avert liability should an engineering work be overtopped. Special care is needed when assessing the size of a "weather surge" by subtracting the astronomical tide from the observed tide.
Careful Fourier data analysis over a nineteen-year period (the National Tidal Datum Epoch in the U.S.) uses frequencies called the tidal harmonic constituents. Nineteen years is preferred because the Earth, moon and sun's relative positions repeat almost exactly in the Metonic cycle of 19 years, which is long enough to include the 18.613 year lunar nodal tidal constituent. This analysis can be done using only the knowledge of the forcing period, but without detailed understanding of the mathematical derivation, which means that useful tidal tables have been constructed for centuries.[45] The resulting amplitudes and phases can then be used to predict the expected tides. These are usually dominated by the constituents near 12 hours (the semi-diurnal constituents), but there are major constituents near 24 hours (diurnal) as well. Longer term constituents are 14 day or fortnightly, monthly, and semiannual. Semi-diurnal tides dominated coastline, but some areas such as the South China Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are primarily diurnal. In the semi-diurnal areas, the primary constituents M2 (lunar) and S2 (solar) periods differ slightly, so that the relative phases, and thus the amplitude of the combined tide, change fortnightly (14 day period).[46]
In the M2 plot above, each cotidal line differs by one hour from its neighbors, and the thicker lines show tides in phase with equilibrium at Greenwich. The lines rotate around the amphidromic points counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere so that from Baja California Peninsula to Alaska and from France to Ireland the M2 tide propagates northward. In the southern hemisphere this direction is clockwise. On the other hand M2 tide propagates counterclockwise around New Zealand, but this is because the islands act as a dam and permit the tides to have different heights on the islands' opposite sides. (The tides do propagate northward on the east side and southward on the west coast, as predicted by theory.)
The exception is at Cook Strait where the tidal currents periodically link high to low water. This is because cotidal lines 180° around the amphidromes are in opposite phase, for example high water across from low water at each end of Cook Strait. Each tidal constituent has a different pattern of amplitudes, phases, and amphidromic points, so the M2 patterns cannot be used for other tide components.

Two spring tides per month vs. one.
Because the moon is moving in its orbit around the earth and in the same sense as the Earth's rotation, a point on the earth must rotate slightly further to catch up so that the time between semidiurnal tides is not twelve but 12.4206 hours—a bit over twenty-five minutes extra. The two peaks are not equal. The two high tides a day alternate in maximum heights: lower high (just under three feet), higher high (just over three feet), and again lower high. Likewise for the low tides.
When the Earth, moon, and sun are in line (sun–Earth–moon, or sun–moon–Earth) the two main influences combine to produce spring tides; when the two forces are opposing each other as when the angle moon–Earth–sun is close to ninety degrees, neap tides result. As the moon moves around its orbit it changes from north of the equator to south of the equator. The alternation in high tide heights becomes smaller, until they are the same (at the lunar equinox, the moon is above the equator), then redevelop but with the other polarity, waxing to a maximum difference and then waning again.
Current[link]
The tides' influence on current flow is much more difficult to analyse, and data is much more difficult to collect. A tidal height is a simple number which applies to a wide region simultaneously. A flow has both a magnitude and a direction, both of which can vary substantially with depth and over short distances due to local bathymetry. Also, although a water channel's center is the most useful measuring site, mariners object when current-measuring equipment obstructs waterways. A flow proceeding up a curved channel is the same flow, even though its direction varies continuously along the channel. Surprisingly, flood and ebb flows are often not in opposite directions. Flow direction is determined by the upstream channel's shape, not the downstream channel's shape. Likewise, eddies may form in only one flow direction.
Nevertheless, current analysis is similar to tidal analysis: in the simple case, at a given location the flood flow is in mostly one direction, and the ebb flow in another direction. Flood velocities are given positive sign, and ebb velocities negative sign. Analysis proceeds as though these are tide heights.
In more complex situations, the main ebb and flood flows do not dominate. Instead, the flow direction and magnitude trace an ellipse over a tidal cycle (on a polar plot) instead of along the ebb and flood lines. In this case, analysis might proceed along pairs of directions, with the primary and secondary directions at right angles. An alternative is to treat the tidal flows as complex numbers, as each value has both a magnitude and a direction.
Tide flow information is most commonly seen on nautical charts, presented as a table of flow speeds and bearings at hourly intervals, with separate tables for spring and neap tides. The timing is relative to high water at some harbour where the tidal behaviour is similar in pattern, though it may be far away.
As with tide height predictions, tide flow predictions based only on astronomical factors do not incorporate weather conditions, which can completely change the outcome.
The tidal flow through Cook Strait between the two main islands of New Zealand is particularly interesting, as the tides on each side of the strait are almost exactly out of phase, so that one side's high water is simultaneous with the other's low water. Strong currents result, with almost zero tidal height change in the strait's center. Yet, although the tidal surge normally flows in one direction for six hours and in the reverse direction for six hours, a particular surge might last eight or ten hours with the reverse surge enfeebled. In especially boisterous weather conditions, the reverse surge might be entirely overcome so that the flow continues in the same direction through three or more surge periods.
A further complication for Cook Strait's flow pattern is that the tide at the north side (e.g. at Nelson) follows the common bi-weekly spring–neap tide cycle (as found along the west side of the country), but the south side's tidal pattern has only one cycle per month, as on the east side: Wellington, and Napier.
Figure 12 shows separately the high water and low water height and time, through November 2007; these are not measured values but instead are calculated from tidal parameters derived from years-old measurements. Cook Strait's nautical chart offers tidal current information. For instance the January 1979 edition for 41°13·9’S 174°29·6’E (north west of Cape Terawhiti) refers timings to Westport while the January 2004 issue refers to Wellington. Near Cape Terawhiti in the middle of Cook Strait the tidal height variation is almost nil while the tidal current reaches its maximum, especially near the notorious Karori Rip. Aside from weather effects, the actual currents through Cook Strait are influenced by the tidal height differences between the two ends of the strait and as can be seen, only one of the two spring tides at the north end (Nelson) has a counterpart spring tide at the south end (Wellington), so the resulting behaviour follows neither reference harbour.[citation needed]
Power generation[link]
Main article: Tidal power
Tidal energy can be extracted by two means: inserting a water turbine into a tidal current, or building ponds that release/admit water through a turbine. In the first case, the energy amount is entirely determined by the timing and tidal current magnitude. However, the best currents may be unavailable because the turbines would obstruct ships. In the second, the impoundment dams are expensive to construct, natural water cycles are completely disrupted, ship navigation is disrupted. However, with multiple ponds, power can be generated at chosen times. So far, there are few installed systems for tidal power generation (most famously, La Rance by Saint Malo, France) which faces many difficulties. Aside from environmental issues, simply withstanding corrosion and biological fouling pose engineering challenges.
Tidal power proponents point out that, unlike wind power systems, generation levels can be reliably predicted, save for weather effects. While some generation is possible for most of the tidal cycle, in practice turbines lose efficiency at lower operating rates. Since the power available from a flow is proportional to the cube of the flow speed, the times during which high power generation is possible are brief.
Navigation[link]
File:Tide legal use.gif
Civil and maritime uses of tidal data
Tidal flows are important for navigation, and significant errors in position occur if they are not accommodated. Tidal heights are also important; for example many rivers and harbours have a shallow "bar" at the entrance which prevents boats with significant draft from entering at low tide.
Until the advent of automated navigation, competence in calculating tidal effects was important to naval officers. The certificate of examination for lieutenants in the Royal Navy once declared that the prospective officer was able to "shift his tides".[47]
Tidal flow timings and velocities appear in tide charts or a tidal stream atlas. Tide charts come in sets. Each chart covers a single hour between one high water and another (they ignore the leftover 24 minutes) and show the average tidal flow for that hour. An arrow on the tidal chart indicates the direction and the average flow speed (usually in knots) for spring and neap tides. If a tide chart is not available, most nautical charts have "tidal diamonds" which relate specific points on the chart to a table giving tidal flow direction and speed.
The standard procedure to counteract tidal effects on navigation is to (1) calculate a "dead reckoning" position (or DR) from travel distance and direction, (2) mark the chart (with a vertical cross like a plus sign) and (3) draw a line from the DR in the tide's direction. The distance the tide moves the boat along this line is computed by the tidal speed, and this gives an "estimated position" or EP (traditionally marked with a dot in a triangle).
File:Tidal Indicator Delaware River ca1897.jpg
Tidal Indicator, Delaware River, Delaware c. 1897. At the time shown in the figure, the tide is 1¼ feet above mean low water and is still falling, as indicated by pointing of the arrow. Indicator is powered by system of pulleys, cables and a float. (Report Of The Superintendent Of The Coast & Geodetic Survey Showing The Progress Of The Work During The Fiscal Year Ending With June 1897 (p. 483))
Nautical charts display the water's "charted depth" at specific locations with "soundings" and the use of bathymetric contour lines to depict the submerged surface's shape. These depths are relative to a "chart datum", which is typically the water level at the lowest possible astronomical tide (although other datums are commonly used, especially historically, and tides may be lower or higher for meteorological reasons) and are therefore the minimum possible water depth during the tidal cycle. "Drying heights" may also be shown on the chart, which are the heights of the exposed seabed at the lowest astronomical tide.
Tide tables list each day's high and low water heights and times. To calculate the actual water depth, add the charted depth to the published tide height. Depth for other times can be derived from tidal curves published for major ports. The rule of twelfths can suffice if an accurate curve is not available. This approximation presumes that the increase in depth in the six hours between low and high water is: first hour — 1/12, second — 2/12, third — 3/12, fourth — 3/12, fifth — 2/12, sixth — 1/12.
Biological aspects[link]
Intertidal ecology[link]
Main article: Intertidal ecology
Intertidal ecology is the study of intertidal ecosystems, where organisms live between the low and high water lines. At low water, the intertidal is exposed (or ‘emersed’) whereas at high water, the intertidal is underwater (or ‘immersed’). Intertidal ecologists therefore study the interactions between intertidal organisms and their environment, as well as among the different species. The most important interactions may vary according to the type of intertidal community. The broadest classifications are based on substrates — rocky shore or soft bottom.
Intertidal organisms experience a highly variable and often hostile environment, and have adapted to cope with and even exploit these conditions. One easily visible feature is vertical zonation, in which the community divides into distinct horizontal bands of specific species at each elevation above low water. A species' ability to cope with desiccation determines its upper limit, while competition with other species sets its lower limit.
Humans use intertidal regions for food and recreation. Overexploitation can damage intertidals directly. Other anthropogenic actions such as introducing invasive species and climate change have large negative effects. Marine Protected Areas are one option communities can apply to protect these areas and aid scientific research.
Biological rhythms[link]
The approximately fortnightly tidal cycle has large effects on intertidal organisms. Hence their biological rhythms tend to occur in rough multiples of this period. Many other animals such as the vertebrates, display similar rhythms. Examples include gestation and egg hatching. In humans, the menstrual cycle lasts roughly a lunar month, an even multiple of the tidal period. Such parallels at least hint at the common descent of all animals from a marine ancestor.[48]
Other tides[link]
When oscillating tidal currents in the stratified ocean flow over uneven bottom topography, they generate internal waves with tidal frequencies. Such waves are called internal tides.
Shallow areas in otherwise open water can experience rotary tidal currents, flowing in directions that continually change and thus the flow direction (not the flow) completes a full rotation in 12½ hours (for example, the Nantucket Shoals.[49]
In addition to oceanic tides, large lakes can experience small tides and even planets can experience atmospheric tides and Earth tides. These are continuum mechanical phenomena. The first two take place in fluids. The third affects the Earth's thin solid crust surrounding its semi-liquid interior (with various modifications).
Lake tides[link]
Large lakes such as Superior and Erie can experience tides of 1 to 4 cm, but these can be masked by meteorologically induced phenomena such as seiche.[50] The tide in Lake Michigan is described as 0.5 to 1.5 inches (13 to 38 mm)[51] or 1¾ inches.[52]
Atmospheric tides[link]
Atmospheric tides are negligible at ground level and aviation altitudes, masked by weather's much more important effects. Atmospheric tides are both gravitational and thermal in origin and are the dominant dynamics from about 80–120 kilometres (50–75 mi) above which the molecular density becomes too low to support fluid behavior.
Earth tides[link]
Main article: Earth tide
Earth tides or terrestrial tides affect the entire Earth's mass, which acts similarly to a liquid gyroscope with a very thin crust. The Earth's crust shifts (in/out, east/west, north/south) in response to lunar and solar gravitation, ocean tides, and atmospheric loading. While negligible for most human activities, terrestrial tides' semi-diurnal amplitude can reach about 55 centimetres (22 in) at the equator—15 centimetres (5.9 in) due to the sun—which is important in GPS calibration and VLBI measurements. Precise astronomical angular measurements require knowledge of the Earth's rotation rate and nutation, both of which are influenced by Earth tides. The semi-diurnal M2 Earth tides are nearly in phase with the moon with a lag of about two hours.[citation needed]
Some particle physics experiments must adjust for terrestrial tides.[53] For instance, at CERN and SLAC, the very large particle accelerators account for terrestrial tides. Among the relevant effects are circumference deformation for circular accelerators and particle beam energy.[54][55] Since tidal forces generate currents in conducting fluids in the Earth's interior, they in turn affect the Earth's magnetic field. Earth tides have also been linked to the triggering of earthquakes[56] (see also earthquake prediction).
Galactic tides[link]
Galactic tides are the tidal forces exerted by galaxies on stars within them and satellite galaxies orbiting them. The galactic tide's effects on the Solar System's Oort cloud are believed to cause 90 percent of long-period comets.[57]
Misapplications[link]
Tsunamis, the large waves that occur after earthquakes, are sometimes called tidal waves, but this name is given by their resemblance to the tide, rather than any actual link to the tide. Other phenomena unrelated to tides but using the word tide are rip tide, storm tide, hurricane tide, and black or red tides.

Spacetime, |
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.[1] Time is a component quantity of many measurements used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.[2][3][4] The temporal position of events with respect to the transitory present is continually changing; events happen, then are located further and further in the past. Time has been a major subject of religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields of study without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.[5] A simple definition states that "time is what clocks measure".[2][5]
Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in the International System of Units. Time is used to define other quantities — such as velocity — so defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition.[6] An operational definition of time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational definition leaves aside the question whether there is something called time, apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be measured. Investigations of a single continuum called spacetime bring questions about space into questions about time, questions that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.
Two contrasting viewpoints on time divide many prominent philosophers. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. Sir Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time.[7][8] Time travel, in this view, becomes a possibility as other "times" persist like frames of a film strip, spread out across the time line. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events (such as, change of conditions within an ever-present, allowing an endless 'succession' of changes). This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz[9] and Immanuel Kant,[10][11] holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined in terms of radiation emitted by caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans.
Ray Cummings, an early writer of science fiction, wrote in 1922, "Time... is what keeps everything from happening at once",[12] a sentence repeated by scientists such as C. J. Overbeck,[13] and John Archibald Wheeler.[14][15]

Temporal measurement[link]
Temporal measurement, or chronometry, takes two distinct period forms: the calendar, a mathematical abstraction for calculating extensive periods of time,[16] and the clock, a physical mechanism that counts the ongoing passage of time. In day-to-day life, the clock is consulted for periods less than a day, the calendar, for periods longer than a day. Increasingly, personal electronic devices display both calendars and clocks simultaneously. The number (as on a clock dial or calendar) that marks the occurrence of a specified event as to hour or date is obtained by counting from a fiducial epoch — a central reference point.
History of the calendar[link]
Main article: Calendar
Artifacts from the Palaeolithic suggest that the moon was used to reckon time as early as 6,000 years ago.[17] Lunar calendars were among the first to appear, either 12 or 13 lunar months (either 354 or 384 days). Without intercalation to add days or months to some years, seasons quickly drift in a calendar based solely on twelve lunar months. Lunisolar calendars have a thirteenth month added to some years to make up for the difference between a full year (now known to be about 365.24 days) and a year of just twelve lunar months. The numbers twelve and thirteen came to feature prominently in many cultures, at least partly due to this relationship of months to years.
The reforms of Julius Caesar in 45 BC put the Roman world on a solar calendar. This Julian calendar was faulty in that its intercalation still allowed the astronomical solstices and equinoxes to advance against it by about 11 minutes per year. Pope Gregory XIII introduced a correction in 1582; the Gregorian calendar was only slowly adopted by different nations over a period of centuries, but is today by far the one in most common use around the world.
History of time measurement devices[link]
Main article: History of timekeeping devices
See also: Clock
A large variety of devices have been invented to measure time. The study of these devices is called horology.
An Egyptian device dating to c.1500 BC, similar in shape to a bent T-square, measured the passage of time from the shadow cast by its crossbar on a nonlinear rule. The T was oriented eastward in the mornings. At noon, the device was turned around so that it could cast its shadow in the evening direction.[18]
A sundial uses a gnomon to cast a shadow on a set of markings which were calibrated to the hour. The position of the shadow marked the hour in local time.
The most precise timekeeping devices of the ancient world were the water clock or clepsydra, one of which was found in the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I (1525–1504 BC). They could be used to measure the hours even at night, but required manual upkeep to replenish the flow of water. The Greeks and Chaldeans regularly maintained timekeeping records as an essential part of their astronomical observations. Arab inventors and engineers in particular made improvements on the use of water clocks up to the Middle Ages.[19] In the 11th century, Chinese inventors and engineers invented the first mechanical clocks to be driven by an escapement mechanism.
The hourglass uses the flow of sand to measure the flow of time. They were used in navigation. Ferdinand Magellan used 18 glasses on each ship for his circumnavigation of the globe (1522).[20] Incense sticks and candles were, and are, commonly used to measure time in temples and churches across the globe. Waterclocks, and later, mechanical clocks, were used to mark the events of the abbeys and monasteries of the Middle Ages. Richard of Wallingford (1292–1336), abbot of St. Alban's abbey, famously built a mechanical clock as an astronomical orrery about 1330.[21][22] Great advances in accurate time-keeping were made by Galileo Galilei and especially Christiaan Huygens with the invention of pendulum driven clocks.
The English word clock probably comes from the Middle Dutch word "klocke" which is in turn derived from the mediaeval Latin word "clocca", which is ultimately derived from Celtic, and is cognate with French, Latin, and German words that mean bell. The passage of the hours at sea were marked by bells, and denoted the time (see ship's bells). The hours were marked by bells in the abbeys as well as at sea.
Clocks can range from watches, to more exotic varieties such as the Clock of the Long Now. They can be driven by a variety of means, including gravity, springs, and various forms of electrical power, and regulated by a variety of means such as a pendulum.
A chronometer is a portable timekeeper that meets certain precision standards. Initially, the term was used to refer to the marine chronometer, a timepiece used to determine longitude by means of celestial navigation, a precision firstly achieved by John Harrison. More recently, the term has also been applied to the chronometer watch, a wristwatch that meets precision standards set by the Swiss agency COSC.
The most accurate timekeeping devices are atomic clocks, which are accurate to seconds in many millions of years,[24] and are used to calibrate other clocks and timekeeping instruments. Atomic clocks use the spin property of atoms as their basis, and since 1967, the International System of Measurements bases its unit of time, the second, on the properties of caesium atoms. SI defines the second as 9,192,631,770 cycles of that radiation which corresponds to the transition between two electron spin energy levels of the ground state of the 133Cs atom.
Today, the Global Positioning System in coordination with the Network Time Protocol can be used to synchronize timekeeping systems across the globe.
In medieval philosophical writings, the atom was a unit of time referred to as the smallest possible division of time. The earliest known occurrence in English is in Byrhtferth's Enchiridion (a science text) of 1010–1012,[25] where it was defined as 1/564 of a momentum (1½ minutes),[26] and thus equal to 15/94 of a second. It was used in the computus, the process of calculating the date of Easter.
As of May 2010[update], the smallest time interval uncertainty in direct measurements is on the order of 12 attoseconds (1.2 × 10−17 seconds), about 3.7 × 1026 Planck times.[27]

The SI base unit for time is the SI second. From the second, larger units such as the minute, hour and day are defined, though they are "non-SI" units because they do not use the decimal system, and also because of the occasional need for a leap second. They are, however, officially accepted for use with the International System. There are no fixed ratios between seconds and months or years as months and years have significant variations in length.[30]
The official SI definition of the second is as follows:[30][31]
The second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.
At its 1997 meeting, the CIPM affirmed that this definition refers to a caesium atom in its ground state at a temperature of 0 K.[30] Previous to 1967, the second was defined as:
the fraction 1/31,556,925.9747 of the tropical year for 1900 January 0 at 12 hours ephemeris time.
The current definition of the second, coupled with the current definition of the metre, is based on the special theory of relativity, which affirms our space-time to be a Minkowski space.
World time[link]
Time-keeping is so critical to the functioning of modern societies that it is coordinated at an international level. The basis for scientific time is a continuous count of seconds based on atomic clocks around the world, known as the International Atomic Time (TAI). Other scientific time standards include Terrestrial Time and Barycentric Dynamical Time.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the basis for modern civil time. Since January 1, 1972, it has been defined to follow TAI with an exact offset of an integer number of seconds, changing only when a leap second is added to keep clock time synchronized with the rotation of the Earth. In TAI and UTC systems, the duration of a second is constant, as it is defined by the unchanging transition period of the caesium atom.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is an older standard, adopted starting with British railways in 1847. Using telescopes instead of atomic clocks, GMT was calibrated to the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in the UK. Universal Time (UT) is the modern term for the international telescope-based system, adopted to replace "Greenwich Mean Time" in 1928 by the International Astronomical Union. Observations at the Greenwich Observatory itself ceased in 1954, though the location is still used as the basis for the coordinate system. Because the rotational period of Earth is not perfectly constant, the duration of a second would vary if calibrated to a telescope-based standard like GMT or UT—in which a second was defined as a fraction of a day or year. The terms "GMT" and "Greenwich Mean Time" are sometimes used informally to refer to UT or UTC.
The Global Positioning System also broadcasts a very precise time signal worldwide, along with instructions for converting GPS time to UTC.
Earth is split up into a number of time zones. Most time zones are exactly one hour apart, and by convention compute their local time as an offset from UTC or GMT. In many locations these offsets vary twice yearly due to daylight saving time transitions.
Time conversions[link]
These conversions are accurate at the millisecond level for time systems involving earth rotation (UT1 & TT). Conversions between atomic time systems (TAI, GPS, and UTC) are accurate at the microsecond level.
| System | Description | UT1 | UTC | TT | TAI | GPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UT1 | Mean Solar Time | UT1 | UTC = UT1 - DUT1 | TT = UT1 + 32.184 s + LS - DUT1 | TAI = UT1 - DUT1 + LS | GPS = UT1 - DUT1 + LS - 19 s |
| UTC | Civil Time | UT1 = UTC + DUT1 | UTC | TT = UTC + 32.184 s + LS | TAI = UTC + LS | GPS = UTC + LS - 19 s |
| TT | Terrestrial (Ephemeris) Time | UT1 = TT - 32.184 s - LS + DUT1 | UTC = TT - 32.184 s - LS | TT | TAI = TT - 32.184 s | GPS = TT - 51.184 s |
| TAI | Atomic Time | UT1 = TAI + DUT1 - LS | UTC = TAI - LS | TT = TAI + 32.184 s | TAI | GPS = TAI - 19 s |
| GPS | GPS Time | UT1 = GPS + DUT1 - LS + 19 s | UTC = GPS - LS + 19 s | TT = GPS + 51.184 s | TAI = GPS + 19 s | GPS |

Sidereal time[link]
Sidereal time is the measurement of time relative to a distant star (instead of solar time that is relative to the sun). It is used in astronomy to predict when a star will be overhead. Due to the orbit of the earth around the sun a sidereal day is 4 minutes (1/366th) less than a solar day.
Chronology[link]
Main article: Chronology
Another form of time measurement consists of studying the past. Events in the past can be ordered in a sequence (creating a chronology), and can be put into chronological groups (periodization). One of the most important systems of periodization is geologic time, which is a system of periodizing the events that shaped the Earth and its life. Chronology, periodization, and interpretation of the past are together known as the study of history.

Linear and cyclical time[link]
See also: Time Cycles and Wheel of time
Ancient cultures such as Incan, Mayan, Hopi, and other Native American Tribes, plus the Babylonians, Ancient Greeks, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and others have a concept of a wheel of time, that regards time as cyclical and quantic consisting of repeating ages that happen to every being of the Universe between birth and extinction.
In general, the Judaeo-Christian concept, based on the Bible, is that time is linear, beginning with the act of creation by God. The general Christian view is that time will end with the end of the world. Others suggest[who?] that time is like a ray, having a beginning but going on forever into the future.
In the Old Testament book Ecclesiastes, traditionally ascribed to Solomon (970–928 BC), time (as the Hebrew word עדן, זמן `iddan(time) zĕman(season) is often translated) was traditionally regarded as a medium for the passage of predestined events. (Another word, زمان" זמן" zman, was current as meaning time fit for an event, and is used as the modern Arabic and Hebrew equivalent to the English word "time".)
There is an appointed time (zman) for everything. And there is a time (’êth) for every event under heaven–
A time (’êth) to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace. – Ecclesiastes 3:1–8
Time in Greek mythology[link]
The Greek language denotes two distinct principles, Chronos and Kairos. The former refers to numeric, or chronological, time. The latter, literally "the right or opportune moment", relates specifically to metaphysical or Divine time. In theology, Kairos is qualitative, as opposed to quantitative.
In Greek mythology, Chronos (Ancient Greek: Χρόνος) is identified as the Personification of Time. His name in Greek means "time" and is alternatively spelled Chronus (Latin spelling) or Khronos. Chronos is usually portrayed as an old, wise man with a long, gray beard, such as "Father Time". Some English words whose etymological root is khronos/chronos include chronology, chronometer, chronic, anachronism, synchronize, and chronicle.
Philosophy[link]
Main articles: Philosophy of space and time and Temporal finitism
Two distinct viewpoints on time divide many prominent philosophers. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. Sir Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time.[8] An opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of actually existing dimension that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead an intellectual concept (together with space and number) that enables humans to sequence and compare events (such as, 'change of conditions within an ever-present')[32] This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz[9] and Immanuel Kant,[10][11] holds that space and time "do not exist in and of themselves, but ... are the product of the way we represent things", because we can know objects only as they appear to us.
The Vedas, the earliest texts on Indian philosophy and Hindu philosophy dating back to the late 2nd millennium BC, describe ancient Hindu cosmology, in which the universe goes through repeated cycles of creation, destruction and rebirth, with each cycle lasting 4320 million years.[33] Ancient Greek philosophers, including Parmenides and Heraclitus, wrote essays on the nature of time.[34] Plato, in the Timaeus, identified time with the period of motion of the heavenly bodies. Aristotle, in Book IV of his Physica defined time as the number of change with respect to before and after.
In Book 11 of his Confessions, St. Augustine of Hippo ruminates on the nature of time, asking, "What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not." He begins to define time by what it is not rather than what it is,[35] an approach similar to that taken in other negative definitions. However, Augustine ends up calling time a “distention” of the mind (Confessions 11.26) by which we simultaneously grasp the past in memory, the present by attention, and the future by expectation.
In contrast to ancient Greek philosophers who believed that the universe had an infinite past with no beginning, medieval philosophers and theologians developed the concept of the universe having a finite past with a beginning. This view is shared by Abrahamic faiths as they believe time started by creation, therefore the only thing being infinite is God and everything else, including time, is finite.
Isaac Newton believed in absolute space and absolute time; Leibniz believed that time and space are relational.[36] The differences between Leibniz's and Newton's interpretations came to a head in the famous Leibniz-Clarke Correspondence.
Time is not an empirical concept. For neither co-existence nor succession would be perceived by us, if the representation of time did not exist as a foundation a priori. Without this presupposition we could not represent to ourselves that things exist together at one and the same time, or at different times, that is, contemporaneously, or in succession.
“
”
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason (1781), trans. Vasilis Politis (London: Dent., 1991), p.54.
Immanuel Kant, in the Critique of Pure Reason, described time as an a priori intuition that allows us (together with the other a priori intuition, space) to comprehend sense experience.[37] With Kant, neither space nor time are conceived as substances, but rather both are elements of a systematic mental framework that necessarily structures the experiences of any rational agent, or observing subject. Kant thought of time as a fundamental part of an abstract conceptual framework, together with space and number, within which we sequence events, quantify their duration, and compare the motions of objects. In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows," that objects "move through," or that is a "container" for events. Spatial measurements are used to quantify the extent of and distances between objects, and temporal measurements are used to quantify the durations of and between events. (See Ontology).
Henri Bergson believed that time was neither a real homogeneous medium nor a mental construct, but possesses what he referred to as Duration. Duration, in Bergson's view, was creativity and memory as an essential component of reality.[38]
According to Martin Heidegger we do not exist inside time, "we are time". Hence, the relationship to the past is a present awareness of "having been", which allows the past to exist in the present. The relationship to the future is the state of anticipating a potential possibility, task, or engagement. It is related to the human propensity for caring and being concerned, which causes "being ahead of oneself" when thinking of a pending occurrence. Therefore, this concern for a potential occurrence also allows the future to exist in the present. The present becomes an experience, which is qualitative instead of quantitative. Heidegger seems to think this is the way that a linear relationship with time, or temporal existence, is broken or transcended.[39] We are not stuck in sequential time. We are able to remember the past and project into the future - we have a kind of random access to our representation of temporal existence --- we can, in our thoughts, step out of (ecstasis) sequential time.[40]
Time as "unreal"[link]
In 5th century BC Greece, Antiphon the Sophist, in a fragment preserved from his chief work On Truth, held that: "Time is not a reality (hypostasis), but a concept (noêma) or a measure (metron)." Parmenides went further, maintaining that time, motion, and change were illusions, leading to the paradoxes of his follower Zeno.[41] Time as an illusion is also a common theme in Buddhist thought.[42][43]
J. M. E. McTaggart's 1908 The Unreality of Time argues that, since every event has the characteristic of being both present and not present (i.e. future or past), that time is a self-contradictory idea (see also The flow of time).
These arguments often center around what it means for something to be "unreal". Modern physicists generally consider time to be as "real" as space, though others such as Julian Barbour in his book The End of Time, argue that quantum equations of the universe take their true form when expressed in the timeless configuration spacerealm containing every possible "Now" or momentary configuration of the universe, which he terms 'platonia'.[44] (See also: Eternalism (philosophy of time).)

Main article: Time in physics
From the age of Newton to Einstein's profound reinterpretation of the physical concepts associated with time and space, time was considered to be "absolute" and to flow "equably" (to use the words of Newton) for all observers.[45] Non-relativistic classical mechanics is based on this Newtonian idea of time.
Einstein, in his special theory of relativity,[46] postulated the constancy and finiteness of the speed of light for all observers. He showed that this postulate, together with a reasonable definition for what it means for two events to be simultaneous, requires that distances appear compressed and time intervals appear lengthened for events associated with objects in motion relative to an inertial observer.
The theory of special relativity finds a convenient formulation in Minkowski spacetime, a mathematical structure that combines three dimensions of space with a single dimension of time. In this formalism, distances in space can be measured by how long light takes to travel that distance, e.g. a light-year is a measure of distance, and a meter is now defined in terms of how far light travels in a certain amount of time. Two events in Minkowski spacetime are separated by an invariant interval, which can be either space-like, light-like, or time-like. Events that are time-like cannot be simultaneous in any frame of reference, there must be a temporal component (and possibly a spatial one) to their separation. Events that are space-like could be simultaneous in some frame of reference, and there is no frame of reference in which they do not have a spatial separation. People travelling at different velocities between two events will measure different spatial and temporal separations between the events, but the invariant interval is constant and independent of velocity.
Classical mechanics[link]
In non-relativistic classical mechanics, Newton's concept of "relative, apparent, and common time" can be used in the formulation of a prescription for the synchronization of clocks. Events seen by two different observers in motion relative to each other produce a mathematical concept of time that works sufficiently well for describing the everyday phenomena of most people's experience. In the late nineteenth century, physicists encountered problems with the classical understanding of time, in connection with the behaviour of electricity and magnetism. Einstein resolved these problems by invoking a method of synchronizing clocks using the constant, finite speed of light as the maximum signal velocity. This led directly to the result that observers in motion relative to one another will measure different elapsed times for the same event.
Spacetime[link]
Main article: Spacetime
Time has historically been closely related with space, the two together comprising spacetime in Einstein's special relativity and general relativity. According to these theories, the concept of time depends on the spatial reference frame of the observer, and the human perception as well as the measurement by instruments such as clocks are different for observers in relative motion. The past is the set of events that can send light signals to the observer; the future is the set of events to which the observer can send light signals.
Time dilation[link]
Main article: Time dilation
Einstein showed in his thought experiments that people travelling at different speeds, while agreeing on cause and effect, will measure different time separations between events and can even observe different chronological orderings between non-causally related events. Though these effects are typically minute in the human experience, the effect becomes much more pronounced for objects moving at speeds approaching the speed of light. Many subatomic particles exist for only a fixed fraction of a second in a lab relatively at rest, but some that travel close to the speed of light can be measured to travel further and survive much longer than expected (a muon is one example). According to the special theory of relativity, in the high-speed particle's frame of reference, it exists, on the average, for a standard amount of time known as its mean lifetime, and the distance it travels in that time is zero, because its velocity is zero. Relative to a frame of reference at rest, time seems to "slow down" for the particle. Relative to the high-speed particle, distances seem to shorten. Even in Newtonian terms time may be considered the fourth dimension of motion[citation needed]; but Einstein showed how both temporal and spatial dimensions can be altered (or "warped") by high-speed motion.
Einstein (The Meaning of Relativity): "Two events taking place at the points A and B of a system K are simultaneous if they appear at the same instant when observed from the middle point, M, of the interval AB. Time is then defined as the ensemble of the indications of similar clocks, at rest relatively to K, which register the same simultaneously."
Einstein wrote in his book, Relativity, that simultaneity is also relative, i.e., two events that appear simultaneous to an observer in a particular inertial reference frame need not be judged as simultaneous by a second observer in a different inertial frame of reference.
Relativistic time versus Newtonian time[link]
Views of spacetime along the world line of a rapidly accelerating observer in a relativistic universe. The events ("dots") that pass the two diagonal lines in the bottom half of the image (the past light cone of the observer in the origin) are the events visible to the observer.
The animations visualise the different treatments of time in the Newtonian and the relativistic descriptions. At the heart of these differences are the Galilean and Lorentz transformations applicable in the Newtonian and relativistic theories, respectively.
In the figures, the vertical direction indicates time. The horizontal direction indicates distance (only one spatial dimension is taken into account), and the thick dashed curve is the spacetime trajectory ("world line") of the observer. The small dots indicate specific (past and future) events in spacetime.
The slope of the world line (deviation from being vertical) gives the relative velocity to the observer. Note how in both pictures the view of spacetime changes when the observer accelerates.
In the Newtonian description these changes are such that time is absolute: the movements of the observer do not influence whether an event occurs in the 'now' (i.e. whether an event passes the horizontal line through the observer).
However, in the relativistic description the observability of events is absolute: the movements of the observer do not influence whether an event passes the "light cone" of the observer. Notice that with the change from a Newtonian to a relativistic description, the concept of absolute time is no longer applicable: events move up-and-down in the figure depending on the acceleration of the observer.
Arrow of time[link]
Main article: Arrow of time
Time appears to have a direction – the past lies behind, fixed and immutable, while the future lies ahead and is not necessarily fixed. Yet for the most part the laws of physics do not specify an arrow of time, and allow any process to proceed both forward and in reverse. This is generally a consequence of time being modeled by a parameter in the system being analyzed, where there is no "proper time": the direction of the arrow of time is sometimes arbitrary. Examples of this include the Second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase over time (see Entropy); the cosmological arrow of time, which points away from the Big Bang, CPT symmetry, and the radiative arrow of time, caused by light only traveling forwards in time (see light cone). In particle physics, the violation of CP symmetry implies that there should be a small counterbalancing time asymmetry to preserve CPT symmetry as stated above. The standard description of measurement in quantum mechanics is also time asymmetric (see Measurement in quantum mechanics).
Quantised time[link]
See also: Chronon
Time quantization is a hypothetical concept. In the modern established physical theories (the Standard Model of Particles and Interactions and General Relativity) time is not quantized.
Planck time (~ 5.4 × 10−44 seconds) is the unit of time in the system of natural units known as Planck units. Current established physical theories are believed to fail at this time scale, and many physicists expect that the Planck time might be the smallest unit of time that could ever be measured, even in principle. Tentative physical theories that describe this time scale exist; see for instance loop quantum gravity.
Time and the Big Bang[link]
Stephen Hawking in particular has addressed a connection between time and the Big Bang. In A Brief History of Time and elsewhere, Hawking says that even if time did not begin with the Big Bang and there were another time frame before the Big Bang, no information from events then would be accessible to us, and nothing that happened then would have any effect upon the present time-frame.[47] Upon occasion, Hawking has stated that time actually began with the Big Bang, and that questions about what happened before the Big Bang are meaningless.[48][49][50] This less-nuanced, but commonly repeated formulation has received criticisms from philosophers such as Aristotelian philosopher Mortimer J. Adler.[51][52]
Scientists have come to some agreement on descriptions of events that happened 10−35 seconds after the Big Bang, but generally agree that descriptions about what happened before one Planck time (5 × 10−44 seconds) after the Big Bang are likely to remain pure speculation.
Speculative physics beyond the Big Bang[link]
While the Big Bang model is well established in cosmology, it is likely to be refined in the future. Little is known about the earliest moments of the universe's history. The Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems require the existence of a singularity at the beginning of cosmic time. However, these theorems assume that general relativity is correct, but general relativity must break down before the universe reaches the Planck temperature, and a correct treatment of quantum gravity may avoid the singularity.[53]
There may also be parts of the universe well beyond what can be observed in principle. If inflation occurred this is likely, for exponential expansion would push large regions of space beyond our observable horizon.
Some proposals, each of which entails untested hypotheses, are:
- models including the Hartle–Hawking boundary condition in which the whole of space-time is finite; the Big Bang does represent the limit of time, but without the need for a singularity.[54]
- brane cosmology models[55] in which inflation is due to the movement of branes in string theory; the pre-big bang model; the ekpyrotic model, in which the Big Bang is the result of a collision between branes; and the cyclic model, a variant of the ekpyrotic model in which collisions occur periodically.[56][57][58]
- chaotic inflation, in which inflation events start here and there in a random quantum-gravity foam, each leading to a bubble universe expanding from its own big bang.[59]
Proposals in the last two categories see the Big Bang as an event in a much larger and older universe, or multiverse, and not the literal beginning.
Time travel[link]
Main article: Time travel
See also: Time travel in fiction and Grandfather paradox
Time travel is the concept of moving backwards and/or forwards to different points in time, in a manner analogous to moving through space, and different from the normal "flow" of time to an earthbound observer. In this view, all points in time (including future times) "persist" in some way. Time travel has been a plot device in fiction since the 19th century. Traveling backwards in time has never been verified, presents many theoretic problems, and may be an impossibility.[60] Any technological device, whether fictional or hypothetical, that is used to achieve time travel is known as a time machine.
A central problem with time travel to the past is the violation of causality; should an effect precede its cause, it would give rise to the possibility of a temporal paradox. Some interpretations of time travel resolve this by accepting the possibility of travel between branch points, parallel realities, or universes.
Another solution to the problem of causality-based temporal paradoxes is that such paradoxes cannot arise simply because they have not arisen. As illustrated in numerous works of fiction, free will either ceases to exist in the past or the outcomes of such decisions are predetermined. As such, it would not be possible to enact the grandfather paradox because it is a historical fact that your grandfather was not killed before his child (your parent) was conceived. This view doesn't simply hold that history is an unchangeable constant, but that any change made by a hypothetical future time traveler would already have happened in his or her past, resulting in the reality that the traveler moves from. More elaboration on this view can be found in the Novikov self-consistency principle.
Judgement of time[link]
Main article: Time perception
The specious present refers to the time duration wherein one's perceptions are considered to be in the present. The experienced present is said to be ‘specious’ in that, unlike the objective present, it is an interval and not a durationless instant. The term specious present was first introduced by the psychologist E.R. Clay, and later developed by William James.[61]
Biopsychology[link]
The brain's judgement of time is known to be a highly distributed system, including at least the cerebral cortex, cerebellum and basal ganglia as its components. One particular component, the suprachiasmatic nuclei, is responsible for the circadian (or daily) rhythm, while other cell clusters appear to be capable of shorter-range (ultradian) timekeeping.
Psychoactive drugs can impair the judgement of time. Stimulants can lead both humans and rats to overestimate time intervals,[62][63] while depressants can have the opposite effect.[64] The level of activity in the brain of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine may be the reason for this.[65]
Mental chronometry is the use of response time in perceptual-motor tasks to infer the content, duration, and temporal sequencing of cognitive operations.
Alterations[link]
In addition to psychoactive drugs, judgements of time can be altered by temporal illusions (like the kappa effect[66] ), age,[67] and hypnosis.[68] The sense of time is impaired in some people with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease and attention deficit disorder.
Psychologists assert that time seems to go faster with age, but the literature on this age-related perception of time remains controversial.[69] As an example, one day to an eleven-year-old person would be approximately 1/4,000 of their life, while one day to a 55-year-old would be approximately 1/20,000 of their life. According to such an interpretation, a day would appear much longer to a young child than to an adult, even though the measure of time is the same.[original research?]
Use of time[link]
See also: Time management and Time discipline
In sociology and anthropology, time discipline is the general name given to social and economic rules, conventions, customs, and expectations governing the measurement of time, the social currency and awareness of time measurements, and people's expectations concerning the observance of these customs by others. Arlie Russell Hochschild and Norbert Elias have written on the use of time from a sociological perspective.
The use of time is an important issue in understanding human behaviour, education, and travel behaviour. Time use research is a developing field of study. The question concerns how time is allocated across a number of activities (such as time spent at home, at work, shopping, etc.). Time use changes with technology, as the television or the Internet created new opportunities to use time in different ways. However, some aspects of time use are relatively stable over long periods of time, such as the amount of time spent traveling to work, which despite major changes in transport, has been observed to be about 20–30 minutes one-way for a large number of cities over a long period.
Time management is the organization of tasks or events by first estimating how much time a task will take to be completed, when it must be completed, and then adjusting events that would interfere with its completion so that completion is reached in the appropriate amount of time. Calendars and day planners are common examples of time management tools.
A sequence of events, or series of events, is a sequence of items, facts, events, actions, changes, or procedural steps, arranged in time order (chronological order), often with causality relationships among the items.[70][71][72] Because of causality, cause precedes effect, or cause and effect may appear together in a single item, but effect never precedes cause. A sequence of events can be presented in text, tables, charts, or timelines. The description of the items or events may include a timestamp. A sequence of events that includes the time along with place or location information to describe a sequential path may be referred to as a world line.
Uses of a sequence of events include stories,[73] historical events (chronology), directions and steps in procedures,[74] and timetables for scheduling activities. A sequence of events may also be used to help describe processes in science, technology, and medicine. A sequence of events may be focused on past events (e.g., stories, history, chronology), on future events that need to be in a predetermined order (e.g., plans, schedules, procedures, timetables), or focused on the observation of past events with the expectation that the events will occur in the future (e.g., processes). The use of a sequence of events occurs in fields as diverse as machines (cam timer), documentaries (Seconds From Disaster), law (choice of law), computer simulation (discrete event simulation), and electric power transmission[75] (sequence of events recorder). A specific example of a sequence of events is the timeline of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

"The opposing view, normally referred to either as “Platonism with Respect to Time” or as “Absolutism with Respect to Time,” has been defended by Plato, Newton, and others. On this view, time is like an empty container into which events may be placed; but it is a container that exists independently of whether or not anything is placed in it."

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. http://www.iep.utm.edu/leib-met/#H7. Retrieved 2011-04-09. "First of all, Leibniz finds the idea that space and time might be substances or substance-like absurd (see, for example, "Correspondence with Clarke," Leibniz's Fourth Paper, §8ff). In short, an empty space would be a substance with no properties; it will be a substance that even God cannot modify or destroy.... That is, space and time are internal or intrinsic features of the complete concepts of things, not extrinsic.... Leibniz's view has two major implications. First, there is no absolute location in either space or time; location is always the situation of an object or event relative to other objects and events. Second, space and time are not in themselves real (that is, not substances). Space and time are, rather, ideal. Space and time are just metaphysically illegitimate ways of perceiving certain virtual relations between substances. They are phenomena or, strictly speaking, illusions (although they are illusions that are well-founded upon the internal properties of substances).... It is sometimes convenient to think of space and time as something "out there," over and above the entities and their relations to each other, but this convenience must not be confused with reality. Space is nothing but the order of co-existent objects; time nothing but the order of successive events. This is usually called a relational theory of space and time."

"What is correct in the Leibnizian view was its anti-metaphysical stance. Space and time do not exist in and of themselves, but in some sense are the product of the way we represent things. The[y] are ideal, though not in the sense in which Leibniz thought they are ideal (figments of the imagination). The ideality of space is its mind-dependence: it is only a condition of sensibility.... Kant concluded "absolute space is not an object of outer sensation; it is rather a fundamental concept which first of all makes possible all such outer sensation."...Much of the argumentation pertaining to space is applicable, mutatis mutandis, to time, so I will not rehearse the arguments. As space is the form of outer intuition, so time is the form of inner intuition.... Kant claimed that time is real, it is "the real form of inner intuition.""

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. http://www.iep.utm.edu/kantmeta/#H4. Retrieved 2011-04-09. "Time, Kant argues, is also necessary as a form or condition of our intuitions of objects. The idea of time itself cannot be gathered from experience because succession and simultaneity of objects, the phenomena that would indicate the passage of time, would be impossible to represent if we did not already possess the capacity to represent objects in time.... Another way to put the point is to say that the fact that the mind of the knower makes the a priori contribution does not mean that space and time or the categories are mere figments of the imagination. Kant is an empirical realist about the world we experience; we can know objects as they appear to us. He gives a robust defense of science and the study of the natural world from his argument about the mind's role in making nature. All discursive, rational beings must conceive of the physical world as spatially and temporally unified, he argues."

Tsui Hark (born 15 February 1950), born Tsui Man-kong, is a Hong Kong New Wave film director and producer. He is viewed as a major figure in the Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema (typically early 1980s to mid 1990s).
Contents |
Early life[link]
Tsui was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam, in a large Chinese immigrant family with sixteen siblings. By the age of 13, he and his family immigrated to Hong Kong. Tsui showed an early interest in show business and films; when he was 10, he and some friends rented an 8 mm camera to film a magic show they put on at school. He also drew comic books, an interest that would influence his cinematic style.
Tsui started his secondary education in Hong Kong in 1966. He proceeded to study film in Texas, first at Southern Methodist University and then at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in 1975. He claims to have told his parents he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps as a pharmacist, and that it was here he changed his given name to Hark ("overcoming").
After graduation, Tsui moved to New York City, where he worked on From Spikes to Spindles (1976), a noted documentary film by Christine Choy on the history of the city's Chinatown. He also worked as an editor for a Chinese newspaper, developed a community theatre group and worked in a Chinese cable TV station. He returned to Hong Kong in 1977.
Career[link]
New Wave period[link]
Upon turning to feature filmmaking, Tsui was quickly typed as a member of the "New Wave" of young, iconoclastic directors. His debut film, The Butterfly Murders (1979), was an eccentric and technically challenging blend of wuxia, murder mystery and science fiction / fantasy elements. His second film, We're Going to Eat You (1980), was an eccentric blend of cannibal horror, black comedy and martial arts.
Tsui's third film, Dangerous Encounter of the First Kind (1980), put him beyond the pale. The thriller about delinquent youths on a bombing spree was nihilistic, grisly and pregnant with angry political subtext. Heavily censored by the British colonial government, it was released in 1981 in a drastically altered version titled Dangerous Encounter – 1st Kind (or alternatively, Don't Play with Fire). Unsurprisingly, it was not a financial success. However, it helped to make Tsui a darling of film critics who had coined the New Wave label and were hopeful for a more aesthetically daring cinema, more engaged with the realities of contemporary Hong Kong.
Blockbuster cinema[link]
In 1981, Tsui joined Cinema City, a new production company founded by comedians Raymond Wong, Karl Maka and Dean Shek, that was instrumental in codifying the slick Hong Kong blockbuster films of the 1980s. Tsui played his part in the process with pictures like the 1981 crime farce All the Wrong Clues, his first hit, and Aces Go Places 3 (1984), part of the studio's long-running spy spoof series.
In 1983, Tsui directed the wuxia fantasy film Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain (1983) for the studio Golden Harvest. Tsui imported Hollywood technicians to help create special effects whose number and complexity were unprecedented in Chinese-language cinema and remains preoccupied with pushing back the boundaries of the industry's effects technology.
Many former champions were disappointed by this turn to crowd pleasing pop films and in some quarters he is regarded as a sellout and a prime example of Hong Kong film's inability to rise above vulgarity and commercialism.
Mogul[link]
In 1984, Tsui formed the production company Film Workshop along with his wife and occasional co-producer, Nansun Shi, making it a home base for a tirelessly prolific roster of directing and producing projects. Here, he also developed a reputation as a hands-on and even intrusive producer of other directors' work, fueled by public breaks with major filmmakers like John Woo and King Hu. His most longstanding and fruitful collaboration has probably been with Ching Siu-tung. As action choreographer and/or director on many Film Workshop productions, Ching made a major contribution to the well-known Tsui style.
Film Workshop releases became consistent box office hits in Hong Kong and around Asia, drawing audiences with their visual adventurousness, their broad commercial appeal, and hectic camerawork and pace. Tsui has the knack of trend-setting in film genres. He produced John Woo's A Better Tomorrow (1986), which launched a craze for the hardboiled mob film or "triad" movies, and Ching Siu-tung's A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), which did the same for period ghost fantasies. Zu Warriors and The Swordsman (1990) brought back the long-out-of-favor wuxia film.
In fact, Tsui's "movie brat" nostalgia is one of the main ingredients in his work. He often resurrects and revises classic films and genres: the murder mystery in The Butterfly Murders (1979); the Shanghai musical comedy in Shanghai Blues (1985). Peking Opera Blues (1986) plays with and pays tribute to the traditions of the Peking opera that his mother took him to see as a small boy and which had such a strong influence on Hong Kong action cinema. The Lovers (1994) adapts a retold, cross-dressing period romance, best known from Li Han-hsiang's 1963 opera film The Love Eterne. A Chinese Ghost Story remakes Li's supernatural romance The Enchanting Shadow (1959) as a special effects action movie.
The pattern is also seen in perhaps Tsui's most successful work to date, the Once Upon a Time in China film series (1991–97). Jet Li played the role of Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-hung in the first three films and the sixth, Once Upon a Time in China and America. This series is the clearest expression in his oeuvre of Tsui's Chinese nationalism and his passionate engagement with the upheavals of Chinese history, particularly in the face of Western power and influence.
Tsui also dabbled in acting, mostly for other directors. Notable roles include one-third of the comic relief trio in Corey Yuen's film Yes, Madam! (1985) and a villain in Patrick Tam's darkly comic crime story Final Victory (1987), written by Wong Kar-wai. He also made frequent cameo appearances in his own productions, such as a music judge in A Better Tomorrow and a phony FBI agent in Aces Go Places II.
In the face of an industry downturn in the '90s, he produced two expensive and unpopular movies that proved he could fold the caustic cynicism of his early work into his blockbuster formula. Green Snake (1993) was an erotic and darkly apocalyptic take on a favorite Chinese fairy tale. The Blade (1995) was a gory, deliberately rough-hewn and anti-heroic revision of the 1967 wuxia classic The One-Armed Swordsman.
American films[link]
In 1990, Tsui had already attempted a low-budget American action film, the barely released and little seen The Master, with a pre-superstardom Jet Li. In the mid-'90s, Tsui tried Hollywood again with two films starring Jean-Claude Van Damme: Double Team (1997) and Knock Off (1998). In 2002, Tsui released Black Mask 2: City of Masks, an American market sequel to Jet Li's 1996 film.
2000s[link]
Tsui returned to directing at home in 2000 after not having made a local film since 1996. Time and Tide (2000) and The Legend of Zu (2001) were action extravaganzas with lavish computer-generated imagery that gained cult admirers but no mass success.
Tsui continues to push technical boundaries and revise old favourites. Master Q 2001 was Hong Kong's first combination of live action and Pixar-style 3D computer animation. Era of Vampires (2002; U.S. title, "Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters") reworked a sub-genre popular in the '80s, hybrid martial arts / supernatural horror films featuring the "hopping corpses" of Chinese folk legend.
In 2005, Tsui launched the multimedia production Seven Swords, a film adaptation of Liang Yusheng's novels Saiwai Qixia Zhuan and Qijian Xia Tianshan. The film came with a television series counterpart (Seven Swordsmen), a comic book series, a cellphone game, clothing brand, and an online multi-player video game. The film was relatively successful, and in February 2006 Tsui announced plans to begin filming the second late in the year. As of 2008, Tsui continues to work on the script for Seven Swords 2 in between filming projects. In 2011 there has been no news nor plans about a Seven Swords 2. Rumors has it that due to lack of interest by the filmmakers of finishing the hexalogy lead the project into being cancelled.
In August 2008, Tsui provided art direction for the direct-to-video anime feature titled Kungfu Master (a.k.a. Wong Fei Hong vs Kungfu Panda), an apparent unofficial sequel to Kung Fu Panda, featuring Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-hung.[1] Also in 2008 was the thriller Missing starring Angelica Lee. His latest comedy film All About Women features wonky sound editing and comic graphics.
2010s[link]
Tsui's latest work in 2010 is Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, a rare but successful blend of wuxia, suspense-thriller, mystery, and comedy, which was in competition for the Golden Lion award and was also nominated and won numerous amount of other awards.
In 2010 he announced his first 3-D film, The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, which is a re-imagine of his 1992 film New Dragon Gate Inn starring Jet Li. In 2011 Huayi Brothers announced that Tsui will be making a prequel to Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, possibly in 3-D. Recently he has announced another children's film project titled Monster Wanted (possibly a working title.)[2]
In October 2011, Tsui received the Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award at the 16th Busan International Film Festival for his contributions to Hong Kong cinema. He is the fifth Chinese filmmaker to receive this award at Busan.[3]

During the pre-production phase of Seven Swords, Tsui announced that it would be a six part hexalogy.
When presenting his anime film The Warrior he said that he promises that he will make a film adaption of Journey to the West but does not know whether to make it in anime form or live-action form when the time is ripe. However, he feels that the technology is not yet mature enough for him to realise his ambition yet, and he needs to come up with the right script first.
After the release of Seven Swords he said he felt that the film was not big enough for his comeback and that he wants to make a film called The Remnants. Tsui explained that the film's plot would be about a team of archaeologists led by Donnie Yen gathering rare artifacts and treasures from around the globe and returning them to a museum.
Tsui also planned to shoot a film called Shaolin Fighter starring Jet Li and Li Bingbing during the second half of 2006 but the film was either halted or cancelled.
In a recent interview Tsui announced that he will be filming a new project titled The Taking of Tiger Mountain in November 2011. He is also currently developing the script to another Detective Dee film.

Alan Price (born 19 April 1942, Fatfield, Washington, County Durham) is an English musician, best known as the original keyboardist for the English band The Animals and for his subsequent solo work.[1]
Price is a self-taught musician and was educated at Jarrow Grammar School, South Tyneside and was a founding member of the Tyneside group The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, which was later renamed The Animals. His organ-playing on songs by The Animals, such as "House of the Rising Sun", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "Bring It On Home To Me" was a key element in the success of the group.[1]
After leaving the Animals, Price went on to have success on his own and with Georgie Fame. He introduced the songs of Randy Newman to a wider audience. Later he appeared on his own television show, as well as achieving success with film scores winning including critical acclaim for his musical contribution to the 1973 fim O Lucky Man! and wrote the score to the stage musical Andy Capp. In addition he has appeared in the acting credits[1] for films and television productions.[2][3]

Career[link]
Price formed The Animals in 1962 and left the band in 1965 to form The Alan Price Set, with the line-up of Price, Clive Burrows (baritone saxophone), Steve Gregory (tenor saxophone), John Walters (trumpet), Peter Kirtley (guitar), Rod "Boots" Slade (bass) and "Little" Roy Mills (drums). In the same year, he appeared in the film Dont Look Back, which was filmed featuring Bob Dylan on tour in the UK.[2]
During 1966, he enjoyed singles success with "I Put A Spell On You" which reached #9 in the UK singles charts, "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo" which reached #11 in the UK singles charts. In 1967, the Randy Newman song "Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Bear" which reached #4 in the UK singles charts and his self penned song "The House That Jack Built" which reached #4. "Don't Stop The Carnival" followed in 1968 and rose to #13 in the UK singles charts.[4]
Price went on to host shows such as the musical Price To Play in the late 1960s, which featured Price performing and introducing the music of guests such as Fleetwood Mac and Jimi Hendrix. His second album, A Price On His Head (1967) featured seven songs by Randy Newman, who was virtually unknown at that time. In August 1967, he appeared with The Animals at the Hippie "Love-in", in the grounds of Woburn Abbey.
A later association with Georgie Fame resulted in "Rosetta", which became a Top 20 hit (1971), reaching #11 in the UK Singles Chart.[4] An album followed, Fame and Price, Price and Fame Together. During this period Price and Fame secured a regular slot on The Two Ronnies show produced by BBC Television also appearing on the Morecambe and Wise Show.[2] He recorded the autobiographical album Between Today and Yesterday (1974) from which the single "Jarrow Song" was taken, returning Price to the UK singles chart at number 6.[4]
Price participated in three reunions of The Animals between 1968 and 1984. In July 1983, The Animals started their last world tour. Price's solo performance of "O Lucky Man" was included in their set. In 1984, they broke up for the final time and the album Rip It To Shreds — Greatest Hits Live was released, comprising recordings from their concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
Price recorded two albums with The Electric Blues Company featuring guitarist and vocalist Bobby Tench and keyboardist Zoot Money, the first Covers was recorded in 1994. A Gigster's Life for Me followed in 1996[5] and was recorded as part of Sanctuary's Blues Masters Series.
Price still tours the UK with his own band and others including The Manfreds, Maggie Bell[6] and Bobby Tench.[7]
Film, stage and TV[link]
Price has been closely involved with the work of film director Lindsay Anderson. In 1973 he wrote the music for Anderson's film O Lucky Man!, which he performs on screen in the film and appears as himself in one part of the storyline. In 1987, he wrote the score to Anderson's final film, The Whales of August.
He acted in Alfie Darling, a sequel to the film Alfie, during the course of which he became romantically involved with his co-star, Jill Townsend. He also composed and sang the theme tune to the 1982 film adaptation of The Plague Dogs, "Time and Tide".[2]
In 1981 he composed the score for the musical Andy Capp, based on the eponymous comic strip. Price also wrote the lyrics, together with the actor Trevor Peacock. The play transferred from the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester to London's Aldwych Theatre in September 1982.[8] Price later provided the theme to Thames Television's 1988 sitcom adaptation of Andy Capp in the form of a rewritten "Jarrow Song". Other TV theme work includes a re-recorded version of his 1974 single "Papers", which was used as the theme tune to the successful LWT situation comedy Hot Metal.[9]
In 1992 Anderson included a touching episode in his autobiographical BBC film Is That All There Is?, with a boat trip down the River Thames to scatter Rachel Roberts & Jill Bennett's ashes on the waters while Price accompanied himself and sang the song "Is That All There Is?".
