LYRICS | NEVER HAVE TIME FOR ANYTHING

Never have time for anything
Sorry for being late
The train got delayed
Something about a signal defected person
Who jumped and caused a platform failure
I tell you it’s been affecting all my plans
And I’m already running late
Not just now, not just today
I needed to do so many other things as well
But you can never find the time to do anything
When you waste enough of the day on journeys

Never have time for anything –
Rushing up and down to only move so slowly
Never have time for anything –
And I didn’t get to see this film and there’s plenty more I want to see
Never have time for anything –
Rushing to and fro’ to only get there and go
Never have time for anything –
When 9 to 5 is almost everything

Never have time for anything
Sorry for being late again
The train got delayed again
I know it sounds like the best excuse
But it was something to do with a signal person
Causing a platform failure
If you only knew
How many other things I still need to do
How can you ever find the time to do anything
When you’re wasting half of the day on journeys

Never have time for anything –
Rushing up and down to only move so slowly
Never have time for anything –
And I didn’t get to see this film and there’s plenty more I want to see
Never have time for anything –
Rushing to and fro’ to only get there and go
Never have time for anything –
When 9 to 5 is almost everything

Distances are so big and the gap’s only growing...

I think we need 10 days a week
Or maybe 30 hours a day
Stretch the year a bit
Maybe add a few more months
Bank holidays every three weeks
Long weekends that’s what we need
Maybe add a few more months
Just to finish projects on time
Maybe just one more month
So my birthday won’t take me by surprise

Never have time
Never have time

When you rush and run and forget
Half of the things you needed to take
When you rush and run and miss out
“Oh my god, I can’t believe it’s been already six months”
When you rush and run and abandon
Half of the things you could have done

When you never have time to sort things out
When you never have time to catch up
When you never have time just to relax
When you never have time to STOP

ALiEN ALRiGHT Modi'In Makabim Re'Ut, Israel

Landing in the UK for an unexpected stay of 7 years, 'Alien Alright' is like an 'outsider's indie-rock diary' of music recorded during that time.

It's organized by order and consists of 14 albums - all 100% DIY, home-made.

Some of the albums are more properly produced, some are recorded with just vocals over an acoustic guitar, and 2 are improvised live.

You’re welcome to explore and enjoy :) ... more
