Time is Fire

Liner Notes

Reading a book called The Algebra of Wealth at the moment by Scott Galloway and in one section he refers to time as the fire in which we burn and this struck me as very true.

Time is the only thing you have a defined budget of and you don't even know the size of the budget, just that you have one. Money you can piss away; and I have done a lot of that believe me, but time if squandered is gone for good.

Missed your kid's first day at school because you "had to work", tough, that's gone and it's not coming back.

Noone on their deathbed has ever said "I wish I had spent more time in the office"

As you get older this comes into even sharper relief, just start counting how many more Olympic games you can reasonably expect to see, sobering isn't it?

Anyway here is a little punk/new wave ditty that explores these things.

Lyrics

v1

Money is nothing
Time is everything
Waste it at your peril now
They’re not making any more

You have to live, live it now
Tomorrow may never come
Time is the fire
That’s burns us in the end

Pre

The clock's hands keep on turning
Yet I stand still,
Chasing shadows and dreams
That I never will.

Chorus

Time is fire in which we burn
Once it’s spent it’s not coming back
Miss those opportunities
The world will look just carbon black (2)

v2

The final times are coming
Gonna get you in the end
And procrastination
Will never be your friend

You have to live, live it now
Tomorrow may never come
Time is the fire
That’s burns us in the end

Pre

Time slip like sand
Through my weary hands,
Lost in the echoes
Of long forgotten plans

Chorus
