lyrics

TIME’S UP

Em G C etc..
TIME’S UP / MY TIME’S DONE AND I’M SCARED TO LEAVE
FOR MOST CRIMS GETTING OUT IS A DREAM
BUT IT’S A NIGHTMARE FOR ME

WALK OUT THE GATE / WHAT WILL BE MY FATE
AIN’T NO ONE WAITING FOR ME
CRISIS CHEQUE IN MY POCKET/BOOB SHOES ON MY FEET
I’M STRESSING OUT IN A STRANGE TOWN / I’M FEELING SO MUCH HEAT

IT’S FUCKED UP HOW MANY TIMES I’VE DREAMT OF THIS
BUT NOW IN THE LIGHT OF DAY
NOTHING’S MET MY EXPECTATIONS / NOTHING’S GONE MY WAY

G D Am
CH: TIME’S UP STILL MUSTERING UP / BUT PAROLE WON’T LET ME GO
G D C
MY BAG IS PACKED/ I WON’T LOOK BACK /ON THE THINGS I USED TO KNOW
HAS THE WORLD CHANGED SINCE I BEEN IN THE CAGE/ IS SOCIETY READY FOR ME?
THE STAGE IS SET/ AM I STILL A THREAT / WILL I EVER LET MYSELF FREE?

2. OLD THREATS / SAME OLD DEBTS/ THEY KEEP ON CHASING ME
THE OUTSIDE WORLS / LOOKS LIKE A PEARL/ BUT IT’S JUST TOO DEEP TO REACH
OLD MATES / WHO LEFT ME AT THE GATES / AND NEVER CAME TO VISIT ME
WHEN I PICK UP THE PHONE / WILL THEY SPOT ME A LOAN/ ORGIVE ME THE 3RD DEGREE
GOOD FOOD GOOD WOMAN/GOOD TIMES GOOD LIVIN’ / IS WHAT I WANT FROM LIFE
THEY’RE THE TYPE OF THINGS I CAN’T GET NO MORE/ WITH A BALLY AND A KNIFE
SO I KNOW WHAT I WAN’T / I’M PUTTING IT BLUNT/ TIME TO GROW UP AND GET IT
WE GOTTA MAKE UP LOST TIME / ALL THE DRUGS, ALL THE CRIME / WE GOTTA FORGIVE AND FORGET IT

CH: TIMES UP ETC..

3. LONG DAY IN THE YARD / PLAYING HARD / THINKIN’ ‘BOUT THE TIME THEY TOOK ME AWAY
I PRAY WE’LL STILL PLAY RIGHT / CAN’T WAIT TO HOLD YOU AT NIGHT/DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY
A LONELY BOY IN THE BAY / SIT IN WAIT FOR THE DAY / THEY FINALLY SET ME FREE…
I’M TOO AT HOME IN HERE/ MY BIGGEST FEAR/I’M SURE WE’D BOTH AGREE
