It's About Time
Fitzroy

Do you remember me laughing when you spit in my face
And then you wrecked your car as you drove it through my front gate
And now you're telling me I'm just a waste of time
And how you're better off without me, and you're gone.

Do you remember how you walked off? And it's about time
You turned around again and came back like everything's fine.
And now you're telling me im just a waste of time
And how you're better off without me and you're gone...gone.

IT'S ABOUT TIME / King Arthur

I know I said that I'd be early
I know you said that if I was late
You might not be here when I arrived;
If I couldn't call, you couldn't wait.
But I got caught up in a meeting
In a room without a clock
With a client so important
Nothing I could do but talk.

Sometimes... it's about the money
Sometimes... I know the fault is all mine
Sometimes... I just can't get it through my head
That it's about time...

You told me how important
This night was to you
But I can't just walk away
From things I've got to do
And even though I feel guilty
These are paths that I can't shape
Sometimes there are situations
I just can't escape.

(chorus)

I can feel my iPhone buzzin' in my pocket
The alarm that I set
So I wouldn't forget
All I can do is sit here feeling guilty
I can't get away -
I'm sorry, okay?

MR NAKAZAWA'S BOOK OF SURPRISES
(Niveous/DJ Ranger Den)

Took a drag of her cigarette.
Said she's been with kings and queens
Felt pleasure from the future
better than my wildest dreams
She had tasted of Adonis, shared secrets with some Kennedys
Bit Cleopatra before the snake ...
never ever did it for free

She's got a trick or two up her sleeve ...

CH
Claims to know the future then makes you believe
She'll take you on a ride, she'll go back in time
... when it's about time

Said she's travelled the world
sampling greatness and power.
They spend countless riches
just for the glory of an hour.
Leaders took her between the sheets,
Presidents begged to stay discrete.
taught rock stars the beat
aliens from 3013

She's got a trick or two up her sleeve

Claims to know the future then makes you believe
She'll take you on a ride when she goes back in time
... when it's about time

She's had writers, gangsters,
rode horses with Catherine
Trendsetters, prodigies
tried out original sin.
Well I don't know my future,
but I'll do something with my life
because I've paid my money
and she's staying the night

Claims to know the future then makes you believe
She'll take you on a ride when she goes back in time
... when it's about time

"It's About Time"
by Jon Eric

I pound on your door. It's freezing. You won't let me in.
I don't know what happened. I only had a little too much gin.
A rumble of thunder—rain starts to pour from your eaves.
I sit on your porch swing. I figure I'll sleep 'til it leaves.

It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
Time that I see
It's about you
It's about him
It's not about me
It's not about me

The next thing I know, the sun's up and hurting my eyes.
My whole body throbbing, I'm probably sober to drive.
I crawl up the stairs, collapse in this big bed alone
I lie awake, bloodshot, stare at your name in my phone

(chorus)

One day a moving van parked by your lawn
One day I showed up and found you were gone
One day I saw your new friend on the bus
You got a new life, but I'm still where I was...
Where I was...
Where I was...

(solo, chorus x2)
