Old Mister Time |
| He looked funny |
| The children called him the scarecrow |
| An old raincoat |
| And baggy trousers and sneakers |
| He found at the dump |
| Oh, but if you bothered to look |
| There was something behind the rags |
| Oh there was a look in his eyes |
| It was something you’d never forget |
| He lived badly |
| A broken shack on the railway |
| An old moggy |
| The only one who replied |
| When he talked to the walls |
| Oh we didn’t understand |
| We were fooled by the dirt on his face |
| Oh we were human then |
| We were searching behind his disgrace |
| Why don’t you leave me alone |
| Why don’t you go to your homes |
| Why don’t you keep to yourselves |
| I’m tellin you |
| Why don’t you leave me alone |
| You’re never gonna realise |
| When all you do is criticise |
| You’re never gonna make it work |
| You never seem to get enough |
| You crumble when it’s getting rough |
| You’re never gonna make it work |
| I’m tellin' you there’ll come a day |
| You’re gonna blow yourselves away |
| It’s wrong that I should interfere |
| I just get in the way |
| Why don’t you leave me alone |
| Why don’t you go to your homes |
| Why don’t you keep to yourselves |
| I’m tellin you |
| Why don’t you leave me alone |
| Deep into the night |
| He was working by the light |
| Of the candle by his bed |
| On the theory in his head |
| He was building from the junk |
| That he rescued from the dump |
| And when he turned the power on |
| There was a sound and he was gone |
| Oh in the gray of the dawn |
| We discovered the thing he was working on |
| Oh we didn’t understand |
| The future was Old Mister Time |
| Future was Old Mister Time |
| Future was Old Mister Time |
| Future was Old Mister Time |
| Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time…) |
| Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time…) |
| Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time…) |
