Time Was Once On My Side - The Stranglers

I was handed a second chance

From the gods of true romance

If I screwed up I would have to pay

With my soul each and everyday

Time was once on my side

Time was once on my side

Days went by in a whirl of confusion inside

Zeus spoke to Oden about my case

He said this man needs to reject the human race

He seems to thinks that he is above the law

There in lies his fable floor

Time was once on my side

Time was once on my side

Days went by in a whirl of confusion inside

I was told not to open the box but

They left me alone without changing the locks

(What could he do)

I just needed to know

Now I wish I was on a boat going real slow

Time was once on my side

Time was once on my side

Days went by in a whirl of confusion inside

You’ll have to pay ferry men one day

And when you do you’ll find yourself in summered lands

And you’ll be walking in Elysium
