10 Cc - Old Mister Time Lyrics
He looked funnyThe children called him the scarecrowAn old raincoatAnd baggy trousers and sneakersHe found at the dumpOh, but if you bothered to lookThere was something behind the ragsOh there was a look in his eyesIt was something youd never forgetHe lived badlyA broken shack on the railwayAn old moggyThe only one who repliedWhen he talked to the wallsOh we didnt understandWe were fooled by the dirt on his faceOh we were human thenWe were searching behind his disgraceWhy dont you leave me aloneWhy dont you go to your homesWhy dont you keep to yourselvesIm tellin youWhy dont you leave me aloneYoure never gonna realiseWhen all you do is criticiseYoure never gonna make it workYou never seem to get enoughYou crumble when its getting roughYoure never gonna make it workIm tellin you therell come a dayYoure gonna blow yourselves awayIts wrong that I should interfereI just get in the wayWhy dont you leave me aloneWhy dont you go to your homesWhy dont you keep to yourselvesIm tellin youWhy dont you leave me aloneDeep into the nightHe was working by the lightOf the candle by his bedOn the theory in his headHe was building from the junkThat he rescued from the dumpAnd when he turned the power onThere was a sound and he was goneOh in the gray of the dawnWe discovered the thing he was working onOh we didnt understandThe future was old mister timeFuture was old mister timeFuture was old mister timeFuture was old mister timeOld mister time (mister time, mister time....)Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)
