[Intro]

[Verse 1 - 1984]
They say "Enjoy yourself,
You can't do any better.
You've got to occupy your mind."
But any fool can see
So little time is left for me
(It's my spare time that's suffering)
Who knows what pleasure I can find?

[Hook]
Can't explain
The feelings that my heart contain
And my worries still remain
Can I take it?

Please reserve 
A space for me that I deserve
Got my standards to observe
I can make it!

[Bridge]
I don't know what problems I will find
They're bound to be of my design
I've got ambition
My cause is one of pride

(But persistent fear remains
As I board the early train)

[Chorus]
While I'm in possession...
Of time...
(Ooh Ooh Oohhhhhhhhhh)

(What a way to spend my time
Waiting for a better life
Keep me waiting for a while...)
(Ooh Ooh Oohhhhhhhhhh)

For all this time...
For all this time.

[Verse 2]
Don't let me tell you what this course can do
Well, it wears you down and it makes you blue
You clear a hurdle and another takes its place

The height increases nearly every time
So they trip you up and leave you blind
And then you wonder if you'll ever win the race

[Hook]
Can't explain
The feelings that my heart contain
And my worries still remain
Can I take it?

Please reserve 
A space for me that I deserve
Got my standards to observe
I can make it!

[Verse 3 Nozzie to Clio the Muse]
They say enjoy yourself you can't do any better
You've got to occupy your mind
But any fool can see 
there's no time left for you and me
(It's our spare time that's suffering)
Why should I leave that road behind?

[Verse 4 To The Critic/"The Red Yobbo"] 
Don't let me tell you what I think of you
You won't catch me now
'Cos you can't get through
You still believe you're gonna get to me this time

But there's suspicion everywhere I look
You can't fool me with a face like an open book
And anyone would think that learning is a crime!

[Hook]
Can't explain
The feelings that my heart contain
And my worries still remain
Can I take it?

Please reserve 
A space for me that I deserve
Got my standards to observe
I can make it!

[Bridge]
I don't know what problems I will find
They're bound to be of my design
I've got ambition
My cause is one of pride

(But persistent fear remains
As I board the early train)

[Epilogue/Outro - 2026]
It's all a means unto an end
You hope it turns out in the end
To be the right direction...
(Was it all too much, too soon?)

You never know quite what is right
You never want to waste your life
But you can turn back any time
(And simply change your tune...)

[Final Chorus - 2026]
While I'm in possession...
Of time...
(Ooh Ooh Oohhhhhhhhhh)

[1984] 
(What a way to spend my time
Waiting for a better life
Keep me waiting for a while...)

[2026]
For all this time...
For all this time.

[Instrumental outro, fading to total stop]

[End]
