Time’s Up (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1976 Contraband


We’ve been friends for a long term run, shared the goods and we shared the fun
But it’s true that nobody knows and no one can tell
Why in heaven do these moments come, who in heaven let these moments come
When the truth gets twisted and somebody’s ringin’ hell’s bell


We’ve seen some high times and it’s too bad one’s always sad
You got ten seconds baby and then I’m gone, gimme one reason for stayin’ home


Time’s up, I hope you make a million and have a lot of pretty children
But this is my song, gotta say “so long”


I’m always hopin’ for the best in life, I try to put it right between my lines
But somehow you been missin’ the clues and you got me feelin’ used


We’ve seen some high times, there’s more to come where they come from
You got ten seconds baby and then I’m gone, gimme one reason for hangin’ on


Time’s up, I hope you make a million and have a lot of pretty children
And this is my song, gotta say “so long”
Time’s up, I hope you get the picture
For your case there ain’t no cure and I’ll be free and you’ll be fine
Time’s up, I hope you make a million and have a lot of pretty children
But this is my song, gotta say “so long”
Time’s up, so long
Bye bye
Time’s up
