Jamie T - Sign of the Times lyrics
[Jamie T - Sign of the Times lyrics]
Post no bills, ill with chills
The pills, the cigarettes no, I won't kill
I will not defend a bloody rag
And where did all the friendships go?
Lost them all to suffragettes
And where did all the venues go?
Lost them all to businessmen
And we all know we're a sign of the times
But, I wish I'd been
A little more exceptional
And I wish I'd been a little unconventional
But, I was not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
No, I'm not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
"But by the next day everybody from
Miles around had heard about Sparky
And the kids back home no longer
Laughed at him in fact
They all wanted to be his friend
Because he was so famous"
"I can play anything
Anything at all and with no
Music all right, I'm sitting
On a piano stool
And my hands are on the keys
What do I do now?"
And Simon says
Everyone wants to know what's coming next
Feel like a kid underwater
Trying to hold my breath
And every day's another war
Another life I could have lived
In every way, I wanted more
I wanted more than Laura did
But we still know she's a sign of the times
But, I wish I'd been
A little more exceptional
And I wish I'd been a little unconventional
But, I was not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
No, I'm not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
The pills, the cigarettes no, I won't kill
I will not defend a bloody rag
And where did all the friendships go?
Lost them all to suffragettes
And where did all the venues go?
Lost them all to businessmen
And we all know we're a sign of the times
But, I wish I'd been
A little more exceptional
And I wish I'd been a little unconventional
But, I was not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
No, I'm not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
"But by the next day everybody from
Miles around had heard about Sparky
And the kids back home no longer
Laughed at him in fact
They all wanted to be his friend
Because he was so famous"
"I can play anything
Anything at all and with no
Music all right, I'm sitting
On a piano stool
And my hands are on the keys
What do I do now?"
And Simon says
Everyone wants to know what's coming next
Feel like a kid underwater
Trying to hold my breath
And every day's another war
Another life I could have lived
In every way, I wanted more
I wanted more than Laura did
But we still know she's a sign of the times
But, I wish I'd been
A little more exceptional
And I wish I'd been a little unconventional
But, I was not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
No, I'm not enough, no, I'm not enough
No, I'm not enough, I was never enough
