Lyrics Elvis Costello – It’s Time
Text:
The party’s over
Your time is up
You’ve had your last pointless teardrop
Washed down in that broken coffee cup
Did you get what you wanted?
Well I suppose that depends
Well I suppose that depends
Chorus:
If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It’s time, it’s time
It’s time, it’s time
It’s time, it’s time, it’s time
You must see it’s time that you went
You must see it’s time that you went
Our brief acquaintance was such a mistake
Now it seems more like a sentence
Or something you always had to fake
This magic moment concludes when they turn out the light
It’s not the days when you leave me
But all I fear are the nights
But all I fear are the nights
Chorus
You told the same joke to me too many times
I wish that someone would hit it
Just before you reach
Just before you reach
Just before you reach the punchline
The party’s over
It always seemed like a bad dream
One where I finally woke up
This magic moment concluding our mutual fate
But if you do have to leave me
Who will I have left to hate?
Who will I have left to hate?
Chorus
