Sign Of The Times - Jamie T

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
