Lyrics Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill

Time for a Change

Time for a change:

I felt bad, things looked strange.

Home, home on the range...

Yes, it's time for a change.

"Well, young man, when you grow up

What do you want to be?"

"Please, sir, if that's alright

I'd really rather like to learn how to be me."

Switch on the light,

Getting late, almost night.

A shilling puts you right,

You can switch off the night.

The world was looking stretched and tight,

It's an overblown balloon.

I've got the feeling something big

Has got to happen soon.

Oh, time for a change,

Out of reach, out of range.

Go and tell Doctor Strange

That it's time for a change.

Time for a change,

Time for a change.
