Cradle To The Grave Lyrics - Cradle To The Grave - Squeeze

They say time is of the essence 

They say time will always tell 

I wasted time in constant panic 

As the Rome around me fell 

And each moment that is stolen 

Gives another time to breathe 

In a life of turning pages 

With the bit between my teeth 

From the cradle to the grave 

I know I won't be a slave 

To the mistakes that I've made 

With the passion and the praise 

And I won't go till I'm ready 

From the cradle to the grave 

They say time is a great healer 

They say time will not stand still 

But when I look outside the window 

I see a sky stuck to a hill 

And the moon looks down benignly 

Like it's seen it all before 

For a thousand generations 

That don't live here anymore 

They say time will wait for no man 

They say time is on my side 

I can never make my mind up 

As it all goes whizzing by
