It's About Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gonna get my act together
I'm gonna start to take some care
I'm gonna give up the smoking
Give up the booze
I'm gonna wash my clothes
And wash my hair
I'm gonna start getting up in the morning
Instead of when it's getting dark
I'm getting tired of abusing my body
I'm gonna get some fresh air
Talk a walk in the park, because
It's about time, it's about time
I took a grip on my life
It's about time, it's about time
I'm on the edge of a knife
I don't wanna cut myself
I've had enough of the drugs and the women
I've had enough of being mobbed in the street
I've had enough of this constant high living
I've had enough of having nothing to eat
Well my mother says "Boy, what you doing?
Don't hink it's time you settled down?
You oughta sell that guitar
Buy yourself a car
Get a job in a nice big town"
It's about time, it's about time
I took a grip on my life
It's about time, it's about time
I'm on the edge of a knife
I don't wanna cut myself
Well sometimes I wonder
If it's all worthwile
I wonder why I do it
'Til I see you smile
I've had all the education
Had it up to my eyes
Now everybody that laughed
Is gonna get a surprise
It's about time, it's about time
I took a grip on my life
It's about time, it's about time
I'm on the edge of a knife
I don't wanna cut myself
