Before Before Songtext
von Paul Heaton

They make the fifth round draw, before the third round draw
These people want more before
They want the second divorce before the first divorce
′Cause folk have to plan the cost

The new road must be completed
Before the old one's planned
If that just sounds pure upside down
That′s where the modern world stands

Before, before
Build a house, but start off with the door
Then fill all the windows in
Never mind the floor
The foundations of this country
Before, before

They want the one to 45 before the four to 45
They wanna keep the dream alive
They want the honey to arrive before the bee leaves hive
They don't know how we'll survive


The race for the Bougainville
Used to wait for green for go
Now all of them sat patient as a gnat
Waiting for the grape to grow

Before, before
Build a house, but start off with the door
Then fill all the windows in
Never mind the floor
The foundations of this country
Before, before

We′re sat here planning the funeral
For a sign of a sneeze or a cough
Any attempt to talk any sense
We have to tell the nurse to get off

What you doctors don′t understand
What you overlooks
We've already date this Friday
Funeral director′s booked


Before, before
Build a house, but start off with the door
Then fill all the windows in
Never mind the floor
The foundations of this country
Before, before
