1905 Songtext
von Shona Laing

I could light a cigarette and take the time
To find the words to write
But time costs time and I haven′t really got the time to spend today
So I'll gaze at that blue envelope
Wondering if I should send it away
But I haven′t really got the time to spend today

1905, you won your battle with life
The turn was mine, fifty years later
So it's no use crying
Time obviously didn't even want me
To start tryin′


I should take the time to start
To stop myself from using it the way I do
But in this day and age, reality can be a dream too
So I′ll spend my spare time and my taken time
Working out the truth
Yeah, I suppose I've got the time for you

1905, you won your battle with life
The turn was mine, fifty years later
So it′s no use crying
Time obviously didn't even want me
To start tryin′

I've invented a game that I can′t win
Oh, why did I ever begin?
I'm not a sore loser, but when I think of why I'm losing, I cry
Oh, time, time, time

1905, you won your battle with life
The turn was mine, fifty years later
So it′s no use crying
Time obviously didn′t even want me
To start tryin'
Time, time, time
