Lyrics Time Was Once on My Side (Live Giants Tour 2012) - The Stranglers

I was handed a second chance
From the gods of true romance
If i screwed up i would have to pay
With my soul each and everyday
Time was once on my side
Time was once on my side
Days went by in a wurl of confusion inside
Zeus spoke to oden about my case
He said this man needs to reject the human race
He seems to thinks that he is above the law
There in lies his fable floor
Time was once on my side
Time was once on my side
Days went by in a wurl of confusion inside
I was told not to open the box but,
They left me alone with out changing the locks
(What could he do)
I just needed to know
Now i wish i nwas on a boat going real slow
Time was once on my side
Time was once on my side
Days went by in a wurl of confusion inside
You′ll have to pay ferry men one day
And when you do you'll find you′re self in summerd lands
And you'll be walking in elysium
