Текст песни Time and Again - Noël Coward
"Life
is
what
you
make
it",
As
someone
once
observed.
A
phrase
that
sounds
a
trifle
glib.
But
whoever
thought
it
out
had
clearly
never
sorted
out
the
vexing
problem
of
adam's
spare
rib.
Chastity
I
take
it,
Is
specially
reserved
For
those
possessing
moral
fibers.
Mine
failed
me
all
the
time
and
maybe
that's
the
reason
I'm
a
bah-bah,
black
sheep,
Calling
all
subscribers.
Time
and
again,
And
tortured
with
compression,
And
swear
that
I'm
sorry
I've
sinned.
Then
when
I
think
I've
got
the
whole
thing
sewn
up,
I'm
must
own
up
Everything
that's
blown
up.
Freud
could
explain
My
curious
condition,
And
Jung
would
have
certainly
grinned.
When
I
meet
some
slidish
That
looks
like
my
dish,
I'm
sunk,
Drunk,
Gone
with
the
wind.
How
can
I
start
fresh,
When
the
sins
of
the
flesh
override
me?
Maybe
some
psychoanalyst
might
slap
my
wrist
And
give
a
twist
to
what
goes
on
inside
me.
If
I
could
fain
The
glandular
transition,
I'd
settle
for
taking
the
veil.
Time
and
again
I
try,
Time
and
again
I
fail.
Moral-less
disparage,
A
variable
heart,
And
say
that
it
should
be
fenced
in.
What
they
never
think
about
effective
means
of
casting
out
the
Dear
old
die-hard
Original
sin.
Harbor
boat
is
marriage
(?)
Free
love
is
all
our
count
(?)
And
once
you've
plussed
the
'bidden
fruits
off,
You
nearly
find
that
you've
unwittingly
set
out
to
prove
the
age-old
saying,
"Better
with
your
boots
off".
Time
and
again,
I've
tried
to
form
a
credo,
But
somehow
I
don't
seem
to
learn.
Just
when
I
think
my
guardian
angel's
winning,
I
go
spinning
back
to
the
beginning.
I
can't
refrain
From
firing
the
torpedo
A
bath
door,
a
head
or
a
stem.
If
a
hit
my
quarry,
I
can't
feel
sorry.
I'm
hooked,
Cooked,
Turn
to
a
turn.
Though
I
frequently
wish
I
could
my
curb
my
condition
reflexes,
I'll
be
damned
if
I
sacrifice
sugar
and
spice
To
be
precise
nothing
as
nice
as
sex
is.
I
can't
restrain
My
treacherous
libido
From
slipping
and
tipping
the
scale.
Time
and
again
I
try,
Time
and
again
I
fail.
