Can’t Wait/Live Lyrics by Big Audio Dynamite II

The Globe

1991

(Mick Jones speaking)
It's called "Can't Wait"
Well they told me
It would be OK
Yeah they told me
Told me what to say
And they gave to me
Then they took away
Yeah they gave it to me
It was powdered cocaine
And I just can't wait
(Don't make me wait
Any longer
(Don't make me wait)
I've got to leave today
What you doin' to me?
You're messin' with my brain
What you doin' to me?
I'm stuck in Purple Rain
(Chorus)
[Spoken]
O God! methinks it were a happy life
To be no better than a homely swain;
To sit upon a hill, as I do now
To carve out dials quaintly, point by point
Thereby to see the minutes how they run
How many make the hour full complete;
How many hours bring about the day;
How many days will finish up the year;
How many years a mortal man may live
Please believe me
I was well on my way
Yeah believe me
We thought that we would play
(Chorus)
Don't fall for me
Don't wanna slip away
Don't ya' (?) me
Just before it slip away
(Chorus x2)
And I just can't wait
Any longer
I've got to leave today
(Mick Jones speaking)
Thank you
