Four Minute Warning Lyrics by Mark Owen

In Your Own Time

2003

[Chorus]
Four minutes left to go, is this the end, then?
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do then?
A few short stories, a four minute warning

[Verse 1]
Sasha stands in his yellow café
Yes, the heart of the city is here, so he tells me
Sitting on his red leather sofa, he's rolling another
"Man, I'll see ya when I see ya"
Polly is said to be the next big thing
In her high-heeled boots and her two-inch earrings
Heart of glass, Blondie sings in her ear
You're a rock queen, honey, and we all hear you
Come on

[Chorus]
Three minutes left to go, is this the end, then?
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do, then?
A few short stories, a four minute warning

[Verse 2]
Lucy had a hard time with love
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy
Loving when you know it's the final time
She now holds time in her own mind
Yeah, Jimmy's is the local for Michael
A Guinness in one hand, in the other a fable, able
I once asked: "Are you a lonely man?"
His reply was non-committal: "I am what I am, man."

[Chorus]
Two minutes left to go, is this the end, then?
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do, then?
A few short stories, a four minute warning

[Bridge]
Cry, laugh, feel love, peace, panic
These are your four minutes
I'm counting you down, four minutes of sound
It's always a rush when you're around

[Verse 3]
The final story is one of me
Who with four minutes left has used up three
I think of you, I think of me
Then I think of nothing, it's the end, you see
Yeah

[Chorus]
One minute left to go, is this the end, then?
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do, then?
A few short stories, a four minute warning

[Chorus]
Thirty seconds left to go, is this the end, then?
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do, then?
What would you do, what would you do, yeah?

[Outro]
With a four minute warning, a four minute warning
I'm fading away, I'm fading away... if anybody wants to know
I'm fading away, I'm fading away... there's only seconds left to go
