The Cinema Clock Lyrics by Sinking Ships (UK)

The Cinema Clock and Other Stories

1980

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Stops for a short while
On a steep hill incline
He runs from time to time
Treading out a pace, a path
That will be so hard to follow
Back-breaking precision, breath-taking speed
If he tries his luck, he will succeed
[Chorus]
Watches set at Greenwich Time
The watch he keeps, he cannot sleep
Sees the ships out in the night
He hears their call, he sees their lights
This time
He’s out on his own for the first time
He’s out on his own 'til the next time
He’s out on his own
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Watches set at Greenwich Time
The watch he keeps, he cannot sleep
Sees the ships out in the night
He hears their call, he sees their lights
This time
He’s out on his own for the first time
He’s out on his own 'til the next time
He’s out on his own
He’s out on his own
He’s out on his own
He’s out on his own
