Three Minutes Lyrics by The Mutton Birds

Too Hard Basket

0

Off Saint Johns Head the sun is coming up
And in New York the dollar's starting to fall
In Jerusalem a soldier puts his rifle down
To scratch his lovers name on the wall

In London town they're clearing up the breakfast plates
In Atlantic City it's still dark before the dawn
All this happened in the last three minutes
Taken a flag and pinning it on the map
If it makes make you feel better
To tell me about these places you don't know

But in the next three minutes
Where you going to be
In the next three minutes
Here and now and you and me

All your opinions come from some ones press release
All of your jokes are out of magazines
If the tree falls in a forest
And there's no one there to hear
You're convinced that hidden cameras are on the scene

When you get like this I really wish you were somewhere else
In a street Cafe in a distant time zone
Where the bill is never mentioned
And you're the centre of attention
Sometime you might find you need some ideas of your own

Like in the next three minutes
Where you going to be?
In the next three minutes
Here and now and you and me

The first three minutes of your life is when you're most at risk
From the doctors knife, from your mothers kiss
But all the needles and the pills help you survive
But what's the point if you're still only have alive?

In the next three minutes
Where you going to be?
In the next three minutes
Here and now and you and me

The next three minutes
Where you going to be
In the next three minutes
Here and now and you and me

Where you going to be
In the next three minutes
