Friday at a quarter past twelve, setting out
God's truth without a shadow of doubt, you know I'm gonna be there
Even if I say so myself, it's well thought out
God's truth without a shadow of doubt, you know I'm gonna be there
But it never takes long for something to go wrong
Like the car won't start, or my train's delayed
Someone calls me up as I'm at the door and now I'll be late
Let you know at quarter to three, change of plan
I'll never make the time we agreed although I still intend to be there
Anyone who's ever known me, will understand
What a ringing telephone means, though I still intend to be there
Something always goes wrong, it goes on and on and on
Like the car broke down, or my train's delayed
Someone calls me up as I'm at the door and now I'll be late, because I'm always late
But I'm sick and tired of my sense of time, and if I've let you down let me apologize
It's a hand-me-down gene from my mothers side, it's the family trait I've kept alive
Ring your bell at quarter to eight, sorry mate
I know I'm nearly half a day late, but I really tried to get here
Whether it's for work or a date, it's my fate
Odds sake I'm nearly half a day late, and I really rushed to get here
But it always goes wrong, it goes on and on and on
Like my car's been stolen, or my train's delayed
Someone calls me up as I'm at the door and now I'll be late, because I'm always late
But I'm sick and tired of my sense of time, and if I've let you down let me apologize
It's a hand-me-down gene from my mothers side, it's the family trait I've kept alive
1,2,3 o'clock, 4 o'clock gone, 5,6,7 o'clock, 8 o'clock gone
9,10, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock gone, it goes on and on and on and on and on
