Entry from When the Time Comes in Nur Ein VIII.

Use of the sound of gunfire

LyricsShow lyrics

Now my boy Leone he was sitting on the underground
Voice from up above sounds, "What are your plans now?"

He says to the voice: "I ain't got no choice
I got loans against my pay day and a baby on the way"

So I'm a work hard, bet some
Dog race, marry young

When the time comes
I know that mine'll get some

My girl named Kelly, with a baby in her belly
When the voice from up above say, "Girl you think you're ready"

"My dad won't let me dump it, and my boyfriend is a dumb shit
Never thought it would be like this, but I'll make it through despite it."

An I'll work hard, bet some
Play the slots, and marry young

When the time comes
I know that mine'll get some

Now my boy Tyrone, he was sitting there at home
When a voice from out behind says "Where you think you're going?"

My dad's a dumb shit and he ain't got any money
And my mother she takes care, but she think's it isn't fair

In a couple of years I'll be straight out of here
My girl, her name is Becky, and she saw it on the telly

Gonna move to an island, all the food there is the finest
All the waiters call you sir and it'll just be me and her

So I'm a work hard, bet some
Play lotto, and marry young

When the time comes
I know that mine'll get some

[repeat last chorus x3]

I wouldn’t want to start off a Nur Ein listening to anyone else. I like your music. This is one of my favorites from you. Tastefully restrained. The low keys with the high mandolin or Uke with your vocals in the middle was very smart. I’m totally with you until the falsetto near the end. It’s just not as strong as the rest of it. The Dire Staits response keyboard is cute, I did not expect that tone in this song. This is catchy! Good Job!

THe next lot were all entirely respectable and enjoyable. Some - (I'm looking at you especially Furry Pete) - I expect more from.

Pleasant and casual. I like the ding-dong melody on the chorus.
