You Set the Scene
Lyrics
Where are you walking, Iâ??ve seen you walking
Have you been there before?
Walk down your doorsteps, youâ??ll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
Thereâ??s a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
Thereâ??s a chicken in my nest and she wonâ??t
Lay until Iâ??ve given her my best
At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you want she brings you water
If you donâ??t then you will burn
You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what youâ??re put here for?
You think youâ??re happy and you are happy
Thatâ??s what youâ??re happy for
Thereâ??s a man who canâ??t decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns whoâ??ll screw you up
But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If youâ??re nice sheâ??ll bring me water
If youâ??re not then I will burn
This is the time and life that I am living
And Iâ??ll face each day with a smile
For the time that Iâ??ve been givenâ??s such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
There are places that I am going
This is the only thing that I am sure of
And thatâ??s all that lives is gonna die
And thereâ??ll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
Thereâ??ll be time for you to put yourself on
Everything Iâ??ve seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks itâ??s strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part youâ??re playing
I see your picture
Itâ??s in the same old frame
We meet again
You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if you take it easy
Iâ??m still teethinâ??
I wanna love you, but
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is the time and life that I am living
And Iâ??ll face each day with a smile
For the time that Iâ??ve been givenâ??s such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
Thereâ??ll be time for you to start all over
This is the time and this is the time and
It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
