When your time is up And you’ve given all you’ve got There’s always someone ready to take your place You’re nothing but a number in slate I thought this was it Time has a way of making you stick Or run from your guns Time makes a fool of young love Don’t let it go to your head There’s nothing worse if they never meant what they said So let us all fall to our knees There’s no reason to cause a scene When your days out number your weight You will find you were just A number in slate Though my hands were tied I never thought you would recognise My face in a crowd with all those people around I was taken by the fear of holy ground So take what’s left of the day Pack up your things and be on your way When every door slams into your face Well that’s just what they say Don’t let it go to your head There’s nothing worse if they never meant what they said So let us all fall to our knees There’s no reason to cause a scene When your days out number your weight You will find you were just A number in slate
