Countdown Lyrics

Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start, it started slowly

And I thought it was my heart but then I realised

That this time it was for real there was no place to hide

I had to go out and feel, but there was time to kill

And so I, I walked my way around town I tried to love the world

Oh but the world just got me down and so I looked for you

In every street of every town I wanted to see your face

I wanna I wanna see you now

I wanna see you now

Oh and so it went

Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it

No oh it must be getting near now that you just don't know

Oh no you, you just don't understand how many people have seen you

In the arms of, of of some other man

I've got to meet you and find you and take you by the hand oh my God my God

You've got to understand that I was seventeen

I didn't I didn't know a thing at all

I've got no reason I've got no reason at all

Oh no The time of my life oh I think you came too soon

Yeah you came too soon then

Oh and it could it could be tonight if I ever leave this room

(I never leave this room no)

Oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down

Get down, oh

Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town

So I'm gonna leave this town

Goodbye O.K.

Yeah you can leave me

Oh you, you can go some other place

You can't forget it

Yeah you know, you know that's O.K.

'cos, 'cos I own this town

Yeah, yeah I brought it to its knees

Can you hear it crying? Can you?

Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"

I know it's coming so soon now oh, oh it's on it's way

Oh no oh no oh I can hear them say, they say I can't survive

They say I, I'll never leave the ground

They say it's all a lie and now and now it's coming down

Oh baby now

Time of my life oh I think you came too soonPulp - Countdown - http://motolyrics.com/pulp/countdown-lyrics.html

Oh The sky and stars and God will never ever laugh

Me and stars and moon are falling down.
