UB40 Matter of Time song lyrics

Just a matter of time, till you run out of breath

Money mountains you climb, never hedging your bets

But your luck can run out, you'd better watch your step

Just a matter of time

Just a matter of days, till the factory's done

When they shut down the lathes 'cause the work has all gone

And nobody cares 'cause there's no-one

It's just a matter of days

I know what you mean and I suppose I agree

I'm a bit pushed for time, please don't bother me

Take you guidance elsewhere, 'cause I've heard it before

In case is not very clear, I don't care anymore

Just a matter of hours until you're forgotten

Your pushing up flowers, and you're used to the rot

So that was your life, didn't manage a lot

Just a matter of hours

I know what you mean and I suppose I agree

I'm a bit pushed for time, please don't bother me

Take you guidance elsewhere, 'cause I've heard it before

In case is not very clear, I don't care anymore

I know... ...care anymore (repeat till end...)
