SKYCLAD
"Quantity Time"
(Steve Ramsey / Skyclad)

Yet another sluggard hour stumbles past
It's no wonder life looks better through the bottom of a glass
These bitter litanies you keep repeating
Are verbal fingers down my mental blackboard screeching
Each moment in your company
Was of more quantity than quality
My hopes and dreams transparent phantoms
This Wayward Son's Irrational Anthems

Not worth spending quantity time
Life is hunger, life is pain
Never ending quantity time
Toe the line, take the strain
Awake in bed in quantity time
Hate to say I told you so
Long time dead in quantity time
Next stop Hell, not far to go

My vision is obscured, blurred by tears of anger
These four walls a prison where I rot in stagnant languor
My broken heart screams out "someone repair me
Or please lay me in the cemetery"
'Cause you've taken all that's best, you see
So I'll lay to rest the rest of me
You cannot hold a dream to ransom
Or silence my Irrational Anthem

Not worth spending quantity time
Life is hunger, life is pain
Never ending quantity time
Toe the line, take the strain
Awake in bed in quantity time
Hate to say I told you so
Long time dead in quantity time
Next stop Hell, not far to go
