(Steve Wilkinson/ Andrew Gold)
When I was a young thing
I swore a Mustang
Would be my ticket
To the great unknown
Yeah I could see me
Hanging out with royalty
La dulce vida cruisin' Monaco
{But sittin' here}
Parked in your driveway
{You're cuddled up}
Right close beside me
{I gotta say}
That this old world
Just ain't thrillin' enough
It could never hold
A candle to love
Way back in grade school
I thought Jenny was so cool
We passed each other
Notes in study hall
She was my first kiss
My heart said this must be it
At 13 you think you know it all
{It's nothin' but}
Infatuation
{It didn't last}
Till graduation
{I gotta say}
Jenny Parker and a
School boy crush
Could never hold
A candle to love
Love true love knew all along
It would find us
It's such a sweet ride
Just close your eyes
And hold on tight
{But sittin' here}
With you tonight
{Just holdin' hands}
Under the moonlight
{One kiss and I}
I can't recall
What I was thinkin' of
But it could never
Hold a candle to love
No it could never hold
A candle to love
It could never hold
A candle to loveYou read in the papers that it's all a mess
That life isn't what it used to be
They say that we all have to get used to less, recession strikes society
[That it what can be done, and now that's the way thru all this] all the same
It's just a game
Chorus:
Time will tell if we are in trouble
Time will tell, won't you tell me what's new
Time will tell, I ain't gonna worry - nothing stops me from feelin' good
(Solo)
Endless discussions on the radio, about the way we have to go
The politicians tell us what to do, I think it's all a boring show, oh
[That it what can be done, and now that's the way thru all this] all the same
It's just a game
(chorus) - yeah
(Solo)
(chorus)
Time will tell if we are in trouble
Time will tell, won't you tell me what's new
Time will tell, are we in trouble? Time will tell, tell me what's new
Time will tell, are we in trouble?
Time will tell, won't you tell me what's new... (to fade)
