Lyrics:
It’s time to modernise. Now listen son you’ve got to
up your game, there’s a world of prying eyes.
Debt multiplies.Those winds of fortune never
blew my way, now I’m old before my time.
Oh Lord I’m nervous, the pressure here it starts
to freak me out.
It’s time to modernise. I’m with you through the
pleasure and the pain, pray the lord he will provide.
The clock ticks by. I really start to hope that
Jesus saves, now I’m focussed on the prize.
Oh Lord I’m nervous, the pressure here it starts
to freak me out. I long, to breathe.
It’s all before us, now listen son you’ve got to
make me proud. Go forth, and be, take flight.
Get a job, find a girl, hurry up, don’t be late.
Pressure’s on to belong, taken all I can take.
Get a job, find a girl, hurry up don’t be late.
Pressure’s on to be strong, must be first out the gate.
I really start to hope that Jesus saves.
There’s a world, there’s a world of prying eyes.
There’s a world, there’s a world of prying eyes.
Oh Lord I’m nervous, this discourse here it starts
to freak me out. I long, to breathe.
It’s all before us, so listen son you’ve got to
make me proud. Go forth, and be, take flight.

[@Waverathon]

Such a great song from THE british band of the past 20 years..

[@lyndababy]

Thanks Colin Furze for introducing this song to me. Awesome track 👏

[@m.i.c.h.o]

ditto

[@markedgood]

Thanks to colinfurze’s yt channel for playing this bodacious tune during one of his builds. Love the song. Love every song I’ve heard. This band is so dam good!!!

[@rossberliner2236]

Love this song! DIscovered them recently and have really been enjoying their creativity and excellent tunes.

[@v1sionary100]

I totally get the sentiment of the lyrics. I am 51 and was told by my parents you have to do the ‘right thing’ which was school, college, uni, sensible job, marriage, children, pension, mortgage etc Having lived my life and watching the world change I only tell my children do your best, survive and above all be happy, because for most of us in this stitched up world they are the only aspirations worth having.

[@andemoore5192]

Funny enough, same age and similar opinions ,Fucking Hell 1971 was a great year to be born 🤣🤣🤣

[@v1sionary100]

All the best people were born in 1971 😉

[@rb-photography]

Spot on !

[@marcscott4270]

I'd add to that, do not abdicate responsibility. That is where meaning is found.

[@jimholloway615]

I'm 63 next month... never did the right thing, thankfully it's too late to make any difference now, just sit back, relax, enjoy the show.

[@spenyman4771]

[@philpants44]

This makes me think of PiL and Placebo. Which are 2 of my favourite bands. So it's a win in my books

[@aidenashcroft3122]

Only recently discovered this band, Spotify introduced me to Lunatic about 2 years ago. Quickly listened to everything of theirs and saw them live yesterday. Fantastic band. Why aren't they bigger?

[@EmmaRoydsared]

Your fans of a long time, would expect nothing less than brilliant track 👍🙂 let's hope the upcoming album finally awakes the sleepers and makes 2023 the year of THESLOWREADERSCLUB. 👍🙂
