[Verse 1]
Time to leave this town
Now your dreams have all let you down
No one here will miss you now
Time to wake up and look around

[Chorus]
He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

[Verse 2]
Turn away and turn a head
Just a hopeless dreamer she said
Eyes of cloud and feet of lead
Find a shore that needs you instead

[Chorus]
He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

[Bridge]
Time on your hands
World at your feet
No adventure left incomplete
Da da da da da da da da...
[Verse 3]
Find a place where you can hide
From the love that holds you inside
Time's so unkind
Like an old friend leaves you behind

[Chorus]
He used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy, lovely boy
He used to be a lovely boy

[Outro]
Time on your hands...
