The Maccabees
Precious time - live at the itunes festival
Pound for pound and cheek to cheek
Cheek paler than the lamp-light
Take me down to light the box
And play Super Scalextrics
You turn to this darkness
Into light and you'll turn too bright
Forget all the hype
I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need
Toe to toe, nowhere to go
So, I'm tiptoein' around it
I held you down and I held my own
Now, I feel like I'm floating
So turn to this head on
And keep on
Keeping on
And I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time
So, let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Don't you know, nobody knows
If there's somebody awaitin'?
You hold yourself up and you hold yourself in
And pray that you're growing
And you turn to this darkness
You turn it into light and then you'll turn to fight
Forget all the hype
And I'll need heart and you'll need courage
We all need time
So, let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's make time work for us
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about it
Let's take our precious time about
'Cause we'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times
We'll need heart and we'll need courage
In these times
'Cause time can mean so much
Are you still mine?
