Sign 'O' The Times/Prince cover/ (BBC Live Lounge,2012)
Oh yeah In france a skinny man Died of a big disease with a little name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle And soon she did the same At home there are seventeen-year-old boys And their idea of fun Is being in a gang called the disciples High on crack, totin' a machine gun
Time, time
Hurricane annie ripped the ceiling of a church And killed everyone inside U turn on the telly and every other story Is tellin' u somebody died Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it And we're sending people 2 the moon In september my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time Now he's doing horse, it's june
Times, times
It's silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants 2 fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies Oh why Time, time
Baby make a speech, star wars fly Neighbors just shine it on But if a night falls and a bomb falls Will anybody see the dawn Time, times
It's silly, no? When a rocket blows And everybody still wants 2 fly Some say a man ain't happy, truly Until a man truly dies Oh why, oh why, sign o the times
Time, time
Sign o the times mess with your mind Hurry before it's 2 late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby We'll call him nate... if it's a boy
