Keating! movie - It's Time lyrics

Song by Company B<br /><br>

PAUL KEATING:<br>

I've made a habit of collecting clocks<br>

Sleek antiques with tickets and tocks<br>

Didn't you ever wonder why?<br>

I hear the seconds as a perfect space<br>

Pushed together in relentless pace<br>

The beat of a moment passing by<br>

And every face is like the moon to me<br>

Full of hope and opportunity<br>

Pulled in the orbit of its hands<br>

My tide is high and my chance is nigh<br>

I've got to take it and you know why<br>

Somewhere inside you, there's a man that understands<br>

<br>

It's time!<br>

Time, the revelator, destroyer and creator, no-one gets to wait on time!<br>

Time to start afresh, we know we're only flesh and bones and so it's precious time!<br>

It's time!<br>

<br>

The Opposition takes a different tack<br>

They wind it down and they turn it back<br>

They don't like to hear that sound<br>

But time is slipping past them every day<br>

Just like the picture of Dorian Gray<br>

And it's they who come unwound<br>

<br>

KEATING AND BOB HAWKE:<br>

For evolution needs time to move<br>

Just like a drummer beats time to grove<br>

And it can never stand still<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

The revolution of a second hand<br>

Is the solution that I must demand<br>

A change is gonna come now, you know it always will...<br>

<br>

KEATING AND HAWKE:<br>

In time!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

Time is of the essence, I know that it's unpleasant but no time like the present time!<br>

Time won't be denied and though you try to hide you know it's on my side...<br>

<br>

HAWKE:<br>

It's time!<br>

Time to make a break, it's time for you to take it, whip and out and shake it,<br>

<br>

KEATING and HAWKE:<br>

Time!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

Time and time again, you might have dug the venue, now you're on the menu, time!<br>

It's time!<br>

<br>
