NoMeansNo - Now lyrics

rate me

Now if I had the courage

I'd pour in your jar

All the things that I have heard you whisper in the dark

And when that jar was heavy

Whith your honey confidence

I'd put it to my lips and drink its meaning and its sense

It has non end so let's pretend it's

Now

Let's get started

Now

Let's get started

NOW

Nothing could be plainer

Than the things that have been done

And there can be no mystery in what is yet to come

It's now that howls at nothing

It's now that runs and hides

It's now that winds its spineless coils and slitters out of sight

Your cries above the furrow

Draw my fingers like a plow

Through tattered ends that twist and bend about the Here and Now

The Here is blind and helpless

And strives against the dark

The Now's a well of shadows where the world has come apart

It has non end so let's pretend it's

Now

Let's get started

Now

Let's get started

NOW

There is precious little

That escapes the powers that be

The eyes that judge, the words that form our meager histories

But when your flood surrounds me

When the waters burst and come

Who knows the things that I have felt, who knows what I have done

And if I had the courage

I'd pur into your jar

Allt the things I have heard you whisper in the dark

And when the jar wwas heavy

With your honeyed confidence

I'd put it to my lips and drink its meaning and its sense

It has no end so let's pretend it's

Now

Let's get started

Now

Let's get started

NOW
