TIME WILL TELL US (Mike Gibbins)
[from More Annoying Songs CD - recorded 2000 - released U.S. 2000]

So you wanna be a Rock 'N' Roll star
An' ride upon the crest of a wave
Joe mow 'em over with your little finger
Now watch me as I walk away

I don't expect you to understand
What it is to be in demand
Wha da ya see in a one-man band
I don't expect you to understand

Time will tell us who we are
Dear God, help us win this war

We let you into our Rock 'N' Roll band
We rocked it to you night 'n' day
We flew right over the White Cliffs of Dover
And landed in the U.S. of A.

[mouth harp solo]

I don't expect you to understand
What it is to be in demand
Wha da ya see in a one-man band
I wouldn't expect you to understand

Time will tell us who we are
Dear God, help us win this war

You wanna be the man on the stage
You think that you got somethin' to say
You rolled me over for a piece of my pie
I heard you swallow anyway
Now turn the page

[guitar solo]
Sha oo ahoo be...

[guitar solo - carries over verse]
I don't expect you to understand
What it is to be in demand
Wha da ya see in a one-man band
No one would expect you to understand

I don't expect you to understand
What it is to be in demand
Wha da ya see in a one-man band
I don't expect you to understand
I don't expect you to understand
I don't expect you to understand
