Matter Of Time Lyrics - Ub40

Just a matter of time, till you run out of breath 

Money mountains you climb, never hedging your bets 

But your luck can run out, you'd better watch your step 

Just a matter of time 

Just a matter of days, till the factory's done 

When they shut down the lathes 'cause the work has all gone 

And nobody cares 'cause there's no-one 

It's just a matter of days 

I know what you mean and I suppose I agree 

I'm a bit pushed for time, please don't bother me 

Take you guidance elsewhere, 'cause I've heard it before 

In case is not very clear, I don't care anymore 

Just a matter of hours until you're forgotten 

Your pushing up flowers, and you're used to the rot 

So that was your life, didn't manage a lot 

Just a matter of hours
