Pulp - Countdown lyrics

[single intro:] "Keep very still, for the strangest things are about to happen." Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start, it started slowly And I thought it was my heart but then I realised That this time it was for real there was no place to hide I had to go out and feel, but there was time to k** And so I, I walked my way around town I tried to love the world Oh but the world just got me down and so I looked for you In every street of every town I wanted to see your face I wanna I wanna see you now I wanna see you now Oh and so it went Oh so it went for several years I couldn't stand it No oh it must be getting near now that you just don't know Oh no you, you just don't understand how many people have seen you In the arms of, of of some other man I've got to meet you and find you and take you by the hand oh my God my God You've got to understand that I was seventeen I didn't I didn't know a thing at all I've got no reason I've got no reason at all Oh no The time of my life oh I think you came too soon Yeah you came too soon then Oh and it could it could be tonight if I ever leave this room (I never leave this room no) Oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down Get down, oh Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town So I'm gonna leave this town Goodbye O.K. Yeah you can leave me Oh you, you can go some other place You can't forget it Yeah you know, you know that's O.K. 'cos, 'cos I own this town Yeah, yeah I brought it to its knees Can you hear it crying? Can you? Can you hear it begging to me "Please?" I know it's coming so soon now oh, oh it's on it's way Oh no oh no oh I can hear them say, they say I can't survive They say I, I'll never leave the ground They say it's all a lie and now and now it's coming down Oh baby now Time of my life oh I think you came too soon Yeah you came too soon now Oh and it could oh it could be tonight if I ever leave this room (I never leave this room now) Oh oh oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down Get down, oh Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town So I'm gonna go gonna be there I'm gonna go Bub-bye It's O.K. You don't have to care Really Oh, oh really, I swear No, no you owe me nothing You owe nothing to me And if I messed it up baby Then, that's all up to me And if you go then, then I won't follow, no, no 'cos so many times I've been, I've been thinking maybe, oh maybe I should No, I, I'm gonna stay I, I'm gonna make my way Oh, I'm gonna get on through babe I'm gonna make it all some day Oh, time of my life no I think you came too soon You came too soon then Oh and it could it could be tonight if I ever leave this room (I never, I never leave this room, no) Oh oh oh I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down Get down, oh And the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town So I'll leave this town the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town Yeah I'm gonna leave this town Time is crying out tonight for me to leave this town So I'm gonna go yeah I'm gonna go Yeah Bub-bye I'm gonna leave this town You're not gonna have me around Oh The sky and stars and God will never ever laugh Me and stars and moon are falling down.
