Alternative Version (Bill Nabb Vocal)
(White/Cop/Nabb)
Verse 1
I went to charge my batteries, at the local power store
They hooked me up to a big generator
Until I couldn’t take no more
Revitalised, a friend and I took off into the sun
We had no fear our intentions were clear
Stay forever young stay forever young
Verse 2
We met some Spitfire ladies, and got into a real dogfight
I fell in love with the one that I loved
This time I thought I’d got it right
But came the dawn she had gone she took all my energies
But she left a note, “You good rocker you dirty little Fokker”
There goes another part of me
Chorus
It’s always Time and Emotion that wear you away
It’s always Time and Emotion that wear you away
Everytime that you wake up there’s a little less everyday
I’m telling you Time and Emotion they wear you away
They wear you away
Solo
Verse 3
I cast my seed on stony ground and watched it wash away
Though I get up and I do it again it gets harder everyday
I’m on my knees my last coin is thrown in the wishing well
I pray that I’m going to heaven ‘cos I’m already in hell
Chorus x 3
