lyrics

He spoke of a life spent living with
fast women in the slow lane
Dole queues, Dunhill Blues,
visitation rights every Sunday
Oh what a state! Twenty eight days straight
drinking bottom shelf bourbon in the can, luke warm
He was pissing in the wind with a skinful
Catatonic on the front lawn

This is my moment, and this is my time
You're living in

Too long counting odds out wrong,
cash strapped at the dog track.
Pinch gut he was destitute but
for the pipe and the baggy in his back pack
Somebody said there was a place up ahead
Where the store clerk slept on the job all night
He was shaking like a leaf in the wind when
They crashed in through the skylight

This is my moment, and this is my time
You're living in

Heart racing he made haste
But the first taste is never free
His eyes cast wide to find that
Easy money.
Clean homes, kit set kitchens,
Kids grown fat from white bread livin'
Concrete lined suburban gold mines
built to fit all the shit from the television

This is my moment and this is my time
You're living in

They found him in a couple of hours
He was sat alone at the bar
He said he did what he did for the kids
As they folded him into the car
Cuffed hands on the witness stand
The whole thing looked like the movies
"No remorse" the papers reported
All he said to the jury was

"This is my moment, and this is my time
You're living in"
