FAST FORWARD

 

(Instrumental Intro)

 

Always in a hurry

On some wild pretext

That’s us in a hurry

Always in a hurry

To some new event

Why! … there’s no need to scurry

Make use of all the time that’s lent.

 

Pass quietly through the meadows

While on your course

Though the rolling heather, hills and gorse

Riding in a carriage

Behind a very handsome trotting horse.

A handsome trotting horse

 

It’s true, jet airliners

Quickly take us to their source

But we’ve passed over all the valleys

The hills and watercourse

 

Through life we play fast forward

Yes! we play it forward

And in a way, that’s quite perverse

All the while forgetting

In life …. No reverse

When did smart technology

Become the People’s nurse

Is it then our Saviour …. Our Saviour

Or something more perverse.

Playing forward now

 

Play it faster

But we play fast forward

Right to the very last.
