Les paroles de la chanson
« Precious time »
The Maccabees

Pound for pound and cheek to cheek,
Cheek paler than a lamp light,
Take me down to light the box,
And play super Scalectrix,
And turn this,
Darkness,
Into light, and I’ll turn too bright,
Forget all the hype,
I’ll need heart and I’ll need courage,
We all need,

Toe to toe, there’s nowhere to go,
So I’m tiptoeing around it,
I held you down and I held my own,
And now I feel like I’m floating,
So turn to this,
Head on,
And keep on,
Keeping on,

You’ll need heart and you’ll need courage,
We all need time,
So let’s make time... work for us,
Let’s make time work for us, [x3]
Let’s take our precious time about it, [x4]


Don’t you know, well god only knows,
Is there somebody waiting’,
So you’ll hold yourself up and you’ll hold yourself in,
And then pray that you are growing,
And turn this,
Darkness,
Into light, and I’ll turn too bright,
Forget all the hype.

You’ll need heart and I’ll need courage,
We all need time,
Let’s make time work for us, [x3]
Let’s take our precious time about it, [x6]
Let’s take our precious time about.

You’ll need heart and you’ll need courage,
In these times,
You’ll need heart and you’ll need courage,
In these times,
’Cause time can mean so much,
Are you still mine’.
