Your Time Starts Now - Van Der Graaf Generator

Your time starts now

Without a question

Without a clue

Your response will attest

To suggestion’s power, so strong

And growing stronger

With self-belief

You’ve pulled through but you belong here no longer

Fly by night, it’s over;

day by day it’s done

Was it simply oversight that’s left you overcome?

While you’ve been distracted —

Playfully, no doubt —

Your time’s been running out

Your time starts now

And that’s the poser

You’re going to need

All the help you can get

For the ride’s nearly over

All that information

All that warp and weft…

For all your patient fortitude you’re patently bereft

Of clue, of hint, of notion

Of answers, even vague

You’re ploughing forward nonetheless

As though by simple doggedness

The far side’ll see you saved

Your time starts now

And yes, you’d best begin it

However long

You’ve held back

You’ve demurred

Get on track, pace by pace

Just go on

Just go further…
