Pink Floyd Time – Don’t miss the Starting Gun
I have been on a road trip from Sydney to Birdsville about 1,900 kms. One of the albums I played whilst driving was Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. First time in ages. I was reminded of the powerful message in the song “Time”.
The words of this song are as relevant today as it was when the song was released over 50 years ago.
For example as a business owner, stop waiting for someone or something to show you the way and make sure you don’t miss the starting gun.
If you don’t have the “time” to listen to this the lyrics are below
Which bit resonates with you?
Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say
