How ever much you try to control your life it will still throw up random, unexpected, life changing events that are not within your power to shape.

lyrics

High Time

Woke up on the open motorway
There’s a blood moon rising, all out afraid
I’d die with my favourite company
But not today

Take me to the river, eyes far away
I couldn't sink much further, at least not today
I'll die for my favourite company - but I walked away...

You know sometimes I had to hope the lord above was walking through the city!
and though I didn't know him well,
maybe it was high time?
Coz for me there ain't no rebirth
I'll live by what I have earned but..
...sometimes I've had to defer & pray

Went down to the jumping Underworld
We couldn’t get much further but we were undeterred
There’s time for my favourite company to live another day.

You know sometimes I had to hope the lord above was coursing through the city!
and though I didn't know him well
maybe it was high time?
Coz for me there ain't no rebirth,
I'll live by what I have earned but..
...sometimes I've had to defer & pray

I'll always try to atone
coz I won’t beat myself up looking back
Carry a burden alone
But there’s not always time to react!
Gotta tell me now

Coz for me there ain't no rebirth,
I'll live by what I have earned but..
...sometimes I've had to lay down & pray.
