  • Listen up, what's the time?
    Said today I'm gonna speak my mind
    Take me up to the top of the world
    I wanna see my crime
    Day by day, there's a man in a suit
    Who's gonna make you pay
    For the thoughts that you think
    And the words they won't let you say

    One fine day, gonna leave you all behind
    It wouldn't be so bad if I had more time

    Sailing down a river alone
    I've been trying to find my way back home
    But I don't believe in magic, life is automatic
    But I don't mind being on my own
    No, I don't mind being on my own

    Listen up, what's the time?
    Said today I'm gonna speak my mind
    Take me up to the top of the world
    I wanna see my crime
    Day by day, there's a man in a suit
    Who's gonna make you pay
    For the thoughts that you think
    And the words they won't let you say

    One fine day, gonna leave you all behind
    Wouldn't be so bad if I had more time

    Sailing down a river alone
    I've been trying to find my way back home
    But I don't believe in magic, life is automatic
    But I don't mind being on my own
    No, I don't mind being on my own
    No, I don't mind being on my own
    I said that I don't mind being on my own

    Sailing down a river alone
    I've been trying to find my way back home
    But I don't believe in magic, 'cause life is automatic
    But I don't mind being on my own
    I said that I don't mind being on my own
    No, I don't mind being on my own
    I said that I don't mind being on my own
    No, I don't mind being on my own
    I said that I don't mind being on my own Writer/s: Noel Gallagher
