I watch you wait
At the bus stop with one eye
On your watch
You turn and say
To strangers there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
Breeze, breeze
But you sit there for hours
Watching programmes you don't
Plan to watch they just come on
And if you had one chance to change
Would you review your plans?
'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
Breeze, breeze
I keep my time
Saved in a box
From going fast in cars
I've piled it up high
From saying hello to friends
With a quick goodbye
'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker and then a breeze
'Cause there's not enough time
For one man in one life
Just a flicker
And a breeze
Breeze, breeze, breeze, breeze, breeze...
