Time To Ring Some Changes
(Richard Thompson)
This old house is a-tumbling down
The walls are gone but the roof is sound
The landlord’s
deaf, he can never be found
It’s time to ring some changes
They’ll arrest you son if you just stand
still
They’ll ask you to pose with your hand in the till
They’ll ask you to die when you’ve written
your will
It’s time to ring some changes
It’s time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time
to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
O the politicians they look so smug
You say tell the truth and
they give you a shrug
You might find the truth swept under the rug
It’s time to ring some changes
You pay
for your money for your daily bread
But the bread’s gone up so you need more money
The money’s gone down,
better borrow instead
It’s time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time
to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
O you fall in love with the girl you’ve seen
Diamond studded
on a tv screen
But the change in your pocket won’t buy you a dream
It’s time to ring some changes
So
you steal a car and you go for a ride
You end up sleeping with some girl guide
And everything you do leaves you empty
inside
It’s time to ring some change
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring
some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time
to ring some changes
Time To Ring Some Changes II
(Richard Thompson)
This old house is a tumbling down
The walls are gone but the roof is sound
The landlord’s
deaf, he can never be found
It’s time to ring some changes
They’ll arrest you son if you just stand
still
They’ll ask you to pose with your hand in the till
They’ll ask you to die when you’ve written
your will
It’s time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to
ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
You earn your money for your daily bread
But the bread’s gone
up so you need more money
But the money’s gone down, better borrow instead
It’s time to ring some changes
Now
the politicians, they look so smug
They say tell the truth, then they give you a shrug
You might find the truth swept
under the rug
It’s time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time
to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Now listen here to the self-made man
He says why can’t you
if I can
Can’t you push buttons, can’t you make plans
It’s time to ring some changes
I’m
going to tear this mansion down
Get my feet back on the ground
Penny for penny and pound for pound
It’s time
to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to
ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some changes
Time to ring some
changes
This version of the song, sung by Richard Thompson,
can be found on Hard Cash (various artists) (1990)
