Lyrics
Nothing happens at terrific speed
We’re all aboard and it’s agreed All our futures on a plate
Then one dude hesitates - she says...
Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait
Is any body else in pain?
Looking like we’ve got to start again
Stop, desist, don’t terminate
What could emanate from...
Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait
We're ready holding steady
We're ready to go go go
If we move don't disapprove
Or put a stop to the show
I'm trying hard not to laugh
Taking direction from a stuffed giraffe
What’s the question - there’s no answer
Logical conclusion - disaster
Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait
It's like living through a scene from Joyce
That’s why it feels like we’ve got no choice
Molly Bloomers or Loony Tuners
Get straight... We’re baby boomers
It’s a bore when you know the score,
There's another mother at your door
Pull the plug out in the dugout
We can’t work it out if you shout
Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait
Got my teddy we're still steady
Rough and ready to go go go
If we move don't disapprove
Or put a stop to the show
Don't stop the show
Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait, Hurry up and wait
