You Have Got Time

from The Lions by The Magician & The Gates of Love

/

about

You Have Got Time was one of the earliest songs that I(Nathan) wrote. Because it was written on my organ and I always played it live with the organ's built in drum loops and it was one of the more "complete" live songs that I could play as a solo artist.

At the end of recording Jonathan Anderson encouraged me to record the track, even simply on the organ and not with the full band. We whipped it up in a free afternoon, and it reflects the lo-fi origins of the song. It's loping organ, and my warbling vocals, not really an A-side, but we thought we could still include it along with The Lions.

lyrics

You have got time,
You better not waste it,
You better use it wisely,
You better not do what I did.

You have got your love,
You better not waste it,
You better give it freely,
You better not do what I did.

I was born from the warmth of my mother's womb
To walk this lonely earth before I earn my tomb

You have got time,
You better not waste it,
You better use it wisely,
You better not do what I did.

You have got your love,
You better not waste it,
You better give it freely,
You better not do what I did.
