Time And Again - Noel Coward[00:00:00]

Written by：Coward[00:00:03]

Life is what you make it[00:00:07]

As someone once observed[00:00:09]

A phrase the sounds a trifle glib[00:00:12]

But whoever thought it out had clearly never sorted out[00:00:16]

The vexing problem of Adam's spare rib[00:00:20]

Chastity I take it[00:00:25]

Is specially reserved[00:00:27]

For those possessing moral fibres[00:00:29]

Mine fail me all the time[00:00:34]

And maybe that's the reason I'm[00:00:36]

A baa baa black sheep calling all subscribers[00:00:38]

Time and again[00:00:44]

I'm tortured with contrition[00:00:46]

And swear that I'm sorry I've sinned[00:00:48]

Then when I've got the whole thing sewn up[00:00:53]

I must own up[00:00:57]

Everything gets blown up[00:01:00]

Freud could explain my curious condition[00:01:02]

And jung would have certainly grinned[00:01:07]

When I meet some sly dish[00:01:11]

That looks like my dish[00:01:13]

I'm sunk drunk gone with the wind[00:01:16]

How can I start afresh[00:01:20]

When the sins of the flesh override me[00:01:22]

Maybe some some psycho analyst[00:01:29]

Might slap my wrist[00:01:32]

And give a twist[00:01:34]

To what goes on inside me[00:01:35]

If I could feign[00:01:39]

The glandular transition[00:01:41]

I'd settle for taking the veil[00:01:43]

Time and again I try time and again I fail[00:01:48]

Moralists disparage[00:01:59]

A variable heart[00:02:01]

And say that it should be fenced in[00:02:03]

But they never think about[00:02:08]

Effective means of casting out[00:02:10]

That dear old die hard original sin[00:02:12]

Table d'hô te is marriage[00:02:17]

Free love is à la carte[00:02:19]

And once you've crossed forbidden fruits off[00:02:21]

You merely find that you've[00:02:26]

Unwittingly set out to prove[00:02:28]

The age old saying better with your boots off[00:02:30]

Time and again[00:02:37]

I've tried to form a credo[00:02:39]

But some how I don't seem to learn[00:02:41]

Just when I think my guardian angel's winning[00:02:45]

I go spinning[00:02:50]

Back to the beginning[00:02:52]

I can't refrain from firing a torpedo abaft or ahead or astern[00:02:54]

If I hit my quarry[00:03:03]

I can't feel sorry[00:03:06]

I'm hooked cooked done to a turn[00:03:08]

Though I frequently wish[00:03:12]

I could curb my conditioned reflexes[00:03:15]

I'll be damned if I'll sacrifice[00:03:21]

Sugar and spice[00:03:24]

To be precise nothing as nice as sex is[00:03:26]

I can't restrain my lecherous libido from slipping and tipping the scale[00:03:31]

Time and again I try time and again I fail[00:03:40]
