Big Time Lyrics By Peter Gabriel

    hi there

    i’m on my way i’m making it
    i’ve got to make it show yeah
    so much larger than life
    i’m going to watch it growing

    the place where i come from is a small town
    they think so small they use small words
    but not me i’m smarter than that
    i worked it out

    pre
    i’ve been stretching my mouth
    to let those big words come right out
    i’ve had enough i’m getting out
    to the city the big big city
    i’ll be a big noise with all the big boys
    there’s so much stuff i will own
    and i will pray to a big god
    as i kneel in the big church

    big time
    i’m on my way i’m making it
    big time
    big time
    i’ve got to make it show yeah
    big time
    big time
    so much larger than life
    big time
    i’m going to watch it growing
    big time

    my parties have all the big names
    and i greet them with the widest smile
    tell them how my life is one big adventure
    and always they’re amazed

    pre
    when i show them round the house to my bed
    i had it made like a mountain range
    with a snowwhite pillow for my big fat head
    and my heaven will be a big heaven
    and i will walk through the front door

    big time
    i’m on my way i’m making it
    big time
    big time
    i’ve got to make it show yeah
    big time
    big time
    so much larger than life
    big time
    i’m going to watch it growing
    big time

    big time
    my car is getting bigger
    big time
    my house getting bigger
    big time
    my eyes getting bigger
    big time
    and my mouth
    big time
    my belly’s getting bigger
    big time
    and my bank account
    big time
    look at my circumstance
    big time
    and the bulge in my big big big
    big big big big
    big big big big
    big big big big
