Hourglass Lyrics By Squeeze

    i feel like i’m pounding on a big door
    no one can hear me knocking
    i feel like i’m falling flat to the floor
    no one can catch me from falling

    pre
    the hourglass has no more grains of sand
    my watch has stopped no more turning hands
    the crew have abandoned the ship
    the lights are on but no one is in

    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down
    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down

    i feel like i’m calling on a telephone
    no one can hear the ringing
    i feel like i’m running up a steep hill
    no one can stop me from running

    pre
    the hourglass has no more grains of sand
    my watch has stopped no more turning hands
    the little hand shakes its fist
    the face is hanging out on a spring

    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down
    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down
    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down
    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down

    saxophone

    the hourglass has no more grains of sand
    little red grains of sand
    my watch has stopped no more turning hands
    little green neon hands

    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down
    take it to the throw it overboard
    see if it can swim back up to the shore
    no one’s in the house everyone is out
    all the lights are on and the blinds are down

    feel like i’m calling back to the shore
    no one can hear me calling
    feel like i’m falling back to the floor
    no one can catch me from falling
