about

sung by Brian Woodbury

lyrics

When I first set sight of this town
I had many numbers to ring
And I had many a song to sing wherever I went
When I first set foot in this town
I was ready for anything
I brought along all that I could bring
All the good times I spent

But then it starts to wear me down
There's a frown inside the clown
Why'd I ever set my sights on this old town?

I can't get out of here
And all I get out of here is going nowhere and
Only doing the things I'm supposed to do

Let's do everything:
Let's do everything
Let's do everything
Let's do everything
Let's do everything

We've been wanting to
We've been putting of
What we waiting for
Let's do everything

Now we're gonna do everything
'Cause there's no time left to do anything else
And maybe just enough time for everything,
'Cause it's now or never now
Let freedom ring.

When I first fell into this world,
I was laughing deep in the deep
Many miles to go before I go to sleep all over
When I grew up into a man,
My joyful promise trying to keep
Turned into twelve years acting like sheep
Counting four leaf clover.

Now, we've gone into overtime
But I don't see a finishline
Can I turn the TV off, if you don't mind?

I'm at an end of rope
Not pushing the envelope, just pushing paper and
Tired of doing the things I'm supposed to do

Let's do everything:
Let's do everything
Let's do everything
Let's do everything
Let's do everything

There's no reason now
We're all learning how
Everybody now
Let's do everything

Let's not figure the
Probabilities
Possibilities
We are doing everything

Goodbye pigeon hole
No go for the goal
Go out of control
Let's do everything

Let's do everything:

New day christening
Time is whistling
Are you listening?
Let's do everything

No more moving slow
Say no to just saying no
It's okay, let's go
Let's do everything.

Let's say everything
Let's be everything
Let's see everything
Let's do everything

There's no fate doing everything,
Making happen whether we like it or not.
The world is just too great to be anything
Less than everything in it to the last dot.
It's too late to be wondering
If it's just too late to escape from the plot.
I can't wait to do
Everything and open every door for swingin',
Every mouth for singin' out:
Let freedom ring.
