lyrics

A BILLION THINGS TO DO

Born a 60's son ... Top Cat & a Captain Scarlet gun
Teenage 70's ... Punk Rock & some useless GCE's

I didn't want to wait until tomorrow
I didn't want to see it all go by
see I had a billion things to do ...before I die

Hard times 84 ...Maggie! Maggie’s! at the Door. Boo!!!Hoo ...Boo!!!Hoo
90's decadence ... The more I took the less it all made sense

I didn't want to wait until tomorrow
didn't want to see it all roll by
see I got a billion things to do ...before I die
I didn't want to sit in no boring classroom
working for the boss man 9 to 5
see I had a billion things to do ...before I die

before I die ...before I die
before I get to say goodbye
Before the sun goes down ...The lights go out
I can't Rock 'n' Roll or Twist 'n Shout
gonna live each day ...like it really was MY last!!!!

Now I'm up to date .... OH! YEAH, still can't wait.

Chorus
NO! I don't want to wait until tomorrow
I don't want to see it all roll by
see I got a billion things to do ...before I die
I don't want to work in no boring office
NO! NO! NO! not 9 to 5
see I got a billion things to do ...before I die. Oh YEAH!
Oh! you see I got a billion things to do ...before I die
before I die
before I die
YEAH! before I die
