Lyrics

OH NO

Oh no, say it isn't so
Procrastination's finally found me
Ya see, it was hiding right in front of me
Just where I looked last week

And I can't help but wasting
Wasting all my time
I could have been somebody
If I only had more time
I've been caught wasting
Wasting all my time
I could have been anybody
If I'd only had more time

Oh no, say it isn't so
Finally someone else who understands me
Ya see, it's always been a part of me
I know it's hard to believe

And I can't help but wasting
Wasting all my time
I could have been somebody
If I only had more time
I've been caught wasting
Wasting all my time
I could have been anybody
If I'd only had more time

Time is on my side
It's time I decide
How will I arrive
Will I change my mind

Music & Lyrics by Bill Hunter © 2003

Like the chord changes and the guitar parts - good commercial rock feel. Reminiscent of early John Lennon and ELO. Like the angst in the vocal and the bass line. Like the break @ 2:37 and the ending as well.

This is a very solid rock song from start to finish. I really enjoy the intensity of the lead vocalist and the way he delivers a real knock out performance. This is the kind of singer who could really make it, because having a good voice is a rare thing. The electric guitar rocks and helps the arrangement. Would like to see this band perform live.

Nice reminded me of Richard Marx a bit.

The punchy verse rhythm, with the shift to 8ths in the chorus give this a HUGE, anthemic feel. Bridge goes to just the right spaot at the perfect time. Singer has a really strong voice, band is tight, mix is totally pro, drummer/bassist right in pocket - I imagine live you guys rock!
