B. r. hornsby/john hornsby



It came on fast when i heard the blast

And the main generator gave a giant gasp

It was round about midnight, about half past

And the city went black as coal so fast



Oh, what a time

Everybody was fazing, hazing

Oh, what a time

It was time to be amazing

Time to lose all reason or rhyme

What a time



It was bad to worse, as the landlord cursed

And the water tank in the backyard burst

We were slipping and sliding and killing thirst

And we couldn't see a soul doing it in the dirt



Oh, what a time

Everybody was praising, raising

Oh, what a time

It was time to be amazing

Time to lose all reason or rhyme

What a time



A thousand people singing in the dark

Couldn't see a thing

A thousand people singing in the dark



Oh, what a time

Everybody was razing, grazing

Oh, what a time

It was time to be amazing

Time to lose all reason or rhyme

What a time
