Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so much left to do and its so fast u cant feel anything
these people places youre passin by theyll be there next time
u gotta help yourself and just make your way and youre findin u
just wanna be there on your own
and youre slowly turnin inside
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again dont let it just get away
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again dont let it just get away
gotta go can we make it another day im holdin on but everything keeps turnin round round and round its a nother place another time you find yourself lookin back where did I go so wrong cuz
theres a voice that theres a feeling that u once had but you cant feel it any more
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again dont let it just get away
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again youre letting it just get away
where did it go its all gone where did it go those times
where did it go where do i turn this time where did it go take me back to
and youre slowly turnin inside
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again dont let it just get away
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again dont let it just get away
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again dont let it just get away
soon youre out of time and it dont come back again youre letting it just get away

Not even five minutes in and I'm already smiling.
Hardly any one has dug these mines! Me, except for the miners.
Phill's back complaining at every bounce.
Great things to come.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍

Phil carries his shovel as if it is another appendage. I can not look at a shovel now without thinking of him. ❤️ these guys! Thank you for the education!🍀

It's wonderful to see this place for real; as a child one of my favourite books was Pigeon Post by Arthur Ransome, which focused on copper mining in the Lakes District and mentioned a good deal of the history of mining n the area from the Elizabethans onwards. Brilliant!.

What a fantastic episode. I really wish they would give themselves more than 3 days
Jay Street
Yeah I don’t understand that part. I understand having to have a time limit but 3 days?
Ray Pellerin
It keeps production costs down. A team could spend decades at many of these sites. My guess is they gather evidence of what places would be worth doing more digs and that is just not part of the show. You almost never see them backfilling a ditch. Makes me think more investigation goes on after the 3 days.

@Ray Pellerin I see what you are saying. And it makes sense. But I suppose I see the same thing here that annoys me with something like Mythbusters. If MythBusters can't solve a problem in 72 hours that ancient people had generations to solve, then it must not be possible at all. The complete arrogance and ridiculous time limits of modern civilization are starting to bug me just a bit
