Any Minute Now
The Sunshine Underground Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fast as you like,
I'm always waiting here
And any minute now,
Any minute now,
Somebody turn the lights on in this town
Sold bright lights,
Take me down to anywhere you like
Well have you been here long,
Have you been here long,
Feels like I have, for quite a while
So wait no more,
I can't wait any more,
Don't run me out of time,
Show me what I'm here for
Satellites
I'm a moving picture and I could be anywhere tonight
And all of me
Is all I know,
I know, I know, I know
And work no more,
Doesn't work any more,
But the words aren't right,
Some of the words aren't right,
And wait no more,
I can't wait any more,
Just show me what I'm here for
So wait no more,
I can't wait any more,




Don't run me out of time
Just show me what I'm here for
