Whilst the music is upbeat, the inclusion of Cello and Trumpet give it a dynamic quality that grabs listeners' attention, from the first to the last note played.

The distinct influences of Maroon 5 and Jack Johnson's strong song writing, crossed with the upbeat rhythms and diverse arrangements of Jamiroquai, has created a strong belief accross the music industry that they will be the next big thing...

Borrowed Time
Two Spot Gobi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do people see in dreams?
Do they see the places I have seen?
Where clean the air and sea blue-green
Or do they know some other meaning?
Me I see a place where we
Can live together happily
And show the people what real life means
And not the shit thats on their tv screen

If only they would learn, how to touch the sun

As day by day the sky turns grey
Please tell me where will all the children play?
Theres got to be another way
Before the ground beneath us breaks
If we could only touch the sun
Hands outstretched for everyone,
We could make each other see
What can happen when there is poetry

Because it aint my time, its your time,
Its never their time, its our time

And we are all on borrowed time
We cant take from our children whats not yours or mine
We need to sit back unwind, appreciate the sunshine
Dont go polluting your mind, because it really isnt wise to so
And we all know how it could go
If we carry on without control
Tides will rise and heads will roll

Because it aint my time, its your time,
Its never their time, its our time

What do people see in dreams?

Me I see a place where we Can live together happily And show the people what real life means And not the sh*t that's on their TV screen
In my dreams, I envision a place where humans live in harmony and contentment, demonstrating to others the true essence of life rather than what is displayed on television.

If only they would learn, how to touch the sun
If only people understand how to attain the unattainable, impossible goals.

As day by day the sky turns grey Please tell me where will all the children play? There's got to be another way Before the ground beneath us breaks
Each day, the atmosphere becomes gloomier, so where will future generations enjoy themselves if environmental destruction continues, it's crucial to take action before it's too late.

If we could only touch the sun Hands outstretched for everyone, We could make each other see What can happen when there is poetry
If we could only accomplish the impossible, we could use this achievement to inspire others and generate a sense of wonder and appreciation of beauty and creativity.

Because it ain't my time, it's your time, It's never their time, it's our time
The passage of time belongs to no single person, but instead is experienced collectively and shared by all.

And we are all on borrowed time We can't take from our children what's not yours or mine We need to sit back unwind, appreciate the sunshine Don't go polluting your mind because it really isn't wise to do so And we all know how it could go If we carry on without control Tides will rise and heads will roll
We only have a limited time on this earth and must not harm future generations by stealing their resources. Instead, we should relax and embrace life's simple pleasures like sunlight, and avoid making poor choices that can have damaging consequences for the environment.
