Fine Time
Yazz and The Plastic Population Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keeping our love alive
There's nobody else but you tonight
Your light is shining bright
Oh
This is a fine time to change your mind
Yeah
Yeah
This is a fine time
I can't go on without your love
We've been together so long
You kept me satisfied
How could you walk out of my life
I don't know if I can love you
The way that you want me to love you
I still need you here tonight
Your light is shining bright
Oh
This is a fine time to change your mind
Yeah
You picked a fine time to cross the line
Yeah
This is a fine time
I can't go on without your love
Everybody seems to tell you
That I ain't no good for you
You say that I make you feel so blue
Tell me now
Was I so blind
Oh
This is a fine time to change your mind
Oh
This is a fine time to change your mind
The lyrics of Yazz and The Plastic Population's song Fine time talks about the power of love and how it can sometimes waver and change. The song opens with the idea of having faith in magic and keeping love alive, indicating that love is an inexplicable force that requires some kind of belief to sustain it. The singer speaks directly to their love interest, highlighting the importance of their presence in the current moment, alluding to how their light is shining bright.
The chorus of the song, "This is a fine time to change your mind, This is a fine time to cross the line, Yeah, This is a fine time, I can't go on without your love," shows the vulnerability the singer is feeling, asking their love interest to reconsider and not leave them. Despite the length of their relationship and how satisfied they have been, their romantic partner appears to pull back, leading the singer to feel uncertain of their current position. The singer reflects on how their love interest has been made to feel by others and pleads for them not to leave, despite potentially feeling discontent.

Although The Only Way is Up was her most successful hit, this was my favourite Yazz track. A lovely mellow, soulful song with nice instrumentals. You really get to appreciate her vocal talents too.
@jacknjill3000
Me too and had the 12” single.
@billg3445
same ❤ love this track ❤❤
@Hestabainano-ry3vn
Mine too. I purchased the cd single back then. Still got it in my collection.
@Hestabainano-ry3vn
And the cd single of Where has all the love gone. The Ghetto mix is such a masterpiece.

Fabulous Song, stunning voice Jazz, I still listen to this song regularly in 2024
@Evemeister12
This is far better than "the only way is up". This should've been Yazz's signature song.
@veggie42
I agree especially now it's used for TOWIE etc
@kevmc7046
I agree this should have been her signature for sure and it should have made #1 aleast the top 5
@joannemills2084
Couldn't agree more.
