10cc ~ Old Mister Time


He looked funny The children called him the scarecrow An old raincoat And baggy trousers and sneakers He found at the dump Oh, but if you bothered to look There was something behind the rags Oh there was a look in his eyes It was something you'd never forget He lived badly A broken shack on the railway An old moggy The only one who replied When he talked to the walls Oh we didn't understand We were fooled by the dirt on his face Oh we were human then We were searching behind his disgrace Why don't you leave me alone Why don't you go to your homes Why don't you keep to yourselves I'm tellin you Why don't you leave me alone You're never gonna realise When all you do is criticise You're never gonna make it work You never seem to get enough You crumble when its getting rough You're never gonna make it work I'm tellin' you there'll come a day You're gonna blow yourselves away It's wrong that i should interfere I just get in the way Why don't you leave me alone Why don't you go to your homes Why don't you keep to yourselves I'm tellin you Why don't you leave me alone Deep into the night He was working by the light Of the candle by his bed On the theory in his head He was building from the junk That he rescued from the dump And when he turned the power on There was a sound and he was gone Oh in the gray of the dawn We discovered the thing he was working on Oh we didn't understand The future was old mister time Future was old mister time Future was old mister time Future was old mister time Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)

He looked funny
The children called him the scarecrow
An old raincoat
And baggy trousers and sneakers
He found at the dump
Oh, but if you bothered to look
There was something behind the rags
Oh there was a look in his eyes
It was something you'd never forget
He lived badly
A broken shack on the railway
An old moggy
The only one who replied
When he talked to the walls
Oh we didn't understand
We were fooled by the dirt on his face
Oh we were human then
We were searching behind his disgrace
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you go to your homes
Why don't you keep to yourselves
I'm tellin you
Why don't you leave me alone
You're never gonna realise
When all you do is criticise
You're never gonna make it work
You never seem to get enough
You crumble when its getting rough
You're never gonna make it work
I'm tellin' you there'll come a day
You're gonna blow yourselves away
It's wrong that i should interfere
I just get in the way
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you go to your homes
Why don't you keep to yourselves
I'm tellin you
Why don't you leave me alone
Deep into the night
He was working by the light
Of the candle by his bed
On the theory in his head
He was building from the junk
That he rescued from the dump
And when he turned the power on
There was a sound and he was gone
Oh in the gray of the dawn
We discovered the thing he was working on
Oh we didn't understand
The future was old mister time
Future was old mister time
Future was old mister time
Future was old mister time
Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)
Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)
Old mister time (mister time, mister time....)

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
