How is it a song about getting younger? Was that supposed to be a joke? - Haunted Pink House


Looking at mortality in almost child like terms you wonder how no one has ever done this before. The mink car version is more restrained and better arranged. The malcolm version has the great minimal keyboard solo but is spoilt by Linnell's shouty lyrics that detract from song. (mr Tuck)


This is most defidently a song about getting older, and older, and older, till ya die. Sucks huh?-drworm818


All about the inevitable. -Walrus


The song just puts time in a perspective that most people never think about. You don't think of yourself as growing older by the second, or that the end of anything grows closer by the second.


-Mushroom Pie 'n stuff


You're going to die. This song reinforces this fact.


I think it's written to make people think... and then make them depressed. o_o; This song freaks me out. --Lemita 08:32, 22 Jun 2006 (MDT)


I like the Dial A Song version better for one tiny aspect: the *pause* between "And time..." and "...is still marching on!" I feel this adds a great comedic element to the song that is missing from the Mink Car version.


Hmpf. I feel pity for all the folk within the world attached to the curse of mortality. Good thing I'm an elf!- Shugo Tanaka
