Four Minutes lyrics

[Billy:] Four minutes and counting

[Jim:] Okay...

[Billy:] They pressed the button, Jim

[Jim:] They pressed the button, Billy? What button?

[Billy:] The big red one

[Jim:] You mean the button?

[Billy:] Goodbye, Jim

[Jim:] Goodbye? Oh yes! This ain't au revoir, it's goodbye! Ha! Ha!

[Jim:] This is KAOS. It's a beautiful, balmy, Southern California summer day. It's 80 degrees- I said balmy; I could've said bomb-y! (laughing) Okay

[Jim:] I'm Jim, and this is Radio KAOS. and with only four minutes left to us, let's use this as wisely as possible. Out at Dodger Stadium, it's the bottom of the seventh. The Dodgers are leading three to nothing over the Giants. And, uh, for those of you who are looking to go surfing tomorrow, too bad

(Phone rings)

(Jim answers the phone)

[Jim (to the audience):] I'm kinda lost in here to tell you the truth

[Jim (on the phone):] Okay, good, I'll handle it

(Jim hangs up the phone)

[Jim: (to the audience):] Ladies and gentlemen, if the reports that we are getting are correct, ah, this could be *it*

Billy, if you're listening to me, please call now

[Verse]

After a near miss on a plane

You swear you'll never fly again

After the first kiss when you make up

You swear you'll never break up again

And when you've just run a red light

Sit shaking under the street light

You swear to yourself you'll never drink and drive again

[Chorus]

(Sometimes I feel like going home)

You swear you'll never let things go by again

(Sometimes I miss the rain and snow)

And you'll never toe the party line again

(And when the east wind blows, sometimes I feel like going home)

[Jim:] Billy, if you are listening, please call

[Californian Weirdo:] Sole has no eyes

[Molly:] Goodbye little spy in the sky

They say the cameras don't lie

Am I happy? Am I sad? Am I good? Am I bad?

[Californian Weirdo:] Sole has no eyes

[Californian Weirdo:] Sole has no eyes

[Billy:] Counts down from 10 to 1

[Margaret Thatcher:] Our own independent nuclear deterrent has helped to keep the peace, for nearly forty years

[Jim:] Goodbye, Billy
