Chorus:
Four minutes left to go,
Is this the end?
Then message on your stereo
Four minute warning
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do then?
A few short story's,
A four minute warning

Verse 1:
Sasha stands in his yellow cafe,
"Yes the heart of the city is here," so he tells me
Sitting on his red leather sofa,
He's rolling another,
"Man, I'll see you when I see ya"

Polly is said to be the next big thing,
In her high heel boots and her two inch earrings
Heart of glass,
Blondie sings in her ear,
"You're a rock queen, honey, and we all hear you!"
Come on!

Chorus:
Three minutes left to go,
Is this the end?
Then message on your stereo
Four minute warning
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do then?
A few short story's
A four minute warning

Verse 2:
Lucy had a hard time with love,
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy
"Loving when you know it's the final time,"
She now holds time in her own mind
(Yeah)
Jimmy sings a local for Michael,
A Guinness in one hand and in the other a fable, able
I once asked: "Are you a lonely man?"
His reply was non-committal:
"I am what I am man"

Chorus:
Two minutes left to go,
Is this the end?
Then message on your stereo
Four minute warning
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do?
A few short story's
A four minute warning

Cry, Laugh, Feel love, Peace, Panic,
These are your four minutes
(I'm counting you down
Four minutes of sound
It's always a rush when your around)

The final story is one of me,
Who with four minutes left,
Has used up three
I think of you,
I think of me,
Then I think of nothing
It's the end you see Yeah!

Chorus:
One minute left to go,
Is this the end?
Then message on your stereo
Four minute warning
Everybody wants to know,
What should we do then?
A few short story's
A four minute warning

What would you do, yeah
With a four minute warning, a four minute warning
I'm fading away, I'm fading awayIf anybody wants to know
I'm fading away, I'm fading awayThere's only seconds left to go
