We’ve got time lots of time It’s alright it’s alright I’m on your side for a while We’ll wind up We’ll slow down We’ll speed up move around or we’ll maybe overwind.. Because our minds beats time like clockwork And now we think in sync like clockwork ooh ooh ooh And our minds beats time like clockwork And we think in sync like clockwork Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock Mick 2009

Cette chanson évoque l'idée d'une existence rythmée, presque mécanique, où les pensées et les émotions semblent s'aligner sur un tempo précis. L'artiste se révèle conscient de son environnement, mais aussi en quête de sens au milieu d'une routine étouffante. Il est question de percevoir le temps comme une mesure de notre vie, tout en réalisant que chaque instant est précieux, même si parfois, on peut se sentir coincé dans ce flux incessant. Le contexte se situe dans les années 1970, une période marquée par des changements sociaux et culturels. Les paroles résonnent avec des thèmes de désillusion et de recherche de vérité dans un monde qui semble se conformer à des normes établies, un reflet des préoccupations de cette époque où l'individu lutte pour trouver sa place dans une société en constante évolution.
