"Time Flies" von Porcupine Tree handelt von der Vergänglichkeit der Zeit und wie wir damit umgehen können. Der Songtext ...

I was born in '67
The year of "Sgt. Pepper"
And "Are You Experienced"

Into a suburb of heaven
Yeah it should have been forever
It all seemed to make so much sense

But after a while you realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance for a while

She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh then smile

But after a while you realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

And laughing under summer showers
Is still the way I see you now

How does time break down?
With no marker, things slow down
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged

I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinkin'
But I'm not sure where to start
You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar?

But after a while you realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

And the coat you wore to Alton Towers
Is still the way I see you now
