about

Travelling round Europe, working in cafes, staying up late, getting up early… Now Would Be a Good Time is about the two different versions of 4 in the morning. Getting up at 4 in the morning to go into the city to open the cafe ahead of the morning rush… and still being out at 4 on Friday night/Saturday morning. And the whole debatable glamour of working in a minimum wage job… but in a city you dreamed of.

And these are the words:

lyrics

I get up in the middle of the night. I don't know where I'm going with my life. Right now: I'm heading into town. Alone, with my music and my words, all through the sleepy suburbs, I close my eyes and dream of when I used to dream.

I look all over the city: is there anyone here for me? Look all over the city: is there anyone here for me?

Should you ever decide to try to catch my eye, now would be a good time. Should you ever decide to try to catch my eye, now would be the time.

It's easy to be impressed when we've been friends for less than a weekend. Let's dance for one more song. The early rises and tired eyes will slip from my mind, my life across the sea feels like one long Friday night.

I look all over the city: is there anyone here for me? Look all over the city: is there anyone here for me?

Should you ever decide to try to catch my eye, now would be a good time. Should you ever decide to try to catch my eye, now would be the time.
