Now is the time
To show that you care
You were offered hope
But you chose despair
Well you won't know what hit you
When it all comes down
You will crawl through the rubble
Of your one-horse town
But beware the false prophet
Who foretells of this doom
Sitting smug and complacent
In this mansion house room
Well he poisoned the bride then ran off with the groom
Now he travels by night 'neath a world weary moon
He's a wondering minstrel
In a bodily cut suit
Resplendent with afro
And electric lute
And he's speaking in riddles
And he's speaking in tongues
Whilst he plays through a fuzzbox
To an audience of one
And he's speaking in riddles
And he's speaking in tongues
But his words fall like snowflakes
Which melt in the sun
So now is the time
To show that you care
You were offered hope
But you chose despair
You were offered hope
So why choose despair?
Edwyn Stephen Collins (nato il 18 marzo 1959) è un cantautore e musicista scozzese, noto per la sua musica pop-rock con influenze indie e psichedeliche. Ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '80 come membro del gruppo Orange Juice, raggiungendo successo con brani come "Falling and Laughing". Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo, ha avviato una carriera solista di grande successo, pubblicando album come "Gorgeous George" (1994) e "Building a Rocket" (2000). Il suo singolo più famoso è probabilmente "A Girl Like You", un brano che ha raggiunto la top 10 delle classifiche britanniche nel 1995. Nel 2005, Collins ha subito un ictus che lo ha costretto a ritirarsi dalla musica per alcuni anni. Dopo una lunga convalescenza, è tornato a suonare e registrare musica, pubblicando l'album "Understated" (2013). Nel 2009, ha vinto il prestigioso Ivor Novello Award per la sua carriera musicale.
