Muse - Sign O' The Times Lyrics






In France, a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance, his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called 'The Disciples'
High on crack, toting a machine gun

Time, time...

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died

A sister killed her baby
'Cuz she couldn't afford to feed it
And we're sending people to the moon
In September, my cousin tried reefer
For the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

Time, time...

It's silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly away?
But some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?
Time...

Baby, make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbours just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody hear the dawn?
Time...

Is it silly no, when a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly away?
Some say that man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh, why?...
Time...

    Way better version

  7. P.... M....

    The way the lead singer plays the guitar and the mic work is extremely skilled. You hear people scream into a static mic and expect even volume through highs and lows while they themselves remain static is impossible, you need to be self aware of your vocal range in my uneducated opinion but as an enthusiast for the art of song. I think hes very skilled

    In France, a skinny man died of a BIG disease
    With a little name
    By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
    And soon she did the same
    At home there are 17-year-old boys
    And their idea of fun
    Is being in a gang called The Disciples
    High on crack and totin' a machine gun
    Time
    Times
    Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
    And killed everyone inside
    U turn on the telly and every other story
    Is tellin' U somebody died
    A sister killed her baby cuz she couldn't afford 2 feed it
    And yet we're sending people 2 the moon
    In September, my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
    Now he's doing horse - it's June
    Times
    Times

    It's silly, no?
    When a rocket ship explodes and everybody still wants 2 fly
    But some say a man ain't happy unless a man truly dies
    Oh why?
    Time
    Time
    Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
    Neighbors just shine it on
    But if a night falls and a bomb falls
    Will anybody see The Dawn?
    Time
    Times
    Is it silly, no?
    When a rocket blows and.. and everybody still wants 2 fly
    Some say a man ain't happy truly until a man truly dies
    Oh why, oh why?
    Sign "O" the times
    Time
    Time
    Sign "O" the times mess with your mind
    Hurry before it's 2 late
    Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
    We'll call him Nate
    If it's a boy
    Time
    Times

  39. A.... B....

    What could be as good as song by Muse? Only cover by Muse!

  46. C.... C....

    Muse,,, un groupe de prestige, nos must, sublime grand respect Cathy

  47. �.... ....

    MUSEもprinceも大好きだー!

  48. w.... ....

    Not easy to cover Prince, but this is awesome!

  49. c.... ....

    OMG! This cover still gives me chills. The guitar is absolutely filthy!!!!! The high vocal notes are godly. This is just brilliant. Thank you guys.

  50. S.... ....

    Holy Shit That was F'n Great... How I just found this being a HUGE Muse Fan is way beyond me! Wow I LOVE IT!!! GREAT JOB!!

  51. J.... ....

    Gettin' to be that time again. Somehow.

  52. S.... 9....

    Unclear talking level: Matt Bellamy
    Honestly I barely understand 1 in every 20 words

    S.... 9....

    Go listen to the original then

  53. L.... M....

    What about putting this on spotify?!

  54. H.... C....

    Words CANNOT express my love for this.

  55. S.... M....

    I listen to this every day. Because a good friend died. He was a great Prince fan. And I am a Muser, so it seems the right thing to do. TIME.

  56. M.... T....

    This is really incredible! I had no idea this happened! In love even more with these guys

  57. P.... M....

    I'll probably be banned from watching because I dared express myself, a symptom of toxic masculinity.

    P.... M....

    No, you won't. I am much worse.

  58. P.... M....

    Love the inconsequential advertising by Youtube that never matches who you are or what you like, and the interference when you are watching a video. Can see this pltaform will be limited in the future, just like other platforms.

  59. P.... M....

    Awesome cover guys, truly awesome, love it!

  60. A.... S....

    Would love to see muse cover some queen tracks! United States of Eurasia has so much Freddie influence in it!

  61. A.... ....

    This cover is amazing!!!!!

  62. Y.... ....

    as a huge 80s Prince fan...I like this cover

  63. N.... ....

    This is genius

  64. l.... ....

    What a way to send him away! Beautiful

  65. C.... D....

    Why mess with a classic, perfect song! Stop already...Please

  66. L.... ....

    This needs to be on the next album

  67. P.... S....

    One of my favorite covers EVER...so damn good

  68. F.... M....

    Omg!! How they sound!! 🙌🙌

  69. S.... B....

    that guitar 🎸😚

  70. B.... B....

    I still remember the first time I saw this I was like wow and now it's got me nice one guys

  71. A.... T....

    Great tribute!

  72. L.... R....

    Shit Mane! Did not expect to come across something like this. This is pure sex

  73. M.... A....

    Lyrics/letra (Prince):

    Oh yeah
    In France a skinny man

    Is being in a gang called The Disciples
    High on crack, totin' a machine gun

    Sister killed her baby 'cuz she couldn't afford to feed it
    And we're sending people to the moon
    In September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time

    Until a man truly dies
    Oh why, oh why, Sign O the Times

    Time, time

    Sign O the Times mess with your mind
    Hurry before it's too late
    Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
    We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy

    Time, time

    Time, time

  74. T.... H....
