Kevin Johansen's "Timing" (song)

Great simple & honest lyrics, and a lovely clarinet (or is that a flute?) playing throughout. I heard this guy while coming back from the Cotopaxi trip in Vero's car. It was a really cool moment.






(Succ... ess... succ... ess... sucks...)
If you want to be afraid, just be afraid
If you want to go back home, just go back home
If you want to comb your hair, just comb your hair
If you want to be alone, just be alone
If you want to watch the sea, just watch the sea
But do it now, timing is the answer
Do it now, timing is the answer to success

If you want to give a kiss, just give a kiss
If you want to fall in love, just fall in love
If you want to never know, just never know
If you want to throw a fit, just throw a fit
If you want to give a show, just give a show
But do it now, timing is the answer... to success
I suppose, I suppose

And if you want to weoh, weoh!
Just weoh, weoh hoh!
If you want to tralala!
Just tralala!
If you want to booh hooh!
Just booh hooh hooh!
And if you want to salama, salama
Just salama, salama!
But do it now, don’t doubt
Timing is the answer...
And if you don’t know what to say

And if you don’t know where to go
And if you don’t know what to do
Just do it now
Ahhh! please do it now
Timing is the answer... to... succ... ess!
