“Time Seller” was the most successful single released off of With Their New Face On, reaching number 30 on the UK charts. The song is distinctive for its “I Am The Walrus”-inspired strings and the proto-music video released with the single, which (among other things) depicts the Spencer Davis Group...
[Verse 1]
I know there's a man who can sell time
I can take it away and say that it's mine
He smiles from a distance and lives in a tree
Holding out a welcome hand, just for you and me
[Verse 2]
Money is chocolate, wrapped in a silver cloud
Everybody would, but no one is allowed
There's no tomorrow, only today
When it rains, it rains lemonade
[Chorus]
So come with me and meet a man
Whose job it is, it's selling all this time
Before he spreads his wings
And starts to flying 'round the sky
[Verse 3]
People are shadows trapped in a golden well
And only children's eyes can break the spell
They live in a land where the clocks grow on trees
And words sound just like a cool summer breeze
[Verse 4]
I know that this man who does sell time
Is someone who's lying deep in my mind
It's so sad to think that there is such a man
When you're lonely, you can join me in his hand
[Chorus]
Come with me and meet a man
Whose job it is, it's selling all this time
Before he spreads his wings
And starts to flying 'round the sky
