Powderfinger - These Days Lyrics






It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
and settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its demands
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Undignified and lame

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
To tie us down

  3. A.... W....

    Man we've got and had some great aussie bands cool stuff

  4. p.... s....

    I'm just about finished, these days turned out Nothing like I planned.

    p.... s....

    Bloody hell mate... I dont know what to say... I saw your earlier post and now this. I can only hope you're not in pain and have loved ones near,it would be terrifying. Sorry mate😞

    p.... s....

    @Dylan Parker I'm not really looking for sympathy, but people like yourselves make life worth fighting for.

  5. ?.... ....

    I was just looking up this song while my TV was on in the background playing an advert about "canadian club" whiskey. All of a sudden youtube sends me an ad about canadian club whiskey.... 🤔. Proof that smart phones listen in on your conversations.

    ?.... ....

    you needed that as proof? your phone has voice recognition it does not turn off when your phones screen is dark....none of the apps do they keep running in the back round. I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

  6. B.... H....

    Also proudly aussie love the 80s 90s 2000s long haired bands shit such an awesome era ,onloy current band keeping it alive is Steel Panther, keep kranking it everyday everyone.

  7. D.... N....

    FIT IN OR FUCK OFF

  8. d.... s....

    I saw Powderfinger support Crowded House at their last gig at the Sydney Opera House steps in 1997. I knew that one great Aussie band was ending and another was beginning.

  9. R.... I....

    Great song.😎

  10. C.... L....

    Lived in Australia from 88-2001 and I have only just discovered this band. Don't know how I missed them but what a song and band.

  11. r.... l....

    Anyone else remember this from Singstar?

  12. N.... O....

    Two Hands.
    Was dancing in the club they called the titty twister when two hands came out lol had no job for a while

  13. j.... ....

    Cant believe this was released as a b side so good still today 19

  14. p.... s....

    Just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. These days turned out nothing lke I had planned. I want this song played at my funeral.

    p.... s....

    @philip sinclair I couldnt imagine what your going through mate but if it makes you feel any better my girlfriend and I built a house 2yrs ago in a new estate and our neighbour has terminal cancer, his in his 40's and has a wife and 2 kids. Im not sure what stage cancer or what type he has etc, BUT with medication these days his still my neighbour today and still smiling. Chemo took his hair but its now grown back, he knows his illness is eventually going to get the better of him but his had it for over 2yrs now and is still with us so while your able mate spend as much time with your family and friends as possible because a good support network and a laugh a day seems to do wonders. Goodluck mate👍

    p.... s....

    @philip sinclair That's a righteous prayer. I'll say a prayer for you then.

    p.... s....

    @SaturdaysR4 The boyz! Thanks for the post and words of encouragement. I am trying to be positive and hoping but not necessarily confident. I have pancreatic cancer which has spread throughout my stomach. I am not on chemo at present as the doctors say it won't help. I wish your neighbour every hope and encouragement. Miracles DO happen. Whether you believe or not, a prayer will help.
    If anyone has any family history of cancer it's a good idea to have a checkup.The week before I became sick I rode my bike about 100kms, did some weights workouts so I was fairly fit. One day I had no symptoms, the next day I was very sick. My surgeon said that most cancers show no symptoms until too late. However caught early enough a lot af cancers can be cured or managed. Good luck.
    ps. I am very lucky as I have friends and family who comfort me . The religious ones pray for me, which I am very thankful for. The others give their love and support which I couldn't do without.

    p.... s....

    @drew sale I appreciate your kind words more than you will ever know.

    p.... s....

    @philip sinclair Thanks Philip. Prayer sent. May God give you and your family peace and happiness.

    Lyrics:
    It's coming round again
    slowly creeping hand
    of time and its command
    soon enough it comes
    and settles in its place
    its shadow in my face
    puts pressure in my day
    This life well it's slipping right through my hands
    these days turned out nothing like I had planned
    It's coming round again
    the slowly creeping hand
    of time and its command
    it settles in its place
    its shadow in my face
    puts pressure in my day
    soon enough it comes
    here it is again
    slowly creeping hand
    time and it's command
    soon enough it comes
    settles in it's place
    puts pressure in my day
    undignified and lame
    This life well it's slipping right through my hands
    These days turned out nothing like I had planned
    Control well it's slipping right through my hands
    these days…

    I remember having a great discussion with a friend in about 97 I think, that Powderfinger were the late 90's incarnation of INXS. Not the sound so much as the way they tapped into the aussie consciousness of the time. A great 5 piece that didan awesome live show!
