About Right Time

"The Right Time" was a single by iconic Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus which reached #41 on the ARIA Singles Charts. It was released on RCA Records in November, 1993; and was written by Dave Faulkner. First B side "Road Hog" was written by Brad Shepherd and second B side "Wait for the Sun" by Faulkner. "... was originally conceived to be just one of a suite of songs, a mini-opera like the Who's A Quick One as I strived to fulfill my Wagnerian masterplan to revive the '70s concept album (c. f. Radiohead). Two other songs from Crank, "Hypocrite Blues" and "Gospel Train", also survive from the grand opus. "The Right Time" was intended as the theme for a female gang of motorcycle hellcats, but of course that's obvious." - Dave Faulkner.

Baby here we come,
We're gonna step on you,
Just stay out of our way now.
Listen we don't care,
Keep your business to yourself,
You've got too much to say now.

You are mine (you are mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time.

Baby we ain't sure,
That we like your attitude,
Don't you act like a child now.
We ain't here for long, ---
No mistakes for being rude,
Service me with a smile now.

You are mine (you are mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time.

Make a sign (make a sign),
Cross that line (anytime, anywhere)
There's no time like the right time
And that's now.

Baby watch your step,
Or we'll have to mess you up,
You better do what I say now,
We might live longer that way now.
But for what.

You are mine (yes you're mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time.

Make a sign (make a sign),
Cross that line (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time,
Like the right time,
Like the right time,
Like the right time.
