The Time Is Now

"The Time Is Now" is a song by Irish-English electronica-pop duo Moloko, released as the lead single from their third album, Things to Make and Do. Members Mark Brydon and Róisín Murphy conceived the song as an acoustic dance recording, not wanting to turn it into a loud, drum-heavy track, unlike much of their earlier work.

[Verse 1] You're my last breath You're a breath of fresh air to me I am empty So tell me you care for me You're the first thing And the last thing on my mind In your arms I feel Sunshine [Verse 2] All the promise A daydream yet to come Time is upon us Oh but the night is young Flowers blossom In the wintertime In your arms I feel Sunshine [Chorus] Give up yourself unto the moment The time is now Give up yourself unto the moment Let's make this moment last [Verse 3] You may find yourself Out on a limb for me Could you accept it as Part of your destiny? I give all I have But it's not enough And my patience's all shot So I'm calling your bluff [Chorus] Give up yourself unto the moment The time is now Give up yourself unto the moment Let's make this moment last [Chorus] Give up yourself unto the moment The time is now Give up yourself unto the moment Let's make this moment last [Verse 4] And we gave it time All eyes are on the clock Time takes too much time Please make the waiting stop And the atmosphere is charged In you I trust And I feel no fear as I Do as I must [Chorus] Give up yourself unto the moment The time is now Give up yourself unto the moment Let's make this moment last [Chorus] Give up yourself unto the moment The time is now Give up yourself unto the moment Let's make this moment last [Bridge] Tempted by fate And I won't hesitate The time is now And I can't wait I've been empty too long The time is now Pretending that it's gone And the time has come Let's make this moment last And the night is young The time is now Let's make this moment last [Chorus] Give up yourself unto the moment The time is now Give up yourself unto the moment Let's make this moment last
