Four Minute Warning Lyrics
Four minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning
Sasha stands in his yellow cafe
yes the heart of the city is here, so he tells me
Sitting on his red leather sofa, he's rolling another
Man, I'll see you when I see you
Holly is set to be the next big thing
In her high heeled boots, and her two inch earrings
Heart of glass, Blondie, sings in her ear
You're a rock queen honey and we all hear you!
Three minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning
Lucy had a hard time with love
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy
Loving when you know it's the final time
She now holds time in her own mind
Yeah, Jimmy's is the local for Michael
A Guinness in one hand, in the other a fable, able
I once asked are you a lonely man
His reply was non-commital, 'I am what I am'
Two minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning
Cry, Laugh, Feel love, These high moments,
And these are your four minutes.
(Counting down, four minutes, it's a sound)
The final story is one of me,
Who with four minutes left has used up three
I think of you, I think of me
Then I think of nothing, it's the end you see, yeah!
One minute left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning
What would you do, yeah
With a four minute warning, a four minute warning...
I'm fading away, I'm fading away, if anybody wants to know...
Message on your stereo, four minute warning
Everybody wants to know, what should we do
The official story's a four minute warning
yes the heart of the city is here, so he tells me
Sitting on his red leather sofa, he's rolling another
Man, I'll see you when I see you
In her high heeled boots, and her two inch earrings
Heart of glass, Blondie, sings in her ear
You're a rock queen honey and we all hear you!

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This songs basically about the end of the world and being alerted that theres only 4 minutes left and what the world does etc.. Despite being a poppy song apparenbtly this song has affected a lot of people emotionally... Great song over all :)
Absoloutly brilliant, what pop should be all about. It is a real life thing, that if the Russians were to launch a missile at London, the government promises us 4 minutes warning to make our peace with God...
I love how the song itself actually takes up almost exactly four minutes. When you finish listening to it you think, wow, that would be it by now.
jocularjosh pretty much nailed it......its about fear....
Meaning: It's nearly up, our life. All he cares about is his love. But it is saying use the time you have left wisely. He only has four minutes, that's four minutes with his love.
