Twenty Four Hours Lyrics
People rushing left to right
There's pretty faces left to right
I'm just frozen staring into space
Faster than the speed of light
I'm holding on, I'm holding tight
Cause stars are gonna crash into this place
And it's caught wide screen so we dont miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear
cause all I waited for is
Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
This is more than daily bread,
It's three degrees, It's something else,
And you just take it all into your stride
Couldn't be an accident
Cause I cant see no ambulance,
I know that we will work it out this time
And its caught wide screen so we dont miss a thing
Now I'm standing clear 'cause all I waited for is...
Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
Closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
Now we're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
It's not over, It's not over
We've still got twenty four hours
It's not over, It's not over yet
We've still got twenty four hours
There's pretty faces left to right
I'm just frozen staring into space
I'm holding on, I'm holding tight
Cause stars are gonna crash into this place
Now I'm standing clear
cause all I waited for is
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
It's three degrees, It's something else,
And you just take it all into your stride
Cause I cant see no ambulance,
I know that we will work it out this time
Now I'm standing clear 'cause all I waited for is...
We've still got twenty four hours
We're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We've still got twenty four hours
Now we're closing in,
We've still got twenty four hours
We've still got twenty four hours
It's not over, It's not over yet
We've still got twenty four hours

so... one of my favorites... i dont udnerstand everry meanings (im french...) but i love the chorus, i dont know.. for me, it juste gives me so much images in head... "we still have 24 hours"... for me its "24 hours to share together, dont waste our time..." maybe he talk to a girl she know what he feels or not? i dunno...
I think this song is about the anticipation of a big event that will take place in the next 24 hours (concert, wedding, etc.). It is something the couple/group has worked for "couldn't be an accident."
"This is more than daily bread" I thought it was "baited breath"...?
Anyway, since I always look for depressing undertones, I think this is about cherishing one's last moments with someone who is dying. That's just me...
I guess you're quite right here. When I first listened to the song I was thinking of my father who's quite old compared to other boys' fathers. I was kind of feeling like it's the song for our last moments together. Something like sitting in a hospital at his bed and knowing it will all end soon, but telling him that we still have twentyfour hours.

The first two verses could be counted as evidences for my thesis. "People rushing left to right There's pretty faces left to right I'm just frozen staring into space" - rings a bell, could be the hospital...

Uhm, well, not really fitting into this explanation is the following line "And it's caught wide screen so we dont miss a thing", which I understand the way... that he's referring to our media society, to reality soaps covering every aspect of our lives. Everything's filmed, so we don't miss a thing. Humm.
Anyone agreeing with any party of my interpretation? ;)
Wow. No comments? Well, I'm sitting another exam tomorrow, so I guess I still have 24 hours! Boom boom.
"And its caught wide screen so we dont miss a thing" Best line by a running mile!
oh hell. i can relate so much. okay, maybe i'm this one who always thinks it's with the guy who is not that courageus to tell the girl of his hearth, that he loves her. but it could bee :D see : everytime they meet, he thinks : jea jea, this time im gonna tell her, this time we will work it out. this time the happyend will be on my site. but he evrytime goes home alone, with that pulsing Pain in his Left site.
He imagines the moment he will tell her. ( wide screen, so we don't miss a thing
This is such a beautyful song. Dragic your so right!
Hahahaha, so far every song lyric I looked up in the category of brit-pop has at least one comment about a boy and girl or vice versa. No pun against you or anything Dragic but I just think it's so ironic.
Cheers, Tom
I can't but help to think that this song is about an arguement "People rushing left to right There's pretty faces left to right I'm just frozen staring into space" I think this is him seeing his girlfriend cheating on him and hes just frozen in his tracks
"And it's caught wide screen so we dont miss a thing" I think this is theres alot going on around him and yet he focuses on his cheating girlfriend making the image feel "widescreen"
"Couldn't be an accident Cause I cant see no ambulance," Hes saying it couldnt of been a drunken mistake or anything accidentle because he can't see the mad rush of pushing the guy/girl of his girlfriend mad rush like an ambulence fast and means theres danger
"I know that we will work it out this time" This time they will sort their relationship out and its not the first time the relationships gone wrong
This is how I see the song anyway Feel free to contridict me XxXRarahXxX P.S Im not very good with grammer and stuff so hmm yeh...sorry
Possibly even the planned birth of a child...
