Wasting Time
Sator · Slammer! [1988]
I saw you from behind took control over your mind
We travelled all around to the other side of town
There you bought a piece of soap and a picture of the pope
I think we had a lot of fun
Seen here from behind
I've been moving 'round in circles
Like a bird with just one wing
I've been wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time oh yeah!
I followed you for hours wasted all my time
Counted all your footsteps but I don't remember why
I'm a fair minded soul so tired of being alone
How I wish I was that soap daily used by you
I've been moving 'round in circles
Like a bird with just one wing
I've been wasting time...
Huh!
Hey!
I've been moving...
I've been wasting time...
We travelled all around to the other side of town
There you bought a piece of soap and a picture of the pope
I think we had a lot of fun
Seen here from behind
I've been moving 'round in circles
Like a bird with just one wing
I've been wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time
Wasting time oh yeah!
I followed you for hours wasted all my time
Counted all your footsteps but I don't remember why
I'm a fair minded soul so tired of being alone
How I wish I was that soap daily used by you
I've been moving 'round in circles
Like a bird with just one wing
I've been wasting time...
Huh!
Hey!
I've been moving...
I've been wasting time...
Wasting Time
Sator's 'Wasting Time' stands as a defining track from the 1988 album 'Slammer!', capturing the raw energy and chaotic atmosphere of the early electronic music scene. Released during a pivotal era for experimental sound, the recording showcases Sator's signature ability to blend industrial textures with melodic sensibilities. The song reflects the broader cultural zeitgeist of the late 1980s, where underground electronic acts were pushing boundaries and challenging conventional norms. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a specific mood of restless anticipation, characteristic of the genre's evolution during that period.
