No one mentioned the diamonds. It takes time and incredible pressure to create diamonds.
Lack of time and incredible pressure also creates fudged tax returns, but I digress…
Time - He’s waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy
Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
(David Bowie)
It keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.
It rolls like a river on and on to the sea.
I see my folks, they’re getting old, I watch their bodies change…
I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel strange…
No matter how you tell yourself, It’s what we all go through…
Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they’re staring’ back at you.
Scared you’ll run out of time.
(Bonnie Raitt: Nick of Time)
Nobody’s permanent
Everything’s on loan here
Even your wife and kids
Could be gone next year
And with what you have left
You’ll be forever under pressure
To support her
And a lover who looks strangely
Like Time the Avenger
(the Pretenders: Time the Avenger)
To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late
(Pete Seeger: Turn Turn Turn)
I fully agree with the OP. Yet oddly enough I manage to agree with ol’ Tom, too…
"*And it’s time, time,
Time that you love
And it’s time
Time
Time*
Time keeps on slippin’ slippin’… slippin’ like every daaaaaay
yah yah
My mind keeps on trippin’ tripppin’… tripppin’ like everydaaaaay
ooh yea

and Space.
Can’t forget the Space.
Actually, that was me. Sorry.
:mad: Why I otta… 
Eh, if I hadn’t done it someone else would have.
I had a dog named Time. He kept pestering bikers, and cars.
Somebody asked me once why he was called Time. I said:
(you know what’s coming)
Because Time hounds all wheels. [duck and cover]
