All The Time In The World Lyrics

There's still a long way to go
And the nights are closing in
But if I'd travelled any faster babe
Lord knows where I might have been

Right from those early days
I put my faith in the axle not the wheels
Like old Zeno's toytus
with Achilles snapping at my heels

Don't worry
There's no hurry
Here we are
With All The Time In The World

I could have been a high-flying dealer
But I have no desire for speed
I could have been a wild receiver
But I've got everything I need

And so I watch the world
Go racing by tearing up the street
I lay back in the long grass
Take it easy and rest my feet

Don't worry
You know, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

No-one ever held me back
You know that no-one ever put me in chains
No-one ever saw me racing ahead
No-one had to tug on my reins

As everybody knows
I may be slow but I never quit
Sometimes on a good day I sit and think
Sometimes I just sit

Don't worry
Relax, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

All The Time In The World Song Chart

Released as a single from Deep Purple's 2013 Now What?! album, the song finds lead singer Ian Gillan in a contemplative mood, singing about watching the world go racing by as he lays in the grass.

The band, secure in their place in rock history, could certainly rest on their laurels and retire, but they toured extensively for the album and showed no signs of slowing down. This mark of Purple is comprised of Gillan, bass player Roger Glover, guitarist Steve Morse, drummer Ian Paice, and keyboard player Don Airey. They are all credited writers on this song along with Bob Ezrin, who produced the album.

In our interview with Steve Morse , he explained that his guitar work on this track was influenced by the Motown sound. He also explained that Ian Paice added some distinctive elements to the track. "Ian Paice does these little swingy, great-feeling drum parts so naturally because he's got a lot of history with big band type swing and cool jazz," Steve said. "It was just a great feel. It was sultry and seductive and just felt right."

The lyric delves into Greek legend with the line, "Like old Zeno's toytus, with Achilles snapping at my heels." Achilles has appeared in rock songs of yore, but Zeno we had to look up. He was a real person - a philosopher from around 450 BC famous for his paradoxes making the case that motion could be an illusion.
