The phrase is used in both its Latin and English forms as a proverb that "time's a-wasting". Usage ''Tempus fugit'' is typically employed as an admonition against sloth and procrastination (cf. ''carpe diem'') rather than an argument for licentiousness (cf.

Tempus Fugit (song)
''Drama'' is the tenth studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 22 August 1980 by Atlantic Records. It was their only album to feature Trevor Horn on lead vocals and the first with Geoff Downes on keyboards. This followed the departures of Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman after attempts to record a new album in Paris and London had failed. ''Drama'' was recorded hurriedly with Horn and Downes, as a tour had already been booked before the change in personnel. The album marked a development in Yes' musical direction, combining the band's progressive signature with Horn and Downes' new wave sensibilities. ''Drama'' was released to a mostly positive critical reception, with most welcoming the band's new sound. It peaked at No. 2 in the UK and No. 18 in the US, though it became their first album since 1971 not to reach gold certification by the RIAA, and their first to miss the top ten there since ''The Yes Album''. " Into the Lens" was released as the album's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
