"No Time" is a song by Canadian rock band The Guess Who. Composed by guitarist Randy Bachman and lead singer Burton Cummings, the song is basically a Dear John letter stating, "No time left for you".
There are two versions of the song. The original 1969 recording was done for The Guess Who's album Canned Wheat. But it is the 1970 re-recording (as featured on the American Woman album) that is the better-known version. This one is slightly faster in tempo and the two verses transposed. The 1970 single peaked at #5 in the US and was the third in a string of #1 million selling singles in Canada for The Guess Who.
This song was also used in the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley.
Famous quotes containing the words time and/or guess:
“The time of the seasons and the constellations
The time of milking and the time of harvest
The time of the coupling of man and woman
And that of beasts. Feet rising and falling.
Eating and drinking. Dung and death.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“I can’t remember what I was doing before running. I guess shopping, sewing, watching TV—gaining nothing.”
—Miki Gorman (b. 1935)
