the j. geils band ♦ on borrowed time (louder organ) ♦ stereo remixEdit for headphones, August 2026. Edit of a song of their first album, the 1970 album "The J. Geils Band".
I came across a six track version of the song, hence the louder organ.
John Geils: guitar 1967-1984
Peter Wolf: vocals 1967-1983
Magic Dick: harmonica 1967-1984
Danny Klein: bass 1967-1984
Stephen Jo Bladd: drums 1967-1984
Seth Justman: keyboards, vocals 1968-1984
The band is from Boston, which was one of the hardest places to be a Rock band in the '60s. The city rarely authorized Rock concerts, and in 1967, MGM Records tried marketing some Boston bands as "The Bosstown Sound," which was a response to the psychedelic sound coming out of San Francisco. It was a huge flop, and killed most record company interest in Boston bands. The J. Geils Band was a rare exception, and made it despite the anti-Rock climate in the city.
Peter Wolf was married to actress Faye Dunaway from 1974 to 1979.
In their younger days, they earned the name "The Jewish Rolling Stones" because of their R&B sound and their wild live shows.
They were invited to play the original Woodstock, but turned it down, reportedly saying, "Three days in the mud - who needs it?"
ON BORROWED TIME
(Peter Wolf/Seth Justman)
how fast it happened
how soon it was gone
you could've been all mine
but time moved us on
how well I remember
how hard I forget
I know I'll get over you
but it ain't happened yet
on borrowed time
on borrowed time
I borrowed some love
that never was mine
how close we could have been
if this was your home
it hurt me so bad
each night I was alone
on borrowed time
on borrowed time
I borrowed some love
that never was mine
all right
give me back my love
wow come on baby
on borrowed time
on borrowed time
on borrowed time
on borrowed time
I borrowed your love baby
on borrowed time
on borrowed time
yeah let me tell you
on borrowed time
oh yeah
on borrowed time
