Prior performance and recording

Prior to the Relics compilation album, "Biding My Time" was an unreleased recording, heard only by fans who attended concerts where the band performed their early concept piece, The Man and The Journey, where the song appeared as "Afternoon". During the song a trombone can be heard which is played by keyboardist Rick Wright.[4] The lyrics talk about the narrator spending his time with a woman he loves and forgetting the "bad days" when they were both "workin' from nine to five".
