Little Time Bomb

(Billy Bragg)

One's of them off her food

And the other's off his head

And both of them are off down the boozer

To drink a toast

To the one that he hates most

And she says there are no winner, only losers

Well if there are no winners

Then what is this he thinks

As he watches her complete a lap of honour

And he sits in the stands

With his head in his hands

And he thinks of all the things

He'd like to bring down upon her

Revenge will bring cold comfort in this darkest hour

As the jukebox says 'It's All Over Now'

And he stands and he screams

What have I done wrong

I've fallen in love with a little time bomb

I've fallen in love with a little time bomb

In public he's such a man

He's punching at the walls with his bare ad bloody hands

He's screaming and shouting and acting crazy

But at home he sits alone and he cries like a baby

He holds your letters but he can't read them

As he fights this loneliness you call freedom

You said this would happen and you were not wrong

I've fallen in love with a little time bomb

I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
