                           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
