Little Time Bomb Lyrics - Billy Bragg

One of them's off her foot 

And the other one'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 winners, only losers 

Well if there are no winners 

Then what is this he thinks 

As he watches her complete a lap of honor 

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 

In public he's such a man 

He's punching at the walls with his bare and 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 that you call freedom 

You said this would happen and you were not wrong 

I've fallen in love with a little time bomb
