From the recording The Original and Genuine
Lyrics
Time Bomb
Just a little friend of my sister Grace
One of the girls hang around round our place
I never really paid you any mind
When look at you now well I musta been blind
You’re like a time-bomb, time-bomb
Tickin’, tickin’ time-bomb, time-bomb
You went off like a time bomb, time-bomb
Tickin’, tickin’ time-bomb, time-bomb
Said, remember me, I’m you sister’s friend
Feels real good just to see you again
And then you kissed me right on the cheek
I’m telling you girl I could hardly speak
(Chorus?)
Now we’re sitting in this small café
And you asking me do I feel OK
Well the truth is honey I don’t feel to smart
Feel like my world’s been blown apart
Chorus
Now you’re looking at me with those big blue eyes
And you say I understand, and I sympathise
The very same thing just happened to me
And I got a smouldering crater where my heart should be
Chorus
