A stripped-back, alternative version of 'Timebomb'.
lyrics
TIMEBOMB
I’ve heard it all before and still I’m hearing more
Don’t try to build me up, it’s like you won’t give up
It’s when you’re messin’ round, it’s where you put me down
So many reasons why, too many alibis
This love it seems to be drawn-out catastrophe
So in this roundabout, it’s time to let me out
If I don’t leave today, we will just tick away
And deepen in despair, one way to nowhere
Build me up, put me down, you keep messin’ around
Count me out, count me in, there’s just nothing to win
Build me up, send me down, to the twist and shout
Had enough and today I’m leaving, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m feeling out of touch but you just won’t give up
So very hard to see what you once meant to me
Don’t wanna put you down but we just can’t be bound
It’s how we’ll end this reel and how we really feel
If we were circumspect, there’d be a great effect
A former weight of mine that stands the test of time
We didn’t last so long. Oh, how it feels so wrong
As clear as this song
Our love is a timebomb, yeah
Build me up, put me down, you keep messin’ around
Count me out, count me in, there’s just nothing to win
Build me up, send me down to the twist and shout
Had enough and today I’m leaving, yeah
And you say: Well, could we try again?
Oh, no, no, we could never begin again
And you say: Not even one more chance?
Not a chance. There’s just nothing, nothing to say to save this dead romance
I’ll leave you with your Beatles, I’m taking back my Rolling Stones
I’ll leave you with your Beatles, I’m taking back my Rolling Stones

Listening to a lot of Kevin Robertson and the Vapour Trails recently. Superb songwriting and playing. Those guitar sounds are so damn good. whatrobdidnext
