TIMEBOMB

from CAR CRASH EYES EP by NEMO

/

about

This track originally appeared on NEMO's first album FIVE MINUTE HEROES, but at the time of it's inclusion on this EP in 2006 it still had not seen an official release. The song is mysterious little fiction inspired by Cold War Spy thrillers.

lyrics

The son of Western, the son of father
Met a man called 'Sayonara'
The son of Eastern, he was a martyr
He took the medicine from the father
The European,
He saw the father give the bag to a Russian dancer
He told a policeman about the martyr
Who sent a message to the father

They never listen to the words you say
They only listen to the way you say them
They never listen to the words you say
So I never listen to a single reply

TIMEBOMB! Woahhh
We're sick of living in a TIMEBOMB!
TIMEBOMB
You think you never put a foot wrong!
That's cos you're living in a TIMEBOMB! Woahh!

The son Eastern, he saw the father,
He knew the policeman was 'Sayonara'
The son of Western, he fled to Java
The European fell in love with the dancer

They never listen to the words you say
They only listen to the way you say them
They never listen to the words you say
So I never listen to a single reply

TIMEBOMB! Woahhh
We're sick of living in a TIMEBOMB!
TIMEBOMB
You think you never put a foot wrong!
That's cos you're living in a TIMEBOMB! Woahh!

This is a story about a man called 'Sayonara'
A made up story about a man called 'Sayonara'.
