(Chorus 1)

Stop now, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Stop now, what's that sound?

(Repeat chorus 1)

(Chorus 2)

I am a timebomb

A ticking ticking ticking timebomb

I am a timebomb

A ticking ticking ticking timebomb

Unattended on the railway station

In the litter at the dancehalls

Sitting pretty near the fast-food counter

In the backseat of a Vauxhall

(Repeat chorus 2)

(Repeat chorus 1)

(Repeat chorus 2)

Hear the ticking of your heartbeat beating

Hear the breaking of their promises

Hear the smashing of your expectations

Hear the shattering of half-rhymes

(Repeat chorus 2)

(Repeat chorus 1)

You don't tell time--time tells you

And all the timebombs

They're all dancing to the same song

In a world full of no-ones

I am a someone

Timebomb, timebomb, timebomb, timebomb

(Repeat chorus 1)

London bridge is falling down
