Time’s Up (Demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Howard Devoto, Pete Shelley] I'll be waiting at the supermarket Or standing in line with the beans (Cash up) I'll be waiting at the post office For sticky pictures of the queen (Stick up) And now, I'm waiting for you To get yourself a-ready (Makeup) Thinking to myself, is this what they mean, uh By going steady? (Break up) [Refrain 1: Devoto] I'll be waiting in the waiting room And I'll be sitting in the sitting room And now I'm waiting in the dining room I'm gonna forget what I came for here real soon [Verse 2: Devoto, Shelley] I was really smoldering Seen the back of forty king-size cigarettes (Stood up) This [?] isn't murder But if you'd just, uh, run up, I'd have no regrets (Give up) And so, I phone your number And your mother tells me you're still in bed (Get up) When you get to the phone, your voice is thick and sexy Goes to my head (Shot up) [Refrain 2: Devoto] I'll be standing in the standing room And I'll be smoking in the smoking room And now, I'm dying in the living room, uh I'm gonna forget what I came for here real soon [Chorus 1: Devoto & Shelley] I said to your mother, your time's up, me too I'm out on account of you Time's up, me too, uh I'm out on account of you Your time's up, me too I'm out on account of you Time's up, and me too And I'm out on account of you [Verse 3: Devoto, Shelley] I was really smoldering Seen the back of forty king-size cigarettes (Stood up) This hanging 'round is killing me, uh If you'd just creep along, I'd have no regrets (Give up) And so, I phone your number But your mother tells me you're still in bed (Get up) When you get to the phone, your voice is thick and sexy Shoots through the top of my head (Shot up) [Refrain 3: Devoto] And I'll be standing in the standing room And I'll be smoking in the smoking room And now, I'm dying in the living room Waiting for you's like I've been a-waiting for the man in the moon [Chorus: Devoto & Shelley] I said your time's up, me too I'm out on account of you You're time's up, me too And I'm out on account of you Your time's up, me too Oh, I'm out on account of you Your time's up, and, me too And I'm out on account of you [Outro: Devoto] Yeah, your time's up I'm telling ya, your time's up Right up
