Badly Drawn Boy - Plan B Lyrics






Not now baby I haven't got the time
Not now baby I haven't got the time
Not now baby I haven't got the time

If at first we fail
Just wait for it to mature like a diamond

So when your lover(doesn't love you anymore)
And you discover(you may have been through this before)
And there's no answer(there's certainly no cure)
To this disease(it leaves you wanting more)

The saints and sinners behind the former line
And all you winners I'm with you all the time
(all the winners are I'm you all the time)
All you winners behind the former line

B...B...B...B

So when your lover(doesn't love you anymore)
And you discover(you may have been through this before)
And there's no answer(there's certainly no cure)
To this disease(it leaves you wanting more)

Maybe we're just heading for disaster
We're better than this
It's just another chapter
If everything fails
We change the rules
Revert to plan B

Maybe we're just heading for disaster
We're better than this
It's just another chapter
If everything fails
We change the rules
Revert to plan B

Badly Drawn Boy Plan B Comments
  1. A.... W....

    Lol this sounds like Grovel Grovel from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

  2. O.... J....

    Been looking for this song since I was 9 I’m now 26

  3. D.... ....

    TUNE!!!!

  4. M.... ....

    Put me in the line of happy people who've heard this for the 1st or 100th time. Back in the day, I drove from Oklahoma to Montana with 10 CDs. This track was always a highlight at a 2:00 pm smoke break, or fueling up in New Mexico at dawn. And so cool to now know a video came along for me now.

  5. N.... P....

    Based on a true story in South America and two young love birds lock horns and braces get locked in and caused tailback while getting to the Hospital

  6. r.... d....

    thought I would end the year with a classic, love this song

  7. J.... S....

    Only Badly Drawn Boy song I know and remember. Wonder why!!

  8. D.... W....

    Reminds me of Elliot Smith , love both

  9. A.... T....

    I heard this for the first time on Sunday when I went to my local pub for a roast. It was so loud in there, I walked across the room to Shazam it and have been obsessed ever since. I can see why so many people feel that it is timeless. It really invokes a nostalgic feeling from my childhood in the UK and I’m grateful that even though I’m late to the party, I’m here none the less.

  10. O.... ....

    I forgot how good this was, fantastic track

  11. F.... P....

    An' I'm fascinated by this song ♡

  12. T.... ....

    Perfect!

  13. R.... P....

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2810819/Couple-having-sex-sea-hospitalised-genitals-stuck-together.html 😱

  14. M.... K....

    That is nearly as good as when Marriott scored the 4th against Leeds

  15. R.... S....

    Love this song, but the wrong colour door on the Austin Princess car makes the video much funnier!

  16. M.... ....

    The video captures the song; and the song captures the video.. entwined in more ways than one .. great work

  17. A.... ....

    At least there's a million people with great taste in music a love in their hearts...
    That's nice to know :)

  18. G.... 6....

    I love this song and the music video is so perfect... Reminds me of being young and most of my friends thinking my taste in music was lame... Ha ... Oh and also when people actually watched music videos on the Tele

  19. j.... K....

    Why does this song not get more love... ?


    fantastic bliss exists...

  20. i.... ....

    This is supernatural music. As a normal person I can’t believe it was created by a person with fairly similar DNA. It just makes me feel so fucking good and inadequate at the same time. Tune.

  21. A.... I....

    Beautiful

  22. F.... P....

    An' I'm fascinated by this song ♡

  23. J.... W....

    I love you eternally and infinity Tori.

    “Take a left,
    A sharp left,
    And another left, meet me on the corner
    And we’ll start over again.”

  24. M.... D....

    Accidents and emergency pretty much describes my first marriage

  25. 3.... ....

    I met Badly when he was touring the states around 02. Worked his show and became a fan for life. Can't imagine my 20s without his music

  26. B.... s....

    2019! listening this amazing song! <3 first time in 2009.

  27. M.... M....

    damn that pattern is hard to sing to, seems so offbeat. love it.

  28. K.... D....

    A perfectly written short song, that melody. mwahh!

  29. w.... ....

    pure, simple love. 1st love, accentuated by kiss to picture.

  30. B.... D....

    Now, is it weird if I keep thinking of this song while I listen to this?

    https://youtu.be/z-GUjA67mdc

  31. r.... ....

    Classic! This is summer 2005 for me ...the entire album really. 🌝💜

  32. S.... B....

    Good old Bolton boy✌️

  33. M.... D....

  34. S.... O....

  39. T.... C....

    Two parts Golden Brown; one part Sketch For Summer. Shake well, and serve.

    T.... C....

    The Cosmic Lounge ..Well observed.

  40. S.... F....

    Walked in hmv few years ago and damien goth was in talked while top bloke nice to say hello

  41. c.... o....

    It’s melancholy but makes your ❤️ soar & the video is just fantastic
    Okay my ❤️ soar
    Every
    Bloody
    Time

  42. t.... ....

    Badly Drawn Boy, Elliott Smith, Ben Lee, American Football, the Mountain Goats, Beta Band, etc. - this was a period of the 90's that truly had some special recordings by some fantastic artists.

  43. z.... S....

    One hit golden wonder...

    Rest of album was terrible

  44. I.... J....

    I am watching it after 10 yrs of release

  45. J.... B....

    Nearly 19 years on and I still absolutely LOVE this song.

  46. M.... P....

    I was never never into this guy at all....
    But this song is simply brilliant.. thanks for posting it

  47. G.... W....

    My mom showed me this song

    I'm so grateful

  49. j.... ....

    I just love this song,so much joy this bring me

  50. T.... K....

    I love this song brings a lot of memories back

  51. M.... ....

    This song puts on the best mood.

  52. D.... M....

    I just found this song the other day ago and I’m in love with it. Great song, amazing artist.

  53. A.... V....

    My madame and me will dance to this one days

  54. B.... R....

    This could be on repeat forever and it would never get old.

  55. k.... s....

    個人的に永遠の名曲
    何もすることなくてMTVずーっと見てた若い頃のやるせなさとバカバカしさと
    それを全て俯瞰するように歌うこの人の淡々とした歌声
    あの頃の青苦さがいつでも蘇ってくる

  56. C.... T....

    Badly Drawn Boy is, was, and always will be, superb. But I saw him live in Nottingham in 2006 and, I’ll tell you what, I’ve never seen a grumpier live performer. I like seeing people who look like they enjoy being on stage.

    C.... T....

    He’s been through some shit though. Saw him a few years back and he was grumpy as hell. Then saw him again and he was talking about his mental health problems and apologising for his behaviour, had taken a break from music, and was just getting back to it. Even had his mum and dad with him. It was sweet as hell.

  62. T.... J....

    Dude that ugly could never get a girl like that in real life

  63. A.... H....

    I could be wrong based on A true story

  64. a.... ....

    It took me sixteen years to find this song. I used to have it going round in my head and I'd hum it to bemused people, it was driving me mad, the lost song. Finally heard it playing in a shop and practically jumped on the counter to demand what was playing. What an absolutely amazing song :)

    a.... ....

    SAME! Just found it again today. Been searching since for a long time.

    a.... ....

    No shit... same here, except for the shop-part :)

    a.... ....

    I had the same journey to find this song 😂😂👏🏻 finally found out it who it was a few years back after years of searching

    a.... ....

    Exactly same senario for myself. This song is amazing

    a.... ....

    aka_mowgli hard times

  65. B.... ....

    Ah my old car. It was the summer of ‘99 - I just moved to London from Ireland and this was my first job. I had never heard of ‘Badly Drawn Boy’ (was this his break thru?) but I had a great day and love this song since. He was also a real nice guy. The car the couple in the video drove became my car after the video 👍

  66. s.... ....

    This tune makes me smile everytime I hear it, happy and emotional at the same time. Weird! But so good 😊

  67. B.... P....

    Love this! It soooooo Jazzy!

  68. O.... C....

  74. B.... M....

    I almost forgot the name of both the song and the artist. I felt genuine panic that I would never hear it again.

    B.... M....

    same here..

    B.... M....

    Happened to me too bro

    B.... M....

    Berb McLermon highly forgettable. Thank god for the punk rock sound. USA

  75. M.... C....

    "Take a left,
    A sharp left
    And another left, meet me on the corner
    And we'll start, again."

    Simple yet beautiful.

  76. P.... M....

    A beautiful song. Cutest video ever 😊👍

  77. T.... c....

    Who is the Girl?

  78. S.... C....

    Beautiful - Woke up and got this stuck in my head this morning, found myself on YouTube and here I am.
    This speaks to the late 80s early 90s Generation X indie kids of love lost, won and unrequited - much of the latter in my experience!!!!!
    It's normal life, not airbrushed Kardashian and Love Island crap.
    How did we get here from great stuff like this?
    A grumpy middle aged man (almost) now but we really DID have the best music.
    It was a great era of music to live through and, well I played it a couple of times before I wrote this.
    Off to find my old tapes, couldn't afford CDs at the time, and probably get some soulless digital copies so I can still play the music I grew up to.
    Thanks for posting. Great Times.

  79. S.... K....

    He's driving a fucking cheese wedge! Lol

  80. P.... C....

    Man those cars be some Chevy citation looking hoopties. Wonder if thats his real whip?

  81. M.... ....

    Name of the girl on video?

  82. M.... C....

    Awesome, love the intro

  83. h.... ....

    this is a ace tune

  84. I.... G....

    This song is so brilliant. It is simple but has a Burt Bacharach touch to it.

  85. A.... M....

    great tune

  86. W.... o....

    absolute class

  87. R.... B....

    Another masterpiece discovered, but quite late, in 2017.

    R.... B....

    Roberto Bascuñán Sanhueza Ikr? But better late than never, yeah?

  88. J.... M....

    wicked , yet fantastic! how u conquer other comments?THEYRE ALL GENIOUS

  89. A.... B....

    A.... B....

    A.L. B me too

  90. G.... C....

    Always will love this song so much and video

  91. s.... w....

    wonderful stuff

  92. P.... ....

    A beautiful song that you don't have to be a big fan of Badly Drawn Boy to appreciate. It reminds me a bit of the wit and bruised innocence of The Smiths eg Ask. I love the line 'Your beauty will last for a while'. It's got that 'I may not always love you' feel. One of my favourite songs of the last 25 years.

    P.... ....

    Picnicl Agreed.

  93. D.... A....

    koji si ih moj zakačio, mogli su se ljube
