Saga - Time Bomb Lyrics






Where were you today?
I'm not sure if I should tell you
What have you got to say?
I'm sorry
You said you want to stay
I know, I know, I know, I've tried
So why did you run away?
Can't ya see I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Won't somebody come and light my fuse
What will it be tonight?
I won't know until I get there
What do you hope to find?
Some answers
But tears may fill your eyes
I know, I know, but I'll be fine
So why do you need to fly?
I just know I've got to try
You've always had more than you need
So why are you a stranger to me?
Can't ya see I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Gettin' ready to explode
Don't you know I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm just tick'n like a time bomb
Won't somebody come and light my fuse
Where were you today?
I'm not sure if I should tell you
What have you got to say
I'm not sorry
You said you want to play
I know, I know, I know, I lied
So why'd you run away?
Show me
Show me I'll show you mine
I'm not blind
All revealed in good time
Tell me
Who made silence a crime?
Don't be shy
It's not all in my mind
Can't ya see I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Somebody light my fuse
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I've got nothin' to lose
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Won't somebody come and light my fuse
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Don't ya know I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb

Saga Time Bomb Comments
  1. B.... V....

    A fantasticly strong opener, but if I remain an honest Saga fan, none of the following songs equals that high level again. Don't say goodbye comes the closest. I'd rate it a 9/10 for the opener, an 8/10 for Don't say... and a 7/10 for the rest, even if some of these songs - as always with Saga - have some very good ideas hidden inside. Gilmour's solo vocals have quite some merits too.

    B.... V....

    I have to disagree! Being a young 21 year old and just recently having to move back in with my parents, "Home" Strikes my heart like no other, the whole album is great, but not quite as good as some of their other albums.

    B.... V....

    @Trevor Harrington I miss the solid well made and melodic compositions as one can find on 20/20 (Anywhere you wanna go etc.), Trust (the title track etc.) or Marathon. As a 53 year "old" I grew up with Saga, being a fan at a time when you were either a U2-fan, a Simple Minds fan or at least a Human League fan if you wanted to be hip. It was not a "let's be very anti-hip" thing from my part, I just was flabbergasted when I heard songs like Tired World or The Perfectionist for the first time. I began to be less interested after albums as Beginner's guide, Pain and the Pleasure or Generation 13, but so many years later I came back to check out what these guys have been up to since then, and I found quite a lot of fantastic songs scattered over different albums. I decided to buy several of these, including Full Circle, but among the "new" ones I discovered years later, this one certainly is one of the weakest. However I have to underline I'm not so much interested in the lyrics, but purely in the melodies: does it work out fine from A to Z, are they not ruined by an over enthousiastic drummer, a rather boring bass, a surprising but not in the good sense shift in emotions etc. But that's purely personal, not the Absolute Truth or a scientific issue with only one outcome possible. And in the end we're all Saga fans for different reasons, and that's a good thing. It's even a better thing that young people too discover this very underestimated and underrated band, that should have sold as many records as Boston or Toto.

    Awesome album, it would be cool to have a poster of that front cover simply amazing

  3. J.... T....

    God I love this band. No respect from the U.S. music critics. I wish I could write songs like these. Just amazing.

    J.... T....

    Joe - I love this band as well. I have their full cd catalog. I am mostly into the heavy metal genre, but SAGA is one prog-band that has always captured me. I have enjoyed the transitions and experimenting they did musically: even the releases from their inception is amazing.

    J.... T....

    The US music critics are indeed selectively tonedeaf. So many fantastic bands never got the push they needed, think Strangeways.
