Time’s Up (Demo)

[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
