Time’s Up Lyrics by Buzzcocks

Inventory

1977

[Verse 1: Howard Devoto, Pete Shelley]
I bin waiting at the supermarket
Standing in line with the beans (Cash up)
I bin waiting at the post office
For sticky pictures of the queen (Stick up)
And now I'm waiting for you
To get yourself good 'n ready (Makeup)
Thinking to myself, is this what they mean, uh
By going steady? (Break up)

[Refrain: Devoto]
And I bin waiting in the waiting room, uh
And I've bin sitting in the sitting room, and uh
And now I'm whining in the dining room
"Waiting for you's like waiting for the man in the moon"

[Verse 2: Devoto, Shelley]
I was really smouldering
Seen the back of forty kingsize cigarettes (Stood up)
This hanging around is a-murder
But if you'd just come 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
Goes straight to my head (Hang up)

[Refrain: Devoto]
And I bin standing in the standing room
And I bin smoking in the smoking room
And now I'm dying in the living room
I'm gonna forget a-what I came for here real soon

[Chorus: Devoto & Shelley]
I said, your time's up, me too, I'm out on account of you
Time's up, me too, I'm out on account of you
Your time's up, me too, and I'm out on account of you
Time's up, and, uh, me too, and I'm out on account of you

[Verse 3: Devoto, Shelley]
Yes I was really burned out and smouldering
Seen the front and back of eighty kingsize cigarettes (Stood up)
This hanging 'round is killing me
If you'd just creep along I'd have no regrets (Give up)
And so, I call your grandmother
She says 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: Devoto]
And I bin standing in the standing room
And I've bin be smoking in the smoking room
But now I'm dying in the living room
I'm gonna forget a-what I came for here real soon

[Chorus: Devoto & Shelley]
I said your time's up, me too, I'm out on account of you
Time's up, me too, I'm out on account of you
Your time's up, me too, and I'm out on account of you
Your time's up, and, uh, me too, and, uh, I'm out on account of you

[Outro: Devoto]
Your time's up, your time's up, right up (Uh)
