Good Idea at the Time Lyrics by The Wombats

Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This?

2022

[Verse 1]
Get some of that makeup on
And tell me what could go wrong
In a city that's built
On water and stilts
You can bounce me off the tide
And watch me as I subdivide
Into a masked parade
Where I can be led astray
[Pre-Chorus]
Why have you got to analyse it?
Why have you got to analyse it?
[Verse]
Some don't come back from here
It costs money just to disappear
It costs money just to take it on the chin
To the tune and the violin
It's not sleep that I need
I want to let off a little steam
In a city that knows
A few things we don't
[Pre-Chorus]
Why have you got to analyse it?
Why have you got to analyse it?
I just wanna forget about it
Why have you got to analyse it?
Why have you got to analyse it?
I just wanna forget about it
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to wage a war
I didn't mean to start a fight
It was a good idea at the time
I've seen fog like this before
I guess I should've read the signs
It was a good idea at the time
I didn't mean to wage a war
I didn't mean to start a fight
It was a good idea at the time
And you can try and shut the door
Nothing ever gets left behind
It was a good idea at the time
[Outro]
(Why have you got to analyse it?)
It was a good idea at the time
(Why have you got to analyse it?)
It was a good idea at the time
(Why have you got to analyse it?)
It was a good idea at the time
(Why have you got to analyse it?)
It was a good idea at the time
(Why have you got to analyse it?)
It was a good idea at the time
(Why have you got to analyse it?)
It was a good idea at the time
(I just wanna forget about it)
It was a good idea at the time
