Lords of the New Church - Bad Timing

Lords of the New Church

Bad Timing is a simple, sad story of poor choices, verbal abuse, and ultimately loss. I’ve always liked the drums, and Stiv Bators gave a great vocal performance, and I think the lyrics are really good too.

And of course, the lyrics:

I never ever said I loved ya
Leave off-I never cared
Just kept you ’round to do my cleanin’
You were just one of my chairs

Don’t you know that it was just bad timing?
You had a need to feel secure
Why did you leave me?
Don’t want to be lonely
Why did you leave me?
Don’t know how to show you
Can’t you see that I need you
awh…

You fill me with inertia
I don’t share privacy, I don’t want no friend
Our life together’s got to end

Don’t you know that it was just bad timing?
You had a need to feel secure
Why did you leave me?
Don’t want to be lonely
Why did you leave me?
can’t show you, can’t tell you
awrhh!

You left a bood ring in my bath
You used my last blade on your veins
You never told me you were leavin’
You never talked about the pain

Don’t you know that it was just bad timing?
I just made you fee so insecure
oh why did you leave me?
Did you feel that lonely?
Why did you leave me? The finish came between us

Can never be able to say that
I always….Loved ya’
