Celluloid summer cut me like a knife And the hipsters are riding shotgun with my life Oh, their arrogance is worth its weight in gold While they price me, merchandise me - then I'm sold
CHORUS Seven weeks and it's off the charts They tell me, Bad Timing Everybody's on holiday No reply - Bad Timing Cash advance on my royalties? So sorry, Bad Timing I gave you all of my loyalties No reply - Bad Timing
Talk ain't cheap when you're paying by the pound But they always mention their expense account 'Til they take you to the point of no return Legalize me, criticize me - I've been burned
CHORUS Fell in love with my manager They called that Bad Timing I'm being taken advantage of They told me, Bad Timing And in return for my loyalty So sorry, Bad Timing He's taking half of my royalties No reply - Bad Timing
