Time Bomb - Darren Hayes (Lyric Video)

An intense pop song demo by Darren Hayes.

The original soundcloud file was taken down from Darren Hayes Powdered Sugar production company account. On his personal page, he said "Literally every song of mine I've ever uploaded here, was taken down by soundcloud - even though I own the publishing and master recording rights of the tracks. Soundcloud, you're a joke. Love, Darren Hayes." [  / tracks  ](  / tracks  )
The song was reuploaded by ipekblue and can be heard at [  / darren-hayes-time-bomb-2003  ](  / darren-hayes-time-bomb-2003  )

This song was from 2003, written by Darren Hayes and Marius De Vries. The is around the time he was working on his 2nd solo album 'The Tension and the Spark'. Allegedly this song was was written for Kylie Minogue. She does have a song called Time Bomb, released in 2012, but it's a completely different song, with only that word in common.

The lyrics were transcribed by me, and uploaded to AzLyrics [https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/darre...](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/darre...)

Hoo-ooh

T-t-tension inside
Take a look in my eyes
There is nowhere to hide
There's no reason to lie
The feelings I have are no good
Aching for you

Try to keep it contained
Try to go with the flow
I know I am insane
But I can't let it show
I'm keeping up my appearance

And you know chemicals won't do the trick
They haven't made a pill more powerful than
The way we used to be
I'm still clinging to that memory

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still be unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity

Mmm mmm

So I bear it and grin
Try to cover it up
Try to bury the sin
But it's never enough
Cause the feelings I've got are no good

And they cannot be drowned in alcohol
But there is no state of oblivion
untainted by this spell
I am haunted by our memory

And how can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still feel unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I am losing all my dignity

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still feel unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I don't care, I've got no dignity

I'm gonna set it off
I'm gonna set it right next to you
It's ticking, baby
I'm gonna set it off
I'm gonna set it down next to you
This ticking time bomb

Mmm mm mm

Oh,

C'mon

Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh

Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh

And now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still feel unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody fail to recognize desire burning
And now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity, yeah

Mmm
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
Mmm
I'm ticking just like a time bomb
Mmm
I'm smashing the pieces...
