Bad idea (x4)
Ninety-nine per cent is great,
The other one percent I hate,
Little things keep bugging in my head
Wake up calls, smack and that, fashion cafe, friendly fire
GMTV, darker mornings and pay per view, litter dropping
I made a list, I got the lot and all
That stuff is all on top It's not fair but I don't care not me
Rocky Five, Indie shite, KKK, number crunching
bungee jumping, paying taxes, pavement cracks
car alarms, dinosaurs and protest songs are-
Bad idea (x4)
Give me a B-A-D-I
Give me a D-E-A...
BAD IDEA!

'good idea' and the aussie remix of 'bad idea' are wicked too! heh heh! :P
Steve Lamacq's song of 1997/98...it's easy to understand the meaning. It's just a grumpy song!
Jason is just singing about how he loves life and everything is great, starts thinking about the wee things he hates and goes listsing them as bad ideas. His vocals are brilliant in this song. The tone just changes from bouncy to total disdain.
