My Favourite Waste of Time
Paul Owen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my favourite waste of time.
My baby, you're my favourite waste of time
Here I am, I'm playing daydreaming fool again
My favourite game
And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above
You're the one that I love and
My baby, you're my favourite waste of time
I don't care if being with you
Is meaningless and ridiculous
If it's wrong or right
I'm gonna give you my love tonight
And tomorrow night 'cause
You're my baby, you're my favourite waste of time
My baby, you're my favourite wast of time
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
You're my baby, you're my favourite waste of time
My baby, you're my favourite waste of time
And one last thing
I'm gonna give you my love tonight,
And the bells gonna ring 'cause
You're my baby, you're my favourite waste of time
My baby. you're my favourite waste of time
My baby, you're my favourite waste of time
My baby, you're my favourite waste of time
The lyrics to Paul Owen's song You're My Favourite Waste of Time speak of a person who is daydreaming about someone they love, someone who they consider to be their favourite waste of time. Despite the fact that being with this person may be meaningless or ridiculous, the person singing the song doesn't care and is willing to give them their love regardless. The repetition of the phrase "My baby, you're my favourite waste of time" emphasizes the singer's devotion to this person, and the final line "And the bells gonna ring" suggests that they may be thinking about marriage.
The song seems to be about the concept of wasting time on things that one loves but which may not necessarily be productive or meaningful in a traditional sense. The singer is aware that being with this person might not make sense to others, but they don't care because they find joy in the relationship. The idea of daydreaming also adds to this sense of escapism, as the singer is able to retreat into their own thoughts and fantasies about this person.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of playful romanticism that celebrates the feeling of being in love and the joy of having someone to share time with, even if that time may be seen as wasteful or frivolous to others.

It always amazes me how hearing a song from the past can conjure up such intense nostalgic feelings. This song reminds me of long days of sunshine, care free attitude and simply being at one and happy with the world. Obviously the world wasn’t always a bed of roses back then, but the innocence of youth somehow masked it all. Nice to feel that feeling once again, even just for the length of a song. It transports you back there even though just for a moment. As ABBA said I too also thank you for the music. ❤
